Jolton joes has a gaming area too. By expanding the con, will only create more space to sell more tickets. I think the key is to spread out the con so you don't have all of these bottlenecks in some areas. The Floor will always be crazy crowded. I think they should move the outside vendors to another area IMO. Keep the main floor for the toy kines, video game releases, movie and show stuff, and new release shit.

Yup! My wife and I spent a lot of time at the gaslamp district last year. We hit up the convention floor (and occassionally the sails pavilion and sister hotels) for only a few hours at a time for panels, meet and greets, and to buy exclusives. I actually liked the off-site stuff a lot.
