  1. I was going to mention this in the other threads about *comic convention burn out* and in the *Diamond Digital* article. I was going to point out that the convention scene will change and settle into its own beast (like the other sci-fi shows around the country), OR… it could expand and increase awareness in other venues like SXSW.

    Then lo’ and behold… I see this article. Hah!
