Don't they keep a record of who buys what? I believe this is going to be a hot mess if AX 2021 still goes through and they just send out mass emails to everyone.

I get the feeling that it's because Everbrite's policies lock up the money that AX needs sooner to hold their event so 2021 is not going to work out as-is without canceling the contract to release the money and switching to another ticket vendor.

AX Lite 2020 was decently entertaining here and there. I wouldn't mind it coming back for 2021 if it has to

Nayrt but there are high risk people other than retarded boomers who need herd immunity through vaccinations to not die. And it's better if everyone doesn't get sick. Even if you don't die or get hospitalized the economy can be negatively impacted by people being too sick to work and having to stay home from their jobs.

In 2019 SPJA pulled in approx 16 mil in raw revenue against a little over 13 mil in expensives so they still have about 3 mil profit (kind of). they also had 5 mil in net assets. They should be fine for another year.

I don't think AX will have a 2021 because planning for that would be ongoing right now in terms of negotiations, design, etc. Travel and event restrictions will likely be in place for a good portion of the first half of the year and that will hamper things as well. As is only cons towards the end of the year have a shot at happening and only because vaccination will have time to ramp up. It's still not a very good shot. Fanime is good as done. SDCC as well. Cons like Crunchyroll's CRX, while they could be held under the best of circumstances, will probably not be since they're end of summer/early fall and planning, visa applications, etc needs to be done before that. Anime NYC has a shot but only if things go well and they can begin planning for a con in the spring.

Pfizer won't be giving a significant amount of doses until the second half of 2021. We're getting a burst from them initially, right now til end of year, but after that they'll be trickling in bit by bit. I don't thinK Moderna has announced what their output will be but after the initial dosage contract we do have options for further purchases from them (we do not with Pfizer). AstraZeneca is still ongoing so don't expect them for a while. Johnson and Johnson is who knows where.

The first half of 2021 will definitely be a dead year. The second is a maybe, and only a soft one. 2022 is more likely for America. Other parts of the world, like Asia, can probably start doing things in 2021. Japan is already betting on it for the Olympics. Expect travel to be limited if you don't get the vaccine. If you'r staying stateside you can drive everywhere but flights will probably require immunity.

Look man, we all want to blink into a world that was like the one we were living in pre-covid, but you need to come to terms with the fact that this is not a light switch situation where we just turn the virus off and things go back to normal. We are at the bottom of a long staircase towards what we once knew. We need to work our way up the staircase by getting more and more people vaccinated which takes time. The sooner you realize this and stop trying to futilely blink your way up to the top of the staircase, the better off you will be. This is not the new normal, it's just what's normal right now.

>>10514431
I personally can't see companies waiting that long. Look at the other countries who actually have the virus under control, they returned to sports games and events almost immediately once it was safe. The year really depends on when we can get the virus under control. Personally I think 2021 is just going to be a year of vaccination and isolation. Fall 2021 at absolute best. 2022 is the most likely return time, again depending on how well we do in 2021. Personally, I don't mind too much either because it gives me time to actually have a weekend full of costumes. I miss AA so much though. Nothing can replace it.

I have a feeling this will get cancelled after the vaccine wears off for those who took it first and cases start climbing again. Also support for the Olympics among the locals are at an all time low, many want the games postponed again (highly unlikely) or cancelled all together. If it still goes through, the only major losers here is the Japanese tourism industry since both the IOC and the government want all foreign athletes and delegates to gtfo of the country once their event ends.

'Healthy young people' can still carry the virus. The virus also has a chance of mutating over time into a strain that our current vaccines would be ineffective against.

The human body carries around 400 trillion viruses at any given point. No one dies from being in crowded places because we have immune systems (unless you have the aids). The common cold, also known as coronavirus, mutates very quickly. That's why there has never been a cure/vaccine for it. Normal vaccines take 5-10 years to develop. Everything the medical establishment has told us over the last year is a lie.

Is there any plan to have a "badge" that gives you vaccine priveleges like I think they're doing in Britain and a few other places? The antivax Karens and skid row tweakers who will refuse/not have access to the vaccine aren't the kind of people who would be going to AX in the first place.

I think everyone knows that if AX happens at all it's going to be considerably modified and smaller. Call this "bargaining" but I can see the following circumstances helping:
>cap attendance at 60,000 (slightly higher than half of 2019's attendance)
>badges are only available online (drastically cuts down on linecon)
>proof of vaccine and/or mask required to get in (preferably both)
>event is spread out over 3 or 4 spaces/hotels instead of just the LACC and JW

When it becomes clear that they won't be able to hold the con in the summer, they'll postpone to the fall/winter in hopes that it will be able to happen then.

next year should be fine because vaccine will be rolled out enough. this year is a no go because of said vaccine rollout not having been done to a sufficient amount and the fact that cons require months of preparation before they are actually held. only the cons towards the end of the year have a shot at being held and only if by mid-year vaccine rollout is getting somewhere.

If you're waiting for Boris and the media to give you the go ahead for back to normal, never. There's been a constant shifting of goal posts since this started.

If you retards would stay the fuck inside/follow guidelines the virus would infect fewer people and have less chance to mutate into more contagious or dangerous strains.

Many scientists also aren't 100% sure if the new strain is that much more virulent because of the sheer amount of people refusing to follow guidelines causing more people to get infected with it in general also being a factor.

