Wasn’t it was the same attendance number this year as it was last year, and I think the year before that." I may be wrong, but I believe that several years ago SDCC put a maximum cap on attendance based on what the convention center can accomodate. So if it's sold out at maximum capacity year after year, attendance can't get bigger unless the venue physically expands somehow. “The weird part about this post is the show may be getting bigger in scope but not in attendance.

We had some tornadoes here yesterday, but the gardeners are fixing the topiary at Stately Beat Manor, and everything should be back to normal before your return. Speaking of Thor, what did you think of the Infinity Gauntlet? Hey… it was a pleasure, Heidi.

PLAN AHEAD: If I had set a meeting in advance, I made it -- but negotiating the floor to connect with colleagues on the fly was a challenge. BEING THERE: If you only care about media news, images and videos, stay home and web it. If you want to collide with fellow fans and creators in the flesh while movie propaganda is shoved in your face, hit the floor (or the four city blocks adjacent to the entrance.) PULSE: The site, the staff and security were stressed beyond capacity, but I still had a great time.

Turning attention into immediate sales...there's the rub for retailers. Time–that sliver of a limited attention span–is the new currency.
