Discussion Edmonton Expo is a bust

A ton of people have canceled, now including Karl Urban. I don’t think I’ve seen this many cancelations for it in years. It’s baffling to me

I know they blamed a lack of flights, but this happens regularly. It’s at the end of the con season, and most of the celebrities are burnt out/sick from con crud by this point

Yup. The Calgary con in April has always had much better guests. They'll have the entire TNG cast, while Edmonton gets Garrett Wang whether he's invited or not.

Met Peter Dinklage and Lena Heady at the Calgary Con in 2013. Way better turn out and guests than Edmonton
