We’re two days in to the 2011 Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo, and I feel at this point I can safely report that it has been a hectic mess (of awesome).
The Calgary Comic Expo, which has steadily been growing in both size and attendance since its birth in 2006, was this year extended from a two day Saturday/Sunday event to a full three days. Friday being an ‘advance sneak preview’ day, before some of the larger media guests (read: William Shatner) arrived at the Con. The hectic nature of the con can be seen as growing pains as Calgary adjusts to its largest pop culture expo taking on a life of its own. As it has grown in size, so too has its recognition spread as one of the larger North American Comic and Entertainment conventions.
