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

Grandadmiral said

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.

I think a lot of it has to do with them being the only show (of that size) in town in places like Alabama and Arkansas and Mississippi whereas they have a direct competitor in Louisiana in the form of Geek'd Con. A competitor that has frankly had much better guests recently. I know some people who would know who've said there is definetly bad blood between the two after LA Comic Con tried too move back into Shreveport several years back, and the people behind Geekd still hold a grudge. It wouldn't shock me if Geekd Con tries to flex some muscle with guest contracts and the like.
