It appears that Blizzard is having yet another BlizzCon. Still in Anaheim, and tickets will still be $100. While that ticket price sounds steep, it's essentially to pay for the venue, the goodie bags of phat loot and the software developers for not working on their projects and talking about them. For me, BlizzCon is the MOST profitable of the conventions I attend year long; unlike last time, this convention is well past the summer convention season, in October, which means that those cosplayers can also use the costumes for Halloween. Cosplayers take note: the Blizzcon costuming prizes are better than ANY other cosplay masquerade contest in the world -- last year's grand prize was a computer system worth several thousand dollars.
