Yeah, so unless something went terribly wrong, we should be in San Francisco, for WonderCon right about now.
WonderCon is the 2nd largest show that we do annually, with about 39,000 attendees.
The recent lockdown of San Diego Comic-con (it's grown to full capacity in San Diego the last few years) has meant that other neighboring shows (like WonderCon) are picking up some of that demand. Phoenix Comicon is another one that is likely benefiting from SDCC's position, demonstrated by it's explosive growth the past couple of years.
In a lot of ways, I think that is a good thing.
SDCC is awesome, don't get me wrong, but it's not the only Con experience out there. I've met countless folks that have had a "if it's not SDCC then it sucks" attitude, which is too bad. Just because a show is smaller, doesn't mean that a great time can't be had.
Now, more people can meet a larger variety of artists, have some geek adventure... often quite a bit cheaper than SDCC.
