Mark Evanier on CCI: Las Vegas

The writer and Comic-Con International fixture Mark Evanier takes a sledgehammer to a recent suggestion that the nation's largest comics-related convention should end up in Las Vegas. A few of the arguments are more assertion than analysis and some are of the "you can have one or the other" variety: if you get to cite the crappy summer weather, you can't apply prime-time dead of winter complications elsewhere. Still, I wouldn't want to bet the tab on winning the opposite point over dinner. I'd probably end up paying the tip and parking, too.

I think the key comes down to whether or not the San Diego version continues to grow at a furious rate, because if the quirky, then tricky, and presently difficult housing situation becomes impossible -- a few hotels sold out for this year in August 2006 -- a lot of other arguments shrivel in importance.
