In person Vidcon 2021 in Anaheim scheduled for the end of October 2021 has been canceled due to covid.  The last Vidcon in 2019 had 75,000 attendees.

This does not bode well for Turkey-con.

I love the name Turkey Con.

I would imagine Death Con would be the Hunger Games Con.  :)

Fauci is now predicting that covid could be under control by Spring 2022 if an overwhelming majority of the population gets vaccinated.  That's a big if.  I don't see there being large conventions, at least in California, before covid is "under control".

The NRA canceled their annual get together due to covid.  Considering their demographic, that's a notable move.

Their announcement about the opening of the Comic-Con Museum stated that it would coincide with the Special Edition, so it sounds like they still intend to hold it.

Excited both by the confirmation of the museum's pending (partial) opening in November, as well as confirmation that CCSE is still being planned!

And, depending on the results of the recall election, they could follow NYCC's lead and require proof of vaccination.

I wonder if the member id system can handle uploads of images (the vax'ed card)

Uhoh. An event downtown the week before Special Edition has just cancelled.

"San Diego's waterfront music festival, Wonderfront, which premiered along the Embarcadero in 2019 only to be delayed in 2020 by the pandemic, has now been canceled for the second year in a row.

The organizing team behind San Diego's Wonderfront Music & Arts Festival announced Thursday that it would push back the festival, originally slated for late fall of this year, until November 18-20, 2022."

Previously Fauci predicted things would be under control by Winter 2022, then came Delta.

To be fair, also came idiots who refused the vaccine/disavowed science

Since they haven't announced tickets, cases are rising, and the airfare at that time is high I don't think I am still planning to attend.
