TheWatcher Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 I think these dates will work better for most people. Little chance of it interfering with kids going back to school Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little chance of it interfering with kids going back to school Now I'm hearing that the dates are changing to August 23-26, which would put us in the same boat as this year's less that stellar dates. They put the 16-19 dates in every daily update to the dealers, so who knows. I guess we will see what they put on the website if/when they publish the 2018 schedule.

Psychic said the half retail booth is 10' across x 5' deep thus only slendor vendors may apply, and no room for greggy to nap behind. Edited August 28, 2017 by aardvark88 sp.

Thanks for the info. Not a bad deal if you can pack 20 long boxes of good stuff into the booth and clear out some books for $650. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mysterio Posted August 30, 2017 Author Share Posted August 30, 2017 Queries by me and others on Wizard's FB page are being ignored. Starting to wonder if the 2018 Wizard schedule is stored on the Flying Dutchman for future delivery by Bigfoot riding Nessie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mysterio Posted August 30, 2017 Author Share Posted August 30, 2017 Now Wizard has responded on FB, but only to say the blue list I posted above, THAT THEY CIRCULATED LIKE 5 DAYS AGO, is inaccurate. No other details offered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mysterio Posted August 30, 2017 Author Share Posted August 30, 2017 (edited) Not sure what shows/dates on that list they circulated are inaccurate. Could be one, could be all. Edited August 31, 2017 by mysterio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhymenoceros Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 (edited) Why the hell are they coming back to Des Moines next year?!?!?! From what I heard they were literally GIVING AWAY booths to the local comic shops this year because no one was signing up.

They must think that this smaller market plan is their path to salvation and profitability, as they're doubling down on it with Peoria, IL; Springfield, MO; Biloxi; etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
