The date announcement seems to be going....poorly so maybe it'll mean a much more scaled down experience with much fewer people.

It's actually mostly not a pandemic thing directly, it's the Thanksgiving part. A lot of them expect Thanksgiving to be the first family holiday they can get together again. Plus Thanksgiving is expensive as hell to travel.

Yeah, Sac Anime is a little different because they're shutting down an active vaccination site to hold that. The SDCC blowback is definitely over the fact that it's Thanksgiving which, while not great, is as good a date as any but for some reason people want to see their families. Stupid families.

It also ties the hands of vendors and stuff because they prioritize returns, so if they skip this one that's back of the line.

Honestly, I'm real interested in seeing how this goes if for no other reason, I think the rona killed megacons. There's no way they can pack people in as tightly so they're gonna absolutely have to scale down and on top of that, I wouldn't doubt if there's serious price increases. Not the normal like $10-20 increase we've seen year over year at SDCC but like $100 or so to cover costs. On top of that, I'm sure a lot of geeks developed at least some agoraphobia. Mix all that together and I'm curious who can survive.
