So perhaps it's time for WorldCon to start thinking of a single location? Like BEA did for a while in Chicago (which was awesome) before they started caving and moving it all over the place and thusly screwing things up.
Didn't Comic-Con used to mail pro-reg? i seem to remember that. I never had to stand in the pro line; I always got extra exhibitor badges for my staff and volunteers, even if it cost more. There's never a line for exhibitor badges, and we could have them sent to our hotel room.
But Comic-Con is going to have a problem soon; they had to cap their attendees for the first time last year. I think they've opened all the halls already too, so God only knows where they're going to get more space. There was talk of moving it but I can't imagine any place big enough to hold it at this point, except possibly McCormick Center in Chicago...but moving it would cos a drop in registration.
What does it cost to get into ReaderCon these days?
