California Comic Convention ( CalComicCon) 2018 6 6

[NoMan]

I enjoyed the previous show (2017) but missed this one due to trip to Houston. Looks liked fun, be there next year.

I couldn't attend this time around but I've been to all the others.  Terry does great job of putting on and promoting the show.  I think the current facilities are too small or limited to accommodate the crowds; the show attracts probably 5-10x more fans than it did in it's first few years.  If the room can be expanded or more rooms added then it's current location will be fine; if not then perhaps another location should be considered.

If people are serious about the Saturday thing and continuing it as a functioning part in connection with Terry's show the night before, I would be willing to take over the cost and pay for the entire room.  I'm not even sure I can make it next year (as I've never been able to get the timing right) but I'd be happy to provide this space for the people to trade etc. and it's frankly not a ridiculous cost to do it.  If there's enough interest, I'll coordinate with some local boardies and Terry to make it happen again next year.  Perhaps I'll even put some beer in the room for everyone.

Agreed and also that would make more nationwide dealers to come and setup.  With the positive word of mouth from other dealers who have been selling at this show, I definitely would like to see that happen if of course possible.  See you next year!

As a dealer at all his shows and a collector, I like it just the way it is. Being one day at end of January doesn't seem to hurt it. It draws more out of state (and country) buyers than I could count. Always has out of state dealers as well. If you can't find something in that room to buy, you are not a collector. Making it bigger or longer would take away sales for dealers. The first day would be great on a two day show and the second day would be a waste of time for me. The way it is, it's a "feeding frenzy" and that generates sales. A bigger show just means more compettition for dealers. It would become a problem to fill the room. It is easily the best show of any kind I do all year long. Don't change a thing Terry!

Thanks Terry! by any chance will there be the small pre show at the hotel conference room again? @TerrysComics

I tried to get the room for this event but it was booked, I spoke to another dealer, that said he may sponsor such an event at another location. T.
