Continues to be a fun show.  Bigger crowds than last year and the show has the vibe of people are going there to have fun and be geeks without the stress of the bigger shows.  As an example, there was one vendor there selling comics in bulk for $4 per pound like lunchmeat.  :)  That comes out to ~50 cents per book for those of you wondering.  Lots of cosplay at this show.

It is still a good show for the comic collector, but from what I could tell they had more floorspace, but fewer comic booths.  Last year, I wasn’t able to shop all of the booths in a single day while this year I had gone through all of them in just over half a day.  They also didn’t seem to have as many bargain bins as last year.  That being said, there was still plenty to buy and look at.  And again, they had a huge artists alley.

Counting the number of boothspaces, I believe that this show is about 1/3 the size of Wondercon in Anaheim so it’s pretty big.   No doubt in my mind that I will be going again next year.

Few pics from the show, spent the day enjoying the costume parade and a little bit of shopping. Had a great time, will be back next year. One day was enough, though didn't miss out on seeing it all in one day.
