It's good to know that our stories get cut off after a set amount. I'll try to make shorter posts from now on. Here's the rest of my rant: Having a good time with my friends at the Renaissance Faire was a perfect cap to the weekend. And lest you read this and think I hated Austin Comic Con, I want to say that I didn’t. I know, I know. I just spent a thousand words talking about it’s shortcomings. But I really didn’t hate it. I think it’s going through growing pains right now. I see the potential for great things in it, but they have some bugs to work out. For one: please, please, please have more panels. And not just ones where the celebrities speak. I know that’s a huge draw for a lot of people, but not everyone. I would much rather hear the fans talk about their passions than the celebrities repeat a speech. If you do that (aim for 50 panels over the weekend) and if you up the quality of the artist’s alley and dealer’s room, then you’re set. Get the quality up and then you’ll bring people in by the bushel (Does that work? You know what I mean.). I’m looking forward to seeing Austin Comic Con next year and seeing how it’s grown. I really, truly believe it can only get better from here on.
