We need a new model. Something small, intimate that focuses on the work and the artists. STGCC has the Artists' Alley but that is not enough.
We need something like The Millionaires Club.

Makes you feel like a millionaire even after spending tons of cash on North European comics.

KL's Comic Fiesta is huge but they remained focused on the artists. Its feel is more Comiket than San Diego Comic Con. Rows of tables filled with doujins and self-published works.
Anyone with cash to spare to kickstart this? Don't think it will cost a million.
crowd funding? if we could scope out a venue and have ballpark costs it'd be easier to know how to proceed....
