    Gosh, even as a resident of Chicago I don't think I could be bothered by this.

    welcome to the abysmal world of Chicago planning. there's no friggin' way we'll be able to pull the Olympics off. i know there's no chance in hell, but i'd like the IOC to have seen this on their tour. however, the snowstorm in April may be enough to deter them from selecting us...

    hmm.. feels like a blog post coming on.

    That's nothing. I once paid $80 for a game of Mario Kart (as in one game) at a school fair.


    Granted, it was Jamaican money circa 2000, but still.

    @goboard117: It's the perspective. It's only small because it's far away. And its only far away because:


    A) The sight of an Xbox 360 makes Wii/PS3 owners cry in agony over their horrible mistake.


    B) The heat given off by an Xbox 360 while playing a game is detrimental to someone's health.

    hooray! hopefully this will be more entertainment than comic. i would like to see who all we can attract. and i sure hope "reflecting the essence of Chicago" doesn't mean cutting and pasting tired clichés into press releases.

    Robomodo, the makers of the new Tony Hawk game (although no one will confirm it, for God knows what reason) are also here.


    BTW, the Lakeside center is the older Mac, but it should be a decent size. As stated above, Wizard World does keep it pretty proper to dead tree comics, so we'll see if this just turns into a geekcon the way that San Diego has and New York looks to be shaping up to be.


    Of course, by 2010, [www.dawdle.com] will probably either be in LA or NYC.

    Umm... Chicago has a comic book convention: Wizard World. Maybe it's consistent and myopic focus on actual comic books made it less noticeable to the outside world. But I welcome more conventions to the city.

    Truth! Jim Lee bought me a shot of Patron and I told Brian Michael Bendis that he writes better black people than Brian Azzarello.


    I love Wizard World.


    We've also got a HUGE anime convention, Anime Central, every year. We've been geeking it out hard over here in the City of Wind for awhile now.

    @darkkn1te: @darkkn1te: I don't like this. Wizard World has been getting good again in the past year or two, and I don't want a schism to happen. I'm going to end up paying attendance for twice the amount of conventions now just to get the same amount out of it.

    @cr0m300: I've been to Wizard World for the last 4 years (my g/f publishes and sells there) and it has been, to me anyway, getting consistently worse and worse. The "collectible" vendors have gotten more samey, the crowds have gotten more whitebread, the beer has been getting more expensive, and the guests are more of the "3rd ewok from the right in scene 7" variety than anything else (Warren Ellis was a pleasant surprise last year, but he and veronica mars are the exceptions that prove the rule).


    I think that cracking down on bootlegs and boothbabes has taken everything not corporate out of the festival. I don't pretend that a convention held at McCormick will necessarily fix anything, but at least it has hope.

    I love Chicago. Saw them play here (in Chicago, where else?) a few months back.


    The more I think about it the more it would be kinda cool to have this game. You could ACTUALLY learn to play the real thing! ;)