Is there any proof that the guidelines even work? Nearly everyone I see at stores wears a mask and wears it properly, although it isn't like there's any standard for the material the mask has to be made out of. Even if they did, there's a bunch of carve outs that basically render them ineffective (for example: my university mandates masks everywhere, even outside, but the building policy contains a provision that exempts athletes from having to wear them during practice) or local governments refuse to shutdown superspreader events like St. George Floyd protests. I'm really not sure what the point of banning fun is since it isn't like it did anything to stop the deaths, which were going to happen anyways.

I agree with most of this other than the word "conscientious" being in there.
Pretty much every con organizer out there is gonna hold their con whenever they're legally able to do so, regardless of what the current situation with covid is.
I can't help but wince a bit every time I see someone say "thanks for making the right decision" whenever a con is cancelled. Those naive fucks don't seem to understand that there hasn't really been any decisions to make. Cons have been cancelled because the organizers have had no choice in the matter.
I'm not saying this to shit on the organizers or anything. The fact of the matter is that some cons are going to go away forever if they have to cancel two years in a row. It's a tough spot to be in.

I wholesomely agree. Those people who called convention cancellations a blessings will be crying later if their favourite convention ceased to exist after this. Either due to financial struggles or simply due to their organisers moving on. Remember: most conventions are run by volunteers and if they lose interest or have other stuggles on their minds, only the hardcore engaged people will stick around. For many it will just not be a big think to move on and care about other hobbies or volunteer engagements.

People are dying after the first dose because the vaccine isn't fully effective until the second dose and people are allowing themselves to be exposed between doses (or are a healthcare worker/first responder and have no choice in the matter). It would save governments more money to vaccinate essential workers in waves and allow them paid time off until the second dose to prevent people from getting half vaccinated and dying, essentially wasting the vaccine. But at the same time since the doses are spread a month apart it is a bit tough to have that many first responders and medical employees down and out for that long when COVID is peaking everywhere again.

How mentally challenged are you? Having no cons is the least of our worries when people are still getting sick and dying. If you haven't noticed, having in-person physical social gatherings have been on the decline and no one wants to do them anymore even if we all get vaccinated in the end. We can still socialize, share ideas and interests via online cons and Zoom meetings. Stop living in the past, in-person cons are dead and online cons are now the future of Fandom.

If this actually becomes the case then I want nothing to do with fandoms or cons. People nowadays get unironically toxic online. People are so much better to interact with in person - getting to know people who like the same crap as you over kbbq, acting out a series' internal memes in cosplay with fellow cosplayers, hang out with friends new and old in cringy comfy kigurumis at night perusing a change of scenery - you will never get that experience through zoom or online cons. Humans are social creatures, there've been quite a few people who offed themselves because the mandatory seclusion became too much for them. Pandemic or not - you are likely a simpleton if you think in-person interaction is suddenly antiquated.

So unfortunate and frustrating knowing that larger conventions and convention "seasons" aren't really coming back in the US until 2023-2024

Online cons aren't replacements for in-person events but I like them. No lines, no gross basement dwellers screaming inappropriate things or asking industry incredibly cringey things, I can see all of the cosplay contests and panels without fail or interruptions. No waiting for cheap translators to interpret and wait for dumb applause to die down, either, so a 1-hr JP guest event really is an hour's worth of SUBBED content instead of 15 minutes of actual talking/content with people waiting for live translations in both directions. I'm OK with another year of virtual cons and letting them run concurrently with real cons next year.

Newsom is afraid of the growing recall effort. It's why he rescinded the stay at home order so suddenly.
There's some growing talk about theme parks potentially reopening in the summer, a bill just got introduced today to allow for large parks reopening in the orange tier and Great America in Northern CA just announced a reopening date of May 22nd.
Newsom has to back the fuck down because his approval rating has tanked. It still doesn't mean that an in-person AX would be any good this year, though.

Newsom is doing an okay job at best, a lot of his decisions seem arbitrary and California is seriously lagging in vaccinations. He sure has succeeded in pissing off a bunch of people, though. Conservatives bitched about the outdoor dining ban and then progressives bitched when he rescinded it.
The recall would truly be a waste of time and money, though. Republicans need to sort their shit out before worrying about Newsom.

People seem to think that if AX, or any convention for that matter, goes two years without holding their event, they will never come back.
There already have been a number of conventions that have cancelled for the 2nd year in a row that seem confident they'll be back in 2022.
In fact, the only convention I can think of that has been all gloom and doom and begging for money is Otakon.
Mainly it's going to be conventions that were struggling before corona that are going to go away.

Money is very,,very scarce for con organizers we don't know how long or how much financial can last for years. For Otakon and others cons situations we don't know the future will hold. I still believe AX will push an opportunity on moving because California taxes are gonna boost through the roof even if that don't have event and do another a AX Lite event. It really seems moving is the best option right now because California is gonna tank harder like we never seen before.

Good, the pandemic has shown that cons have lost their meaning and value. I don't know why people still yearn for mass gatherings when they are now frowned upon society for being possible super spreader events.

I understand and would generally tend to agree with that logic. However, most of the cons that have cancelled two years in a row seem to be pretty fucking nonchalant about it. If they were in trouble I would think they would be going out of their way to postpone until later in the year, in spite of the challenges that would arise from that.
If someone with knowledge on how cons work can explain how a con can survive a year, let alone two, with no income, I'd like to hear about it.
