In defense of SPX
So I hear a lot of people are upset.
Granted, I know that I’m press, not a creator, so the sting of possibly being shut out of SPX registration once everything has been sorted doesn’t really apply to me. But I saw the email they sent out after the whole debacle and I know they worked for months on the system to try and prevent that kind of failure and considering all the times as comics fans we’ve been involved in some kind of online registration nightmare (I’m looking at you SDCC) I think the fine people of SPX were as classy as they could possibly be about it.
I know that there are a lot of other things we could talk about about SPX as a show and how and who it should be represented and representing and in my experience the organizers are open to these kinds of discussions. But for now I would just like to applaud them on attempting to take what ended up being a complete shitshow in stride.
That’s all really. I’ll show myself out now.
