Which weekend in Nov for the unNamed CCI convention?
« on: March 03, 2021, 08:29:24 PM »
Folks can change their votes

I've opened the poll up to guests also. In other words, folks don't have to be members to vote in the poll.

I've heard people say there's another convention the week of the 19. Does anyone know what that is ? I'll add it to the poll

11/20-11/21 also has "The Fit Expo San Diego" and the "Epic Series Obstacle Challenge" at SDCC.

Thx for that
After the devastation of Covid on the Gaslamp, i can see folks being happy for a large event on Turkey weekend.

oddly enough, i could even see this being an annual event. In the same way WonderCon or SD Comic Fest is

As per usual I will be entering my vote 1 hour after the date is officially announced.

Ok, I misunderstood what we were voting for.

Can anyone describe how booked up the hotels get over the Thanksgiving weekend?  I could see this as an alternative casual con for us at FoCC.

from what i've heard, it's usually not a busy weekend downtown yet folks have notices extremely high rates. Which has led to speculation CCI has reserved a block of rooms already. This is ALL speculation on people part!!
Apparently, most moderately priced hotels are booked already. I have not personally checked this due to living in SD.

The high rates could be because of another holiday event that weekend, or simply because of the speculation.

I'm still pulling for the weekend before Thanksgiving. It would be such a hassle to try to do a mini con and family stuff.

I think most of us would prefer that weekend. But then, most of us also prefer WonderCon to NOT be over Easter... and much of the time, it is.

Originally, I was thinking it would be Nov 19 weekend but now I'm thinking it will be Nov 26 weekend. Might suck for a lot of people(like me) who are planning on traveling for Thanksgiving to be with family.

Ok.  I just changed my vote again to the weekend before Thanksgiving!
