I mean, WWTX has been holding their cons in November for at least four years. Seems to me that DCC could easily move their show and anticipate a larger turnout. I know that I didn't go to the DCC event due to expense. I was gonna drop some dollars at a con and I could only pick one, y'know? I heard good things about the Dallas show. Would like to check it out one of these days.

Better media guests -- Ron Glass (Firefly/Serenity), Maggie Grace (Lost), Amy Acker (Angel), Jack Lloyd (Phantom Menace) and some pretty good comic book guests -- Ethan Van Sciver, Steve Rude, Paul Gulacy, Ron Frenz, Mike Grell, Phil Noto, Todd Nauck, James O'Barr. It sucks that Wizard World Texas is crowding out a perfectly good locally-run event.
