I feel your pain. Back in the 90’s Creation used to come ot Minneapolis, Minnesota almost every year with a Stra Trek Convention. Now they barely touch us. Its either Las Vegas , West Coast or East coast.

The last two times they did come here, once in 2002, and last year the attendance was down due to the price they charged for tickets, People just didnt want to shell out 350.00 for Gold Circle seating Plus with last years Con they stated that they base coming to certain cities on how many hotels rooms they book at their host hotel. Its a catch 22.

Creation is coming back to Minneapolis this year but with a Twilgiht convention…. Oh well, hopefully one comes around these parts soon.

The sad thing is I can remember back in the 90s when it seemed like there were conventions everywhere. I got to see the Shat in the little northeast corner of Tennessee where I used to live. A few years later Marina Sirtis was there. Now it seems that the only things happening or in New York, California or Vegas.

27.

The Neonopolis is almost entirely glazed so any construction activity (or lack therof) would be readily apparent. I would guess that the current state of the economy is hindering financing. Las Vegas has been especially hard-hit. Bringing back the Experience would be a very expensive (multi-million) undertaking. As a practical matter, I don’t see it happening anytime soon.

The new Movie is going to be playing at the IMAX theater at the NASM Dulles Annex (Udvar-Hazy center). Does anyone know if there’s going to be any kind of events for the premiere there, as well?
