When did Indiana become "N. Eastern?" I think 12 hours driving time off the East Coast discounts that statement.
From what the guys in the press room said, one day badges sold out for Friday, Saturday and Sunday but they didn't have final show numbers at that time.
As for CV and CVI, we heard rumors when CIV was announced that the LACC was the go-to place for the next 3 conventions so that's not entirely new news. However, according to one person I talked to, GenCon has not officially signed on for the next two shows yet. But I think that they did a good enough job this time around to get them that contract.
Unless something drastic changes with my finances, I'll never go to LA again for a Celebration. It cost me double what Indiana did and only being 2 years out, it was just barely enough time to save up the cash for it. I'm even skipping the PSWCS Summer Social this year because it's too close to CIV and I just can't afford it...plus Wizard World Philly is the following week and I already have my ticket for that.
