    I actually agree with most of what you said. There was a point on Saturday (I believe around 2 p.m.) when there was a line a few blocks long, but I guess it cleared up somewhat fast according to your observations. I've been telling people that professionally as an organization, the convention was kind of a wash: the panels were a joke, booths were empty, the staff was obnoxious, the location sucked, etc. But personally, I got a lot out of it. Because attendance was somewhat low, and because people were more interested in celebrities than comic creators, I got to talk to a lot of dudes that would have typically been modded at NYCC. So, it was cool for me personally, but Big Apple is doomed in 2010. It's doomed. All of the small business vendors will *not* choose Big Apple over NYCC, nor will they fork out the cash to set up shop in two places -- most are small operations that can't split efforts like that, anyway. It will be interesting, especially with the NYAF the same weekend.

    I could not agree more. Here are my thoughts on the second issue, as they appear on Comic News: http://comicnews.info/?p=9609
