In the past there would be lines for SGC drop off submissions. I just walked up and sat down at 1 of the empty stations and did my submission. The big draw on Saturday was autograph guest Julian Edelman. If he wasn't there, I wonder how small the crowd would have been. I've been taking my son to the show since he was 3 (2002) and we always have a great time.

I read the same thing from two patrons about how the crowds were very thin at the show.
It will be interesting to see how things are at the next big shows before the end of the year.
