Yes, September 2009 for real. #1 through #5 will be re-released also. Wolf and spice should also be out by the end of the year.

Absolutely nothing happened. In reality everything went as normal. Real people can confirm this. Do not listen to rumors / online innuendo. No, that is not yelling / shrieking you hear in the background.

Yes. Basically this is what happened. At the "last minute", Mr. Sparkles decided he wanted to host a small animal mascot meet-and-greet where the mascots could meet the fans and industry, sign autographs, take questions and all that. Not as any kind of fundraiser or charity event, but, "just because". Basically just your everyday, garden-variety panel.
Now this was kinda late notice, Ben was kinda iffy about pushing this through at the last minute until he saw the fan and industry response and some people who wanted in on it, ie. to be there, pressured him to push it through. It was really rushed, last-minute, so the only timeslot Ben could find for the panel where a large enough room was available happened to overlap with the industry/fansubbing panel. And when the industry execs who were considering attending that panel heard about the small animal meet and greet, they badly wanted to attend and suddenly that created a conflict in their schedule. I'm sure you can figure out the rest from there.
So honestly there is nothing there. It is not that they (Funi or anyone else) hates anyone. They'd just rather be somewhere else. Sorrey if it causes anyone troubles, but that's just the way things sometimes turn out. Bad luck, it happens.

Yes.
NOTE: Thanks for pointing this out to the pig. I'll look into it tonight.

The reason Vincent wasn't there (*) was b'cos he died a few months ago. Everyone was really sad, here is the memorial video that was made shortly after he died.

(*) The pig is refering to the 'small animal mascot meet and greet' panel at Otakon.
