SDCC 2017

OK, I've had people complaing about me not doing con reports.  I stopped doing them partly out of laziness, partly because I don't think they'd be that interesting, and partly because I really wasn't getting any comments, and don't particularly feel like investing a couple hours into a report that gets zero feedback

Wow, it has been a long time since I attended.

I attended Wondercon annually when it was in Oakland and San Francisco. Oakland's venue at the Hyatt Hotel and Henry Kaiser convention center was big and roomy when the focus was just comics and a few artists. The San Francisco venue was at Moscone Center and more decidedly crowded with more cosplayers and name movie actors and production people showing up. The Moscone venue was too small and Wondercon moved to Anaheim with no plans to come back to the Bay Area. I go for the comics art and dvds of tv shows and animation not officially licensed yet. No plans to commute to SoCal for a con only.

Not a fan of heavy crowds, particularly when a group holds a long conversation in the middle of the aisles and not keeping things moving.

Really miss the 90's when I could drop $2000 a weekend (half for a nice Hotel, and Half on goodies). Still miss the con even with the crowds and the size. Yes the panel lines are ridiculous, now, and it's grown to encompass the whole gaslight district, but I still love the scene.

I read your con reports.
I just don't have anything to comment about.
