I regret I didn't get a chance to meet you in person; I had to rush back to man (well, bull) our booth. The “Writing About Comics” panel was great, Heidi, and thanks so much for the shout-out.

Or maybe the Superdome? not to be evil, but I wonder what it would take to start a riot... SDCCI, having reached capacity, needs to raise prices, limit the single day tickets to same day and day before registration (to better handle overcrowding), and offer free events offsite for the general local curious public. (family events, such as art worshops for younger children, character appearances, bookstore and library signings, gallery exhibits...) capacity should be around 75,000, not counting professionals, retailers, industry, librarians, etc. And since this is a nonprofit organization, they can use the extra revenues for outreach and scholarships.
