From what I've read, it's still up in the air, but it looks like the show is going to stay in Anaheim. After all, they renamed it "WonderCon Anaheim." In addition, the show's attendance increased dramatically over the last couple of years:

2009: 34,000
2010: 39,000
2011: 49,500

Even though CCI is a Non-Profit Organization, money and the Hollywood influence have a good deal to do with the decision to stay in SoCal. Allegedly.

Regarding the open dates for Moscone, here they are as of August 1st:

3/7-3/9: Free
3/14-3/16: Free
3/21-3/23: Free
3/28-3/30: North booked 3/28 and 3/29 for MacWorld (WonderCon typically only uses South, but I doubt they'd have it the same weekend as MacWorld)

4/4-4/6: North booked 4/4-4/5 for Rock & Roll Marathon, North & South 4/5-4/6 for Surgeon Conference
4/11-4/13: Free
4/18-4/20: Free
4/25-4/27: West booked on 4/25 for Materials Research, North booked on 4/26-4/27 for Plastic Surgery conference. South not booked yet.

We'll see if CCI does the right thing and returns the show to its roots, OR gives into the almighty dollar.

Heard that too.

I may not be able to attend WonderCon if it's in San Francisco if it's at the end of March or in April due to the way my work schedule is setting up.

I heard that as well and agree completely...we need it back in SF. The shitty thing about splitting it will be if they do it close together than I think they will split the starpower and I would bet SoCal would get more.

Yeah, plus if WonderCon North is held in October, which is when APE, it will also compete for the industry's talent with New York ComicCon.

Bring it back here!!

And no diluted shit ... ie WC North or "expanded" APE!

WonderCon was doing just fine up here and growing. Comic Con owes us. Anaheim owes us. There would be no Wondercon to even bring it down south without us making it what it is today and growing it. WonderCon is ours. Even if they split it or choose to keep it down south, they need to change the name entirely. Sort of like Seattle SuperSonics vs OKC Thunder. Sure they moved the franchise but they didn't take the SuperSonic name with them to Oklahoma! That's BS!

WonderCon Anaheim 2014: April 18-20!

WonderCon Anaheim returns in 2014 for another big weekend of comics and the popular arts at the beautiful Anaheim Convention Center on April 18, 19, and 20 (Easter weekend). With over 56,000 attendees in 2013 (and only the second year in Anaheim), WonderCon Anaheim continues to be one of the top comics and pop culture events in the country. 2014 marks the event’s 28th continuous year.

We’re working on the special guest list as you read this. The official Exhibitor Application Form for WCA 2014 is now available … if you’re interested in exhibiting in our giant Exhibit Hall, you’ll want to get that form in early, as this show tends to sell out of space quickly. Click here to download the Exhibitor Application.

Check back for more info as we rocket towards 2014, including the Exhibitor Application, our first round of special guest announcements, hotel reservations at our official headquarters hotel, and badge sales. Make sure you have a Member ID in order to purchase a badge for WonderCon Anaheim 2014, and save the dates: Easter weekend, April 18–20, at the Anaheim Convention Center! - See more at: http://www.comic-con.org/toucan/wond....0lTLkBoS.dpuf

Not sure if I'll be able to attend since it's on Easter Weekend.

Although I said WC is dead to me, I've actually been reconsidering about this particular show. I might be able to get a couple of friends to cosplay as a group, which would be fun. Just sucks that the show is on Easter weekend.

Damn I was really hoping it would be back.

I've pretty much lost all hope that WonderCon in the Spring will ever come back to San Francisco.
