Last year, (2009)… unfortunate events prevented N.I. productions from Attending the San Diego Comic Con. We were all set to once again brave the show floor in 2010… when suddenly a retarded thing happened…
COMIC CON IS SOLD OUT….
Yes… The San Diego Comic Con overlords, in their infinite wisdom(?) decided that Comic Con was getting too big, so they limited Pass Sales and capped them off… meaning that anyone who didn’t register on July 30th 2009… is Shit out of luck for this year.
DON’T BOOK YOUR TRIPS… cause you aint goin’ to the con.
And, you may ask WHY is Comic Con being limited… well, I have THE answer. The Overlords in San Diego REFUSE to move the Con to a larger location… even out of state… despite the fact that each and every year, more people attend, more exhibits get added and more exclusives get put up for sale.
This FLAT OUT SUCKS.It is a prime example of Stupidity! Sorry to say that, I really am, but it’s just stupid to limit ticket sales to an event like this… and it’s your fault, Convention presenters.
The San Diego Convention Center is Small… like WAY small. The entire con is Crammed into one room, with thousands of …shall we say, corpulent individuals, wedged into small spaces with GIANT Goody bags stapped to their backs.
Lets not even mention the hundreds of Baby Strollers, Giant Cosplay Accessories that take up more than half a person in size… and the down right IDIOTIC placement of booths and tables…
They simply need to take their heads out of their asses and MOVE THE DAMN CON TO A LARGER LOCATION… It keeps getting bigger, and there is no stopping it… sooner than later… the CON will have to Move.
They should just do it NOW… to get it over with. I am sure that people will respect a move. The Las Vegas Convention Center for instance… is HUGE and could EASILY host the Comic Con. Plenty of Hotel space… plenty of other things to do in town… the works. Las Vegas is also Not too far away from San Diego.
So you would have to change to name… BIG FREAKIN DEAL. Think about how much better everything would be. No Crammed lines… plenty of space for exhibits and tables… and lets not forget MORE ORGANIZATION with MORE SPACE!!!! The LVCC also has a much larger staff and there is NO DAMN TRAIN in front of the doors…
The LAS VEGAS Comic CON… I like the sound of that.
Too bad it will never happen….
