Was the WW NY show "real"

[G.A.tor]

not sure I have seen one report, outside of stumbling onto Mile High Chuck's new look

[rob_react]

Everyone was scared off by Chuck's tattoos and massive guns.

Merely a figment of our collective imagination.

It was at the Penn pavilion. What needs to be said other than climate issues, a peculiar smell and a possible "underwear over his pants" guy sighting.

I have it on good authority that a certain book is already there waiting for you

I know the show happened, had a few friends who went. From what I gather, most people skipped it because NYCC is this weekend. Very bad timing on WW's part.

about bloody time, it's been ages!

Just spoke to someone who was there. Not a lot of vintage comics there but the dealers that did show up did reasonably well.

Guy who works with me had a table, he didn't even make his overhead. Missed out on overtime that would have made more money than he did at the convention. I think WW made a grave error not seeing the writing on the wall, and changing the date when NYCC muscled in, even though WW was there first. The dealers who bought tables were stuck since they couldn't get a refund. WW should have been bigger and changed the date when it seemed inevitable that the NYCC was going to steal the show.

I thought NYCC was there first; they announced the October show in April '09.

 

If I recall correctly, Wizard initially wanted to go head to head on the same weekend and only rescheduled to this week when it looked like they were toast. I remember looking at the program last year at the pier and thinking, well, that's just dumb.

[Boba]

At least they had the sense to move it out of the pier (AKA the boondocks).

That place was all but uninhabitable. Like having a con on, well, a pier.

Typical Big Apple show for those who have been to them in the past

[Old Fashion PB and J]

The Big Apple show is generally small and not very exciting. But this was a horrible idea. Would have been a better idea next month instead.. Oh well

But...but... surely fans would rather attend a Wizard show, rather than some other gathering...

That's how I understood it as well.

Whatever. IMHO, they brought a knife to a gunfight when they went against NYCC.
