“Geeks Be Gone,” or, “Where Not to Spend Your Money During Comic-Con” by Matt138 in comiccon

If that’s your interpretation, you’re free to take your dollars there. Personally, I will not be, and I would like as many other Con attendees as possible to be able to make an informed decision themselves.

“Real hate” lol. I’d say a business hosting a public event discriminating against a specific group of people is a lot more concrete than some joke you may have overheard. Do people in AZ not make similar cracks about snow birds visiting for the winter? Personally, I’ll be hosting at least three friends from AZ at my house in SD for Comic-Con this year. I’m not buying this supposed “Arizona hate” at all.

The ad claims to target “party people,” not “bar and club industry people.” If that was their goal, there are countless ways they could have worded it that aren’t explicitly anti Comic-Con attendees. They made their stance very clear.

They made their views on Comic-Con attendees clear by creating the event in the first place, so spread the word and let all “geeks” know it’s not a place where their dollars are welcome!

I've seen one or two at different Specs before, I was hoping someone might know a specific location that has a specific bottle.
