Title: Convention Center News Story
Post by: Mark-John Jinn on September 16, 2013, 05:13:13 PM

I was watching the new on ch. 6 and they were doing a story on a proposed new convention center hotel. They were talking about all of the conventions that come to the convention center. There was footage from Wizard World and many shots of a tk (not sure who) and who do they show a quick shot of? Our own fearless leader Steve Squire. He was checking his watch, probably wondering where Rob Frey was. Cool story though.

Michele got some screen grabs, it looks like Johnny in the Stormtrooper armor. Nice!

All fun aside, given that we now have WW and RCCC happening there, how awesome would it be to have a really nice hotel connected? With a good restaurant and lounge, that would really up the level of these events.
