As many of you are aware, it has been our hope to return to San Francisco for
 WonderCon 2013.
We have been waiting for information on the availability of the Moscone
Center and were just officially offered dates, though they were for the fall.
Unfortunately, those dates coincide with another very large city wide event,
and this has resulted in some unavoidable conflicts. Among them hotel room
 blocks we explored near, and not so near, the Moscone Center started
at $300 per night.
This, along with the expected difficulty of exhibitors and attendees in securing
 airfare for those outside of driving distance of San Francisco for that weekend,
 has resulted in us not being able to secure San Francisco as a location for
WonderCon in 2013.
However, because we knew there was a possibility of not being able to return
 to San Francisco, we have scheduled WonderCon: Anaheim to be held
March 29-31, 2013. Hopefully we will be able to return WonderCon to
San Francisco sometime soon.

All event and program rooms have limited capacity as set by the Fire Marshal.
 Even though your badge is needed to get into all events, it does not guarantee
 you access to any event if it has reached its capacity.
