“I think we're kind of expecting this show to be similar to our WonderCon show.”
Not sure where to put this news re the unique, new/comic-soon CCI event coming Thanksgiving weekend 2021, Comic-Con Special Edition. Here's a great interview with CCI's David Glanzer, CCI's Chief Communications & Strategy Officer: You are not allowed to view links. Register or LoginWhat can we expect from this new event from CCI? No surprise we couldn't have already pieced together based off of what they'd said in the past (about it being "small" and likely mostly SoCA locals), but Glanzer had this to say: If you've never been, WonderCon is awesome: it mostly feels like what going to Comic-Con in 2000 felt like, with a great price-point. Who knows what panels and venders will look like, but even equating this to WonderCon (to be honest, I was expecting from the get-go for this to be approached as something even smaller than WonderCon, and maybe it'll end up that way after all) from a planning standpoint is exciting!
We do need a chat/general news thread for Special edition. I may move this into it's own area in a bit- if chatter will support it
Two points:1) Maybe it's just me, but I still don't see what the big deal is about having the show on Thanksgiving Weekend. I mean, so what? The Mid-Ohio Con held several shows over Turkey day weekend back in the 80's and 90's and I don't think anyone cared. I certainly don't remember anyone making an issue out of it. As far as leaving Grandma and Grampa, all I can tell you is I AM a Grandfather and I'm telling my grandkids to stuff their own dang turkey. 2) I wonder if we're going to have to show proof of vaccination to get in? That shouldn't be a problem for most of us.We shall see what we shall see.
At this point I would not hold a mini con in November and I would only focus on 2022. I feel we are far from out of the woods with this Delta variant and who’s to say we won’t get a variant worse than Delta?
Yeah, I think that it likely to get cancelled. I had a bad feeling when we reopened in June due to the lower vaccination rates, but had no idea that delta would blow up so bad.I'm ok if it gets cancelled if it means people will stay safe.
At the same time, they need to announce badge sales. NYCC (October) and ECCC (December) have already had badge sales.
