Well, we have good news and bad news. The bad news is that it looks like Ian Somerhalder will not be able to attend Creation Entertainment’s April event in Chicago as planned. The good news is that Creation has already announced three additional guests who will be appearing on Sunday.
Unfortunately we have been notified that due to professional commitments Ian Somerhalder is unable to attend this convention. While disappointed we are happy to say that we have three new guests booked for Sunday to replace Ian’s time with us: David Anders (John Gilbert), Kat Graham (Bonnie), and Malese Jow (Anna). Those with SEPARATE Ian autograph tickets or Ian photo ops or the duo Superstar Sandwich photo op please bring these printed out PDF tickets from your computer to registration and you will be issued with a voucher good for other tickets, autographs or photo ops or if you wish a refund for the amount(s) paid please send the VOUCHER (not the tickets) after the convention to Creation, 217 South Kenwood, Glendale, CA 91205 Attention: Ed for a refund to your credit card.
This brings the total attendee numbers to nine: Paul Wesley, Matt Davis, Daniel Gillies, Michael Trevino, Zach Roerig, Torrey DeVitto, David Anders, Kat Graham, and Malese Jow. For more information about which day each guest is scheduled to appear, visit Creation Entertainment’s website.
