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.

What 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:
--- Quote ---“I think we're kind of expecting this show to be similar to our WonderCon show.”

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!

Thanks so much for posting this article. I was just thinking this morning that @Home was over and we really should be hearing some more news about the Thanksgiving con. It's good to hear that they are still planning on it!

i'm so glad to hear David equate it to WonderCon. This is spot on marketing imho.
gives me chills in anticipation :)
yeah, where to put this is tricky but that's been the story of the year LOL
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

I think as the date comes closer and there's more to chat about that the chatter will definitely 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.
