More bidding and cajoling is going on in the tug o' war on the future locale of the Comic-Con International. Will it remain, as God and Shel Dorf intended it, in the city of San Diego? Or will it up and move to someplace like Anaheim where it can get bigger right away? San Diego is expanding its convention facilities but it will be several years before they can provide as much space as Anaheim.
Here's the latest, which involves San Diego offering $100,000 a year for the next five years to keep the con right where it is. Much of that moola would go towards increasing the con's shuttle system since the current proposals would also increase the number of hotels that would be directly housing convention attendees.
The con is contracted to be in San Diego for 2011 and 2012. Looming is the decision as to whether it will move after that. A decision is expected in the next three weeks and I still think it'll be to stay put.
