Unconventional logic
Don: I don't know if the Manchester U-T put this on their pages because of the shenanigans going on at the convention center, or because the U-T knows that the convention center board (and many convention groups) don't want a non-contiguous expansion. Of course, the fact that the expansion is not needed at all is apparently irrelevant.— August 11, 2014 8:11 p.m.
Unconventional logic
And so the insanity begins. Again.— August 11, 2014 7:39 p.m.

Oh, Hyphen Man, where are you?
I thought Street Scene moved because downtown out-grew Street Scene--parking lots were disappearing that they had previously used for stage sites.— August 9, 2014 7:25 p.m.
Oh, Hyphen Man, where are you?
Don: After being in Las Vegas 2 weeks ago, it appears that there is a version of ComicCon every day and night both on The Strip and Downtown. Lots of people dressed up in costume looking for whatever they can get.— August 9, 2014 4:06 p.m.
Oh, Hyphen Man, where are you?
Didn't know there was one there already, but I'm not surprised. I agree they should raise ticket prices, and even though it makes sense to raise rental rates on the convention center as well, as long as the expansion is delayed, the rates will either stay the same or decrease even more. I believe the rental fee has already been agreed upon at $150,000 through 2016. As you say, Anaheim is available. Since Vegas is out, I would say then that Anaheim will be ComicCon's home starting in 2017.— August 8, 2014 11:16 p.m.
Oh, Hyphen Man, where are you?
120,000 people at SLC Comic Con over 3 days in a slightly larger convention center (679,000 sq ft vs 615,700 sq ft) than San Diego's 120,000 over 4 days in a terribly overcrowded (allegedly) facility. If San Diego's ComicCon does move, it would be a loss of varying importance (depending on who you talk to), but there appears to be many places available to move in the vicinity. I think they will end up in Las Vegas.— August 8, 2014 7:49 p.m.
Jack jumps
If I read another story correctly, the vast majority of the sales increase was thanks to the Qdoba fast-casual restaurant chain they own.— August 7, 2014 6:19 p.m.

NY Times pooh-poohs Comic-Con spending
And today comes the response from a panel of judges saying the tax to expand the convention center is illegal, per the Manchester U-T.— August 1, 2014 4:40 p.m.
