I totally forgot about this actually. We'll probably get some more info, hopefully by early next year. My fingers are crossed.

Maybe KoP can back me up on this, but I recall it was said at a collector's club panel that San Francisco had horrible numbers and because of it they weren't willing to risk another West Coast trip and have the same result when the east and midwest had a history of big turnouts. This is a vague recollection from like four or five years back so I may be off on this.

naw.. thats true....
so far the east coast Cons have had a larger turnouts that the west coast ones.. Ive only been to 6 joecons, btu I do remember the largest was kasnas city, just after the joe movie... but the smallest was the Frisco, Texas con. the San fran con.. was just bat timing. it was low turnout combined with Berklee anti war protests. This is not necessarily true. As someone who went... The SFO con did not have bad attendance, it was the dealers who did not show up in force. Attendance-wise, it was year #2 for a 3.75" set. Small Joe collectors started showing up in better numbers than Norfolk, but the 12" collectors out numbered us that year. It is the smallest show I have been too, but the Joe momentum at the time was slow and other than new toys and Devil's Due, there was nothing going on like there is today (toys, comics, cartoon, movie, licensing, etc). Also, the protests had more to do with President Bush making a visit the same weekend at a neighboring hotel than anything having to do with JoeCon. Of the shows I have been to, the the biggest show for attendance and for dealers was Orlando '04. The next smallest...I'd have to think about that. Dallas sounds about right, but I seem to remember a small dealer room for New Orleans too. The only other west coast JoeCons by Fun Pub was Irvine, CA and San Jose, CA. Furthest west since then has been the two in KC. Robot cons work out there, JoeCons do not...this is not to say that I would not like to see one someday in Seattle, Portland, LA or SD though.

Would be cool to see but I wish they still did O-ring figs. I will spend my $ on vintage odds and ends.
