An Introduction

Welcome to The Forest Moon of Endor, a blog devoted to covering to what is easily the most historically significant circuit-related news story of the past decade: The extraordinary 2009 collapse, via lawsuits and bankruptcy, of what was once (arguably) the premier circuit weekend in the world: One Mighty Weekend (OMW) in Orlando, Florida. It's my hope that people interested in this topic, be it for journalistic reasons or just plain curiousity, will find this blog a handy go-to resource for all the relevant legal documents associated with this monumental event.

As some of you may know, I've been chronicalling the legal downfall of OMW over on GayDays at Disney (GDAD), an excellent Facebook group devoted to covering the Gay Days Orlando parties, featuring "unfiltered discussion" and "no ties to any of the promoters." I'll continue to post there, but as Facebook is a bit cumbersome when it comes to uploading and featuring images, and I want people to see more of the actual legal documents, I thought it might be a good idea to run a roughly parallel blog here. Blogger is much more user friendly and asthetically pleasing for this sort of thing, IMO.

While I'll post (and comment on) new legal filings here as the occur, I'll also be posting my old Facebook posts here from time to time as well, backdating them (this "Introduction" was actually written on October 7, 2009, for example; I backdated it to June 1 so as to make it the first post) and probably adding images of the legal documents not seen before on the GDAD group.

The preliminaries out of the way...lets begin!

  2. Ha! You're right!! Not sure what that means tho...

    Two possibilities:

    1) Mark Baker and Johnny Chisholm are collaberating; or

    2) Johnny Chisholm is cybersquatting.

  3. ...or

    3) The sale of the domain name was included when Chisholm bought out Mark Baker.

    So, three possibilities.

  4. Why on Earth folks would Mark Baker ever want to be associated with Johnny Chisholm again?

    I can guarantee you that Mark Baker sold his company to Johnny Chisholm and it included the web domain. After the sale the domain was transferred and is listed under "OZ"

    Stop with that quacky speculation - Mark isn't going to be working with JC - that would be stupid.

  5. OK, I just finished posting and backdating all my old GDAD comments, all the way up to what my actual first post here was (One Mighty Bankruptcy).

    So, the narrative you see here is now complete to date; it's all forward from here on out.
