I guess he tried to post it on SLCC's Facebook page to give them feedback and they deleted it. Which is weird, because it's not all that negative and he said he would attend again.
Yes, bunyon treatment, and dentists, credit unions, Comcast, tele-marketing companies, credit card companies, several local TV stations, newspapers, etc... giving parts of it a disjointed trashy swap meet feel, all that was missing was the Slap Chop and Sham-wow booth.
I have heard the same thing about Comikaze. I have never been so I can't confirm.
I will have to agree to disagree with you here also. If it’s not about the name, then they have no case requesting they change their name. The request is clear: that SLCC immediately discontinues using any variation of “Comic Con,” removes it completely from their website, and hands over their current domain name (saltlakecomiccon.com) to CCI. The bulk of the C&D appears to be them being upset at SLCC driving its car around San Diego. They didn’t like SLCC’s brand of Maverick advertising, but don’t have any legal recourse, because, driving a car with your show’s name on it on public roads is not illegal. They’d probably have a case if SLCC was doing an unauthorized form of advertising inside the convention center during SDCC, but saying “you drove your car around San Diego; therefore you cannot use any variation of Comic Con” is, in my opinion an extremely weak, even illogical argument. (Not to mention, I want to know who exactly assumed that just because they saw the car in San Diego automatically assumed that it was owned by CCI. It seems like a silly assumption.)There are people who automatically assume that everything called “Comic Con” is run by the same organization, but once they find out that there are different people that put on different comic cons, they accept it easily. I don’t see a car swaying someone’s opinion, before or after.
