cons and shows

dewline seems to indicate that C-Ace, the comics and anthro show in Ottawa, is not long for this world.
I know the difficulties inherent in conrunning, and can empathize with the situation they've found themselves in. Convention space is a cruel mistress, and prices have been all over the place in the last few years. Hotels are kinda crazy, too. I wonder if C-Ace had a sliding scale with the hotel (of course, I wondered the same thing about BE, since they had to have sold out their block). With full blocks (which was a bit of an impossible dream at some times) you can get good deals from the hotels.
Blood Ties trailer!
Hmmm. Dreseden Files, set in Chicago, filmed in Toronto. Blood TIes, set in Toronto, Filmved in Vancouver. They need to set a show in Vancouver and film it in Chicago for symmetry. Can three things have symmetry?
