Dear Kurt,

I hope things are well and business is good.

We wrapped up Big Apple Comic Con a couple of weeks ago and are now focused on our 2010 shows.

Our next show is in Toronto in March and then in Anaheim. The Anaheim dates are April 16th-18th. I have attached the form for reserving space in Anaheim and hope you can join us. As you will see, there are no drayage fees.

The celebrity list will grow substantially in the coming weeks but we have confirmed the attendance of Eliza Dushku from Dollhouse.

Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.

All the best,

Larry

Dear Larry,

First of all my name is not Kurt. It’s Scott. Scott Kurtz. It’s written right there in the email you just pretended to send me. Not that my name’s important or that you are actually aware of who you’re addressing. I’m a pioneer in my field and a “tastemaker” with a large podium, why would it be important to get my name right? Let’s not dawdle on such mundane details.

Your conventions are total horseshit, so it’s wise to stop branding them with the name Wizard. But no amount of polishing is going to make me want to attended any of the 5 turds your company is going to crap out in 2010, especially when you schedule them against other shows in some bullshit dick measuring contests that serves no other purpose but to fracture an already dying industry that I have nostalgic ties too.

Remember Mike Wieringo? Remember how you guys only cared about him when he was the “hot artist” for a window of time and then you quickly forgot his name despite the fact that he was producing some of the best work of his career on Fantastic Four with Mark Waid? And then remember how after he died you had the balls to name one of your panel rooms the Mike Wieringo room? I will eternally hate everyone associated with your company for that. For eternity. For Jack Kirby’s version of Eternity where the concept is embodied as a giant man made up of the universe. That’s me, hating you for the Mike Wieringo thing. Forever.

Maybe if you cared enough to actually get my name right, or maybe if you cared about creators like the late, great Mike Wieringo beyond what they can do for you THIS FIVE MINUTES, the entire industry wouldn’t all be anticipating your inevitable bankruptcy.

Give Dushku my best. She’s pretty hot and Dollhouse is alright. Otherwise, shove everything else up your ass.

Best.

I lol'd. Partly because Kurtz was right, and partly because Kurtz is full of himself.

While he has some valid points I think it would have been better if he had stayed professional. As it is he comes off as a pompous idiot.

I can understand he has issues with Wizard and all that, but posting this up on his web site just makes him seem like a petulant child.

Yeah.

He has valid points but he posts it as an open letter, which seems like "Watch me yell at this guy from the top of my ivory tower."

When I saw Kurt, in the letter, I knew I was going to be in for a treat! Kurtz never disappoints in that regard. Thanks for bringing the laughs, Kurt.[/QUOTE]

YOU DARE NOT KNOW MY NAME!?!??! Don't you know who I am? I'M SCOTT MOTHERFUCKING KURTZ, BITCH!!!!

Kurtz is like a morbidly obese Kanye West, the only other difference is that most people know who Kanye West is.

Kurt being rude aside, you'd have thought that if they were attempting to get him to spend his money there that they could get his name right.

I wonder if he sent that back to him or if he just posted it on his site.

What's the point of posting an open letter?
"Hey look at me! I showed Wizard, didn't I? Hur Hur Hur Hur"
The man can't even keep things professional.

wow... started out ok, but then at the end, sounds like a spoiled child.

Heh, heh... "kurt"... heh, heh.

Something about that cracks me up.

Seriously though, it's an angry, pissy letter but I guess maybe if they had treated a good friend of mine poorly then pretended to love him when he died I might be pissed too. I'm not saying the letter was great idea but... yeah, I would probably be angry.

Also: What is a "tastemaker"?

That was good stuff...almost as good as the same old tired crap from the same old tired voices that followed. And now I've added to that same old tired crap.

You do the hokey pokey and you turn yourself around............
