Good news. It's good to see more conventions getting news, other than San Diego Comic Con. Boston Comic Con should get some news too. They had to shut down the weekend of the show, because of the chase to catch the marathon bomber. They rescheduled the show into a bigger and better locale, and have a better line-up.

By the way, SLC is cool, plenty to do! Forget about the Utah quirkiness, you'll have fun if you go to the right places!
