Hmm.... saw report here: http://www.ktla.com/news/landing/ktla-c ... 4198.story I hate the fact that the report does not mention how far north they are looking but I googled and seen Anaheim Convention Center as a possible new location. I've also heard Vegas. I would love to have the Con closer to us here. As long as it stays in the general SoCal area. Thoughts? |

i like San Diego. moving it to LA would be good as I could save hotel. moving it to Vegas would suck cause Vegas is for losers. |

LA good for hotels because I wouldn't have to book one. LOL If it stays in San Diego it's OK too as it's a nice town to visit and we have friends there. Las Vegas would be more costly and would be cluttered with all sorts of distractions, slot machines, alcohol etc etc. |

i like it in san diego for obvious reasons. but i also think san diego is a nice place for people to visit. having the convention center around the gaslamp and downtown area is a plus too. and whenever i think comic con, i think san diego. would be hard to think of it another way. |

I've been to Anaheim Convention Center back in the old days when Nate and I used to go to Anime Expo but I distinctly remember that the first time I went to SDCC my impression was that it was a bigger venue. Unless there's been changes to Anaheim I am not aware of and forget LACC. I would not be comfortable walking around at night as we do in SD with all our bags of goodies unless I got a weapon on me. ::brandishes yaoi paddle:: |

I'd prefer Vegas because I have family aka a free place to stay there. I like some food in SD but have no overall hate or love for it. If the convention hall is bigger where ever they plan to move it than I think it's a good idea no matter what. |

I've only drove past the Anaheim Convention Center, but SD seems much bigger. Also isn't SD planning to expand in the next couple of years? |

It just wouldn't be the same anywhere else. |

Lots of really great clubs, galleries, coffee houses, and good places to eat. |

The first time I went (4 years ago) was packed, but 2008 was just ridiculous, due to the massive press surrounding movies like Iron Man et al. I'm into the toy aspect, but I also like to see panels, presentations, etc. rather than spending all my time on the floor. Last time was the end for me until they can move it to a more manageable venue (or venues). Especially if I'm flying 3/4 of the way across the country and paying ridiculously inflated hotel prices. |

I've never been, but from what I understand isn't sdcc just a big crowded corporate clusterfuck now? Just move it out to sea and let it sink under its own weight then start a new convention.... And the obvious local for the new Con should be Philadelphia.  phil |

I love San Diego (athough anywhere with sun will do for me) but it is an entire downtown clusterfuck . . . so many people in such a confined environment is mayhem. The infrastructure must be pretty close to breaking point . . . I'm kinda surprised it hasn't had a meltdown yet! Luckily comic and toy geeks aren't the most aggressive species on the planet so it's all pretty mellow. LA or Vegas would be cool for a change though and I might actually get a tour of the Muton toy museum! . . .
