I quit going mostly because of the crowds. It is nearly impossible to go thru the dealers room if you have to go to the other side if you do not go

outside to walk around the whole thing. Sardines in a tin have more space.

I have no idea where the exclusive stuff would be since the only times I did the show [almost all from 1976-05] I was there as a dealer, not a fan.

One thing I find funny. There are about the same amount of comic & comic art dealers set up there now, as there was in 1976. It's all the Hollywood stuff that is the difference.

You know Anaheim is bidding on it for a couple of years down the road? Larger convention center planned, and more hotel space. -- nm - MojaveMeg Jul 23, 14:52 5

  - nope. One of the bloggers I follow (Heidi Macdonald) said that San Diego told the security companies to send their best people to work....unlike last - Remlik Jul 23, 15:08
