So apparently it's moving to the Concert Hall next year so everything will be under one roof.

CCA will still be 'a hub' showing films and stuff In the run up.

Sounds like good news to me - especially for those who were stuck up in the art school.

Excelsior! As they say.
Be excellent to each other. And party on!

Now that's a nice prospect. Look forward to the droids filling the main hall for their panel(s).

There had better be a bar. That's the best bit!
Saramango Bar is part of the Con experience!

Will be coming through for this one, I believe Dode C is up for it too, new venue sounds better hope it doesn't lose the intimacy of the one hall.

Hopefully this will be a big enough venue to accommodate all as much as I like the CCA its all getting a bit cramped.

Hmm, just pretend I wrote something witty eh?

You can if you want but I say it every year in the nerd hope that one day it'll come true  :-[

No guest news as yet but they usually wait until last minute to say then some cancel at the laster minute.

The history of comics will be on at the Hunterian:

http://www.gla.ac.uk/hunterian/visit/exhibitions/exhibitionprogramme/comicinvention/#d.en.410343

'Taking us from the world's oldest comic to Donald Duck and Dr Dread, Comic Invention also reveals new material central to the history of comics.
Looking at the graphic narrative in its widest sense, the exhibition showcases treasures from The Hunterian and beyond, from the ancient Greeks to Hogarth and contemporary items.
Comic Invention also highlights a very important but little known work called The Glasgow Looking Glass of 1825 (pictured). Arguably the world's oldest comic, it predates titles like Punch by sixteen years.'


So the Jocks did invent comics Yah!
