Still waiting on New Jersey

They are going to have to really up their game to have 15 shows in 11 months.

I know there are already a few people in Minneapolis upset with the "predatory scheduling" with an established con there.

I guess a dealer could theoretically be strictly a Wizard World dealer. That's what they are hoping at least as they give discounts for multiple shows.

Some of the small markets are puzzling choices.
