Jason David Frank Cancels Power Morphicon Appearance
Cancellations are bound to happen, but this first one is big. Jason David Frank has cancelled his appearance at Power Morphicon 3. On his Facebook page, he writes:
Hey Team,
I’m sorry to have to announce that I’m not going to be able to make it to Power Morphicon in August. I really wanted to go but I have so many appearances booked and my new school is opening in Houston that month also. I try to do everything I can for my fans but I just can’t be everywhere at once. I am disappointed that I won’t get to meet some of you there, but please try to come to one of my other events. You can email franklyjason@hotmail.com for information. You guys are important to me—I wouldn’t be where I am today without you all! God bless!
