    Thanks for clearing that up Jen.
    Anyone else just not feeling that community spirit from BME and Modblog anymore?

    Thomas, this post has been edited since I posted that. I’m not sure if you’re responding to my comment before or after the post was completely changed. If it’s after then I’ll say the original post was not written in a way that mirrored the positive and fun attitude of our convention. This is our event so it’s only natural we’re going to promote it on our blog. That’s what anyone would do, right?

    It’s unfortunate though, that people react negatively to posts related to the community. I know you can’t please everyone all the time but we should be able to promote the body modification community without getting flack for it.

    I hope anyone in the LA area is going to come out because it’s a great show with some of the best artists. Definitely should not be missed.
