Lobsterman Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 I see someone's already started the begging thread, so I thought I'd tackle the meetup one. Dinner? Drinks? Lunch after the Minimates panel? Flash mob at the DST booth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shanester Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 I am 99% sure I will not be going. Bad year for me with a new baby. I think I'm going to shift my annual trip to either NYCC or C2E2 instead of San Diego. Its just gotten to be such a hassle to find an affordable room. Feel free to use the forums to organize.

Lobsterman Posted May 23, 2012 Author Share Posted May 23, 2012 Dang, man, it seems like only the bandwagon-hoppers are going to SDCC anymore, and the hipsters and cool kids are heading to the East Coast conventions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b00sted Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 I have never been to a convention but usually drool over the pics online, I should really someday look into going to one of the east cost ones.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanester Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Dang, man, it seems like only the bandwagon-hoppers are going to SDCC anymore, and the hipsters and cool kids are heading to the East Coast conventions. I think I did four SDCC trips. It was fun at first but became the same ole thing. San Diego is a beautiful town, but I like Chicago and New York, so time for some new scenery.

boyd Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Went to C2E2 for the first time this year, and had a good time. It doesn't have the sheer awesome spectacle of San Diego, but it did have manageable crowds and some pretty cool stuff to attend and see. Great Artist Alley this year - spent a lot of time talking to Chris Burnham and Katie Cook. And you've got downtown Chicago just a few blocks away.

hellpop Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 I went to San Diego one year and that was probably enough. It's a shame that it's become so overrun by all the Hollywood crap that comics have become secondary. I'll probably be in New York this year, though, although in all honesty I'm so down on comics right now it's going to be tough to really get my enthusiasm up. We'd better get some good Minimate exclusives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MinnesotaIceman Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 I have never been to a convention but usually drool over the pics online, I should really someday look into going to one of the east cost ones.. I've never been to one, either. Large crowds make me very uncomfortable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hav Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Is there a MiniCon? Or something of that effect? Can't there be a minimate con set up somewhere in mid U.S. so everyOne can meet up and trade pokemates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 I think I did four SDCC trips. It was fun at first but became the same ole thing. San Diego is a beautiful town, but I like Chicago and New York, so time for some new scenery. San Diego is a beautiful town & for that very reason,oddly enough,is why it'll be unlikely that I'll be going to SDCC in the near future. Don't understand ? I'd like to go to San Diego again just to see the place properly rather than be swept up in the fury that is Comic Con. I'ts unlikely that my better half would be enthralled with the Con especially as she's heard me going on about it for the last few years,she would however adore the town . Chicago looks to be the best bet for me (us?)whilst I would love to go back to New York City. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 One of the reasons that San Diego became a big con (for years, that and Chicago were THE two cons, then Wizard bought Chicago and it dropped back) is because of the town. A lot of creators would build a family vacation around the con, so it became a big destination spot for everybody. And, of course, when you have great lineups, you have more fans wanting to go.

Shanester Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Rob, I'll be in SD somewhere around October to November 2013. I have a few meetings there and yes they plan these things that far ahead. Its a great time to be in SD. I have been to some be non-comic related shows in Chicago and they really know how to keep your attention. Attending C2E2 has really peaked my interest since I always avoided Wizard shows and therefore avoided Chicago. New York (like Chicago) is another place that is big enough that most of the city pays no attention to a comic show and you can find a room without selling a kidney. I cantake my wife and she can find some fun (probably shoe shopping) while I go geek out. You folks that do attend SDCC should really meet up. Its a fun thing to do. I've made several friends that I hope to keep, after meeting up with them at the cons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSpiderX Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 I'll be there with some non-minimate buddies. I'm sure I could convince them to come hang out with some fellow MMV'ers if we set something up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
