you'd the think the bay area would get more love from comic cons. more nerds with money per capita than anywhere else on the planet, and most of them are single and male. Image comics, Lucasfilm, Pixar are based there, not to mention facebook, google, apple, etc. Admittedly costs might be somewhat high...

SF gets love but the city government does not reciprocate. Moscone Center will not allow comic cons in their facility.

That's odd. I wonder why?

So SJ gets BigWow and WW? :ohnoez:
does not make up for the Bay Area losing Wondercon :(

 

agree, its not the same. for the inclined, note that San Jose is pretty far from SF if you're flying in and/or booking a hotel. Lets put it this way. If you think its ridiculous for the San Francisco 49ers to play in Santa Clara, San Jose is FARTHER.

Anybody go? Any decent comic book dealers?
I went later on Saturday. Greg Reece and Mike Carbo were the only big, non local guys there. Reece only brought 40 slabs and the rest of his material was raw SA/BA not on his website from his warehouse. Carbo had a Tec 35, Action 23, AF15, and Supe 2.
