Comic Con Talk (Renamed since LA Comic Con can't get it together)

So the craziness with LCC now behind us, AVC's show in Birmingham is pretty stacked. They have Sting (who was also in the Jackson show), Dr. Britt Baker (DMD) (met her at Comicpalooza), and John Barrowman (this dude is a hoot at cons). How is it all of these other sites be knocking it out of the park with guests, but we get Ryan Hurst and the woman from Hocus Pocus?

Has Louisiana become cursed with them? It seems AVC has had sour grapes since Geek'd Con chased them away from Shreveport.
