In the words of Jack Bauer, DAMNIT!

"Coming as a not entirely unexpected announcement, Wizard Conventions has confirmed that it will not hold a 2006 WizardWorld Boston."

Fooey. Was great meeting a lot of you folks last year.

Hopefully, I can see some of you in Chicago, and/or DragonCon.

IF it was canceled because of attendance, there was a freaking RED SOX/YANKEES series at FENWAY! The show didn't have a chance!

And, for being so close to New York, the programming was pretty lacking.

Alot of vendors didn't help themselves with their ridiculous pricing.

Pov is right on the mark.

Programming sucked. There were a few okay vendors, but only one that had any decent prices that I would seek out again.

Only the presence of 13 LWers made it worthwhile!

This is, as they say, the suck.

Mind you, Pov and Kent are right on the money about the con proper. Though, had the Wizard name not been attached to it, I wonder if expectations would have been different.

I have to wonder if maybe Wizard just didn't overextend themselves a bit.

How many people would show up from Legion World if the convention had been held in Australia rather than in some other populated area in the 'States?

Hmmm...that's a toughie, all right.. shocked But I hope you could see what I was driving at - It would have been a buzz to meet up with somebody from Legion World, shoot the breeze on all things Legion or some other magazine...

'Twould be a pity if that never came to pass... sigh
