****Hmm, you guys bring up the question I dare not think about… "Is this the first nail in the coffin?"
Another question on my mind is, "what would happen if one of them decided to stop doing conventions?"****

My guess is they would keep on living their lives, same as they do now. And so would we. Websites like this and Mary D's(just examples) are run by fans for the fans, so just because conventions stopped doesn't mean the fan run websites would stop. Plus Lucy and Renee both have their own websites to keep us updated as to what they're doing. Not to mention that until Sharon retires, she'll continue to keep us updated to what's on Lucy and Renee's plate.

Sorry, but I just don't get the 'nail in the coffin' theories. No longer selling Lucy's concerts on DVD because they're not selling well has nothing to do with having the annual Xena conventions(unless the convention halls are only half full)......and even if the conventions did stop, some people seem to have the idea that it would signal the death of everything related to the show or Lucy and Renee. So where has EZ said she's going to shut down this forum if conventions stop.....same deal with Mary D. And is Lucy and Renee gonna just drop off the face of the earth if Creaton decides on no more conventions?

For me, conventions don't mean much. I've never been to one and never will. They're too far away and too much money for my tastes.......and personally(I have them on DVD) I don't think all that much new information comes out at conventions. To me, showing up at a convention once a year isn't a requirement for following what's going on with Lucy and Renee. Personally, I think Sharon retiring and no longer being in communication with us would be a bigger blow than no more conventions given she keeps us updated throughout the year on everything that's going on. But even if she did, I assume that Lucy and Renee would take a more proactive stance with their own websites to keep us updated as to whats going on with them.

Sorry, but I just think folks are blowing things way out of proportion. I understand folks may be upset if no more concert DVD's are available; but that has nothing to do with holding conventions. Now it's possible if they are also losing money on the convention DVD's, then they could also stop being produced; which I would hate, but i would understand.....but as long as the convention halls are full when Lucy and Renee are on stage, they won't stop the conventions. Now if they have the annual convention next year and the hall isn't even half full when Lucy and Renee are on stage, then folks can start talking about the end of the annual Xena conventions; but till that happens the conventions are safe.

I mean to listen to some posts, you would think Lucy or Renee are on their death beds and being able to follow their careers is now a thing of the past. If some want to believe that, simply because they may no longer sell the concert DVD's.......then have fun.
