Well, another Comic Con has come and gone. I'll have more to say about it later as I take a break from politics to talk about industry gunk.
As for comic con....I tell ya....for all of its goofyness, for all of its gawdyness..all of its grand over colored oddness...I cant tell you how much I love these things. Comic con is an amazing event.
Growing larger and larger every year.
If I were to have any sort of 'worry', its that it might be getting too big for its venue. And if the rumors hold true..it could stop being a "san diego" comic con and find its way to Las Vegas where the venues are much bigger and would accomidate the throngs much easier.
Now there are obvious benifits to it being held in Vegas outside of the larger venue. The night life, the FUN of Vegas,
But there are drawbacks.
1) While Vegas might have a lot of fun to it. Dealers that would be going to actually SELL stuff would find themselves fighting with the casinos and nightlife to make their sales.
The con attendance itself would suffer as well due to this.
2) The "FUN" of Vegas is very different than the "FUN" of ComicCon.
In otherwords...Vegas can be a very seedy place. So..you would have much less of a younger crowd going. Now I know that to some THAT would be a good thing.
I disagree.
I like that the very young are getting involved in comic con. But thats just me. A non narcissist.
3) The end of a loooong San Diego Tradition. That would be a very sad thing.
I don't know....I do know that it can't continue for too much longer at this rate though. So till that day comes when comic con does indeed relocate....ENJOY THE MADNESS WHILE YA CAN.
More soon....(don't miss it >:)
