The Never-Ending, Four-Color Festival: Shows And Events
By Tom Spurgeon
* Davey Nieves has a write-up at The Beat on the Long Beach comics folks putting on a convention in New Jersey. The crowded NJ/NY calendar schedule is a microcosm of con expansion, with seemingly about a half-dozen legitimate efforts trying to find a foothold there. As it's also in late November, it's pushing back the year-end date for mainstream shows, but I imagine we'll have them mid-January to mid-December in two years. I have no idea what the endgame is here.
* Dan Vado's APE has announced another round of exhibitor space sales, an initial round of hotel rezzos and the framework of its outside-but-related programming here.
