Not surprising, given that their headquarters are in Seattle. But it's nice to have official confirmation!

Wow, late September! That's a big move away from their traditional Labor Day sale.

So I went to check the ECCC site this morning (I always look at their news page) and it was gone. The entire website has been completely revamped, and the news page no longer exists. Instead, they seem to be pushing everyone to sign up for an email newsletter, or connect on other social media. I  guess this means that the Tumblr site just shot up in importance!

It looks like a classic Reed Pop interface now.

Yay, tickets go on sale on a day when I am not at work! I'll be able to snag them the moment they go on sale. Phew!

I have to say that I am disappointed in the VIP packages. I keep hoping they'll bring back the VIP package with reserved seating at the main stage, but no dice. Sigh...

Does anyone want to meet up for lunch on Thursday? Since the con won't have started yet, it might be a good time for a meetup.

Hotel info will be released on September 23, the day tickets go on sale. Historically, once you have purchased tickets, you have been presented with a link to book your hotel. We'll see if that happens again this year, now that ReedPop is involved.

I'm leaning towards this show instead of WonderCon, especially since they moved to Los Angeles. The quality of guests and artists are 10-fold better than WonderCon's.

I purchased a pass last year for ECCC, but since WrestleMania was on the weekend, I ended up selling it.

The show is definitely comparable in size to WonderCon. The main differences are:

 - ECCC has far more of a comics bent, and a much larger Artists' Alley
 - WonderCon has more of a 'Hollywood' bent, and you're likely to see a few shows or movies that have panels (at ECCC, it is mostly Q&A with single actors)
 - ECCC has more in terms of nightlife and 'after hours' events/activities going on. WonderCon only has gaming and the Masquerade
 - More cosplay at ECCC, and more of an emphasis on cosplay panels
 - More emphasis on writing and authors at ECCC
 - ECCC dedicates a fair amount of time and space to paid autographs/photo ops, which gives the con a bit more of a 'money grab' feel
