So three or four more years and we get to go through the same pseudo-drama. Yay!
The Punisher: I’m going to cauterize your rectum, sealing it shut, so when you turn those delicious Pink Pants™ Fruit Pies into waste products the bilirubin in your feces will leach into your bloodstream and you’ll die screaming! And I’ll watch while having sex with this grateful prostitute!
Trussed-Up Hooker: Blueberry are my favorite!

Maybe next time someone won't get stabbed in the eye in the negotiating year.

We all have our gripes about the event having outgrown the venue, but I'm happy about this.
San Diego is an integral part of Comic-Con's character. Even if they found a better venue, it wouldn't be the same experience--at all. Plus, it would take decades for a new city to embrace Comic-Con like San Diego has.

I agree that it wouldn't be the same experience, but when did San Diego begin to embrace Comic Con? My big gripe is that the hotels way of embracing Comic Con is to jack their room rates up to the sky's the limit for comic fans. The reason San Diego was freaking out was because they finally understand the valuable cash cow the San Diego Con has become. Originally Posted by Uncle Nobs

If it didnt embrace it, it wouldnt have lasted 40 years. Originally Posted by Neanderthal

This 3 year extention will help sell the city on expanding the ConCenter, not only to keep SDCCI but attract other high profile conventions and create or expand current ones (the car show for example).Last edited by IamBATFAN; 10-01-2010 at 10:31 AM.

I remember that this year talk was that they wanted the city to make the Convention Center bigger . Since theres way more traffic than it can handle. And the convention can sell more tickets too.
In all not a bad plan if they are doing this. The revenue Comic-Con brings the city is big,"Heads up-- If Havok's position in UA #5 really upset you, it's time to drown yourself hobo piss. Seriously, do it. It's the only solution." - Rick Remender
