I'm betting Texas will be on or near the leading edge of reopening. We'll have to see what happens in the next month. I just thought it was relevant news to those of us interested in FE Dallas.

Oh sure no worries I've been saying it may be too soon to reopen everything etc. But since Texas does seem confident..... is it early enough that it's just under 2 months until the con that it seems the con is still possible? Lol It's got the best chance, but we'll see how it goes... I might not show up unless cgc shows up, but looks like they were originally scheduled for onsite grading at heroes...... It's all idk Edited April 26, 2020 by ADAMANTIUM mysterio and The Commissioner 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Commissioner Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Every time a post is made in here, I always think that it is going to be a cancellation notice of Fan Expo As much as I would love to attend this show, I feel like mid-June is too early to start having large crowds of people gathering in one place. Fingers crossed that I'm wrong and everything will be fine! mysterio and ADAMANTIUM 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSGComics Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 To be honest I though about going down to FE Dallas, but at this point I am not sure if it is worth the risk. Granted I am coming down from the Kansas City area so I have a bit of a drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ADAMANTIUM Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 I would assume LCS are "sole proprietors", so they should be able to open back up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADAMANTIUM Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 @Kevin Boyd What was the purpose of the "survey" for the con that we all got? Does it help the con still happen? with Texas seemingly having no problems reopening so far, is this a good sign? Or just any word? that you're able?

Kevin Boyd Posted May 7, 2020 Author Share Posted May 7, 2020 (edited) I have heard that we'll know within the next two weeks if the show isn't happening, as that's the deadline for local authorities and the facility to make the call on whether or not it can be held safely. The call on MegaCon Orlando came in just within the last 24 hours. I found out about the survey from local collector friends who received it, I think it was to see if the public felt about it should the authorities say it can be held, with Texas reopening much of it's activities we needed to get a sense from the community directly about their interest in attending should it move forward.

Lol ya I hear you I had long hair as a teenager, but man would love a haircut Texas is reopening salons and barbers tomorrow, but I won't be first through the door Haha I'm waiting it out to see if the comic con is on schedule, but limiting exposure everywhere I can What will be a real tell for me is if cgc attends anything this year, but that even seems far fetched Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or would it take a couple of days? I'm sure we'll know as soon as you do I'm just trying to curb my enthusiasm hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were a betting man, I'd write them off this year. This is one of the hardest parts of these times for me. I'm one of those people who set dates and make plans. I am at the point where I just can't do it and it is frustrating. I had a bucket list trip booked to Egypt for April. Have always wanted to go there. Luckily, my wife talked me into travel insurance and we got our money back. I still plan to go but can no way make any plans right now...
