Nugget about Orlando was posted over at Rebelscum... Though it just says they're bidding for it, nothing else really.
But it gives possible dates...
Some thoughts:
-August in Orlando? Not exactly where I want to be, and that would probably be a big determining factor in whether or not I would even go. If I want hot, humid weather in the middle of August... I'll stay in Pittsburgh I think.
-Orlando? I know some think it's an ideal location, but I disagree. I'm not a fan of the "busy" atmosphere of Orlando... It's a major vacation destination for all the other crap there, and conventions just strike me as having to fight your way through everything else in Orlando to go to a show... I don't know. Nothing I'm really interested in doing.
Will people really enjoy going to Disney World (or any of the other junk down there) AND the show? I don't think many will, but maybe I'm wrong. I really would rather just go see a city that isn't necessarilly a tourist trap unto itself, and go for the convention and just enjoy the city while I'm there.
-I think I'm pretty well established that if it's not an easy enough drive, I won't go. Flying's a hastle these days, and I'd rather cruise out to Chicago (which isn't a short drive, but it's easier than Florida) than try to trek down South like that.
More power to those that want to go... If it were in Orlando though, I wouldn't view it much different than LA really, just a lot closer. I believe I'd pass on that, barring some astoundingly awesome news I couldn't resist seeing/attending.
