I think it is pretty clear that Chicago will host C5. Why not announce it at SDCC? Well, if you are going to be in Chicago in 2 weeks for another convention, why not announce it in the host city (as I'm sure Sansweet will be doing at Wizardworld grin ).

Nothing is 100% guaranteed it is official. Unless Steve Sansweet told someone and they are keeping the information to themselves. I doubt I will go it is Chicago. 5 hour drive is too far with the economy like it is. The interstates around chicago on the Indiana side are terrible. I am a terrible driver with congested traffic going 80mph plus. Makes me nervous and I sweat to death. I would not go to Chicago by myself. Mapquest says it takes 5 hours. I hope Indy gets it. They deserve another chance to host it now that Gencon it not in charge. If gencon was not charge for CII or CIII then more fans would of looked more favorably on the Indiana Convention Center after having the conventions. I talked to several people who went to CII and/or CIII where I lived and they have no problems with it. Go Indy!

I think the one problem with Indy is that all the expansion and remodeling won't be finished by next year. But go Indy for C6 in 2013! wink

if you haven't heard, the official news from Comic-Con in San Diego:
There will be a Celebration V in 2010, but the exact location and dates are not known yet.

Didn't they specifically say summer 2010, or did I hear that wrong?

Yeah, Sansweet did say "summer 2010" but I suspect we shouldn't take that literally as in post-June 21. I'm thinking Memorial Day is still likely as it is very late next year (May 31).

I was hoping for more than that, as we all were. Looks like they are gonna draw it out as much as they can.

Steve told us specifically that it won't be on Memorial Day weekend, and that it won't conflict with any other major convention.

I don't suppose they could combine a CV with any other major conventions? That would be a bit radical, but it would take care of some of their logistical problems..........and create new, more interesting ones. tongue

Nothing to attach it to, really, Arden. And we do like our little emphasis on SW, to be sure.

On a side note -- had my visit to Rancho Obi-Wan on Friday. Just overwhelming, folks. Sorry, no pictures -- too busy chatting to take pictures! Anyway, you can see photos of Steve's main collection room all over the web. It's just breath-taking to see. And then there are the storerooms filled with items that haven't been put into a collection room yet. Like I told Anne, it would take a hundred years to get this all sorted out. I could die happy LOL. I wished I lived closer -- get the invite to come help out with cataloging some stuff! Alas, it's not a weekend trip for me, darn it. Anyway, it was super, super fun. So glad I'm a SW fan!
