Both are the kind of cons Mid-Ohio used to be: comfortable and creator-friendly, with the emphasis on comic books, not tattoos, fetish wear and porn stars.Michael N.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14313953071196776990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3164453577235337628.post-83638933759579588722011-10-25T11:20:52.009-07:002011-10-25T11:20:52.009-07:00Wow.

If local business doesn't come to Mid-Ohio, that's reason less to attend. Bargain hunting is part of the con experience.<br /><br />Like you, I don't go to comic cons to meet TV actors and movie celbrities. Last Year's Chicago Con seemed to be litle else and was (with the exception of meeting Bill Tucci) a complete disapointment for me.<br /><br />I don't want to see the show closed down, but I don't want what you described, either. Here's hoping for some change come 2012.Jonathon Riddlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00038691059921187397noreply@blogger.com
