ScareLA and BoS Theory

Hello Tension world,

It was a crazy weekend for ScareLA and especially on The Tension side of things. I have been thinking long and hard as to how BoS could have hijacked the panel and the video. I am not a fan of this theory as somehow I have been kept in the dark for so long but it only seems to make sense. To explain where I am going I have to start at the beginning.

First Brian Sapir and myself were brought on as Associate Program Producers back in April/Mayish time for the ScareLA convention. At that time things were truly heating up with Tension and I thought it would be a great idea to bring them into the convention in any way possible. I told Program director Jon Schnitzer about them and he instantly became intrigued. After a few emails back and forth it seemed that he was growing frustrated. They stayed “in character” and he wasn’t playing around. He wanted them there and he didn’t want to play – just not in the mood.

As time went on they got confirmed for ScareLA to have a panel. I sat in on a meeting a few weeks back and when the Tension panel was brought up I was kicked out of the room. I believed it because I hate spoilers and Brian knows it. I left the room and when I came back, the rest of the table looked confused but Brian assured me it was all fine.

As much as I wanted to know what was going to happen, I never looked for those answers. I truly do hate Spoilers.

Fast forward a few weeks later, I am sitting on a phone conference with the ScareLA production team and at one point when I wasn’t paying too much attention Brian takes it off of speaker phone. I paid no attention, again thinking it was spoilerific. Afterwards Brian tells me that he knows nothing but has volunteered himself to sit in on the panel. That’s cool and all especially since Brian and I started this together and I knew he was interested. Then a day later Jonathan Luther (@JonathanScareLA) was announced as the moderator.

Now Brian says he was unaware that Jonathan was moderating until the night prior when he saw the list of talent coming in for the panel. He also told me that he was told by the superiors of the convention a few days prior to the panel that his one job was to tell the volunteers “to NOT call security”.

Yesterday was the panel and we had the rude interruption by Addy’s Daddy and then the strange BoS. The question in my mind was HOW can BoS infiltrate an OOA event. I have one idea… it was an inside job.

My theory is that Brian has some sort of connection with the BoS. I know that since he has been locked out of the forums he has been pretty negative towards the OOA and has voiced his frustration a few times. Something has been up over here at the Sapir/King household. Something has been on his mind. As we got closer to the convention he seemed to be off, I am not sure if it was the stress or my constant work flow or something else entirely. Around the time of the first BoS and Sentinel hack he seemed to fall out of the “game”. As ScareLA approached he seemed to get more interested. He had communication with the sound and video guy and maybe even ran them through a dry run before the panel started. He was sitting in the back the whole time. When the lights went out I was too busy watching everything else to see how he was responding.

I have brought it up to him and he says “they haven’t contacted me”. I am not sure if he is telling the truth or not. As I said before something isn’t right.

Either Brian has the connect to BoS or some other member of the ScareLA team does. As for me I ended up too busy after we filed Mark Upon The Flesh (formerly known as Inked) that I had no part in the planning from that point forward. My job was to run the WAIH booth which y’all saw me at.

Anyways this seems crazy but too legit. What do you all think? And if I am living with a BoS, what do I do?

Glory Be!
