The someone could start a new Comic Con in SD that is more comics oriented. <br><br>I've been telling everyone I know that the Emerald City Comic Con in Seattle is great... it's pretty much the con that the SD con was about 10-15 years ago.Rickarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05730754739317666560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751429.post-69616420684918986102011-07-30T10:33:06.719-07:002011-07-30T10:33:06.719-07:00Yes , it was interesting to read this Mile High fe...Yes , it was interesting to read this Mile High fellow's take that there was never a real threat to getting the Con out of San Diego. <br>The Trickster may be the most obvious evolution. Split off the comic book fan from the Hollywood media fan. It's a "take back" move that doesn't rile anyone.MrGoodson2https://www.blogger.com/profile/02329640961760572269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751429.post-195785854815342542011-07-30T06:57:28.989-07:002011-07-30T06:57:28.989-07:00Interesting link, Ellis.

Heard a rumor when I was there in 2008 or 2009 the con was going to leave for Vegas because the Con had grown beyond San Diego's capacity to handle it. Sure seemed that way to me at the time, because it was a zoo then and I can only imagine it's gotten worse. I guess, according to the Mile High guy, it was just a lot of talk and nothing more.Surly Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03577852160598674926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751429.post-34954040716739131352011-07-28T21:43:04.627-07:002011-07-28T21:43:04.627-07:00My Bad.

If you continue to click "older" from that footbridge shot, you very soon encounter the beginning of his Anime Expo photography.<br>Any way. I'm grateful to the guy for all the Con shots. Got a real good look at the floor and exhibits through his eyes. He went nuts on the Sideshow Collectibles.MrGoodson2https://www.blogger.com/profile/02329640961760572269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751429.post-54807017863662666042011-07-28T18:56:41.688-07:002011-07-28T18:56:41.688-07:00I'm not sure if all of them are this way.
