Geek'd Con is happening this weekend at the Convention Center in downtown Shreveport and while guests will get to meet some of their favorite celebrities and artists, a few have had to cancel.

The talent unable to make it to Shreveport this weekend are:

• John Barrowman

• Damien Leone

• Shane Douglas & Francine

• Sabu

• Jason Baker

• Bob Lilly

Don't worry, there will still be plenty of celebrities, artists, local cosplayers and vendors that you will get to see and shop with at Geek'd Con Friday Aug. 18 - Sunday, Aug. 20.
