The Manchester Grand Hyatt is a spot of some controversy — Gay rights groups have been calling for a boycott of the hotel due to controversial owner Doug Manchester’s monetary support of California’s anti gay marriage bill. (Although Catholic, Manchester was himself embroiled in a messy divorce.) While the Manchester Grand Hyatt has long been seen as indifferent at best to the Comic-Con’s parade of oddity, it is THE go to place every night for the Nerd Prom after party and if you’ve never waited 30 minutes for a weak vodka tonic there, you haven’t really done Comic-Con.
In addition, the Hyatt is the largest hotel on the waterfront on the West Coast, and its 1625 rooms are a huge part of the available room supply. Losing it for the con — for those with no social conscious — is a serious matter.

PS: Jim Lee confirms his attendance at Wonder-Con for Friday and Saturday only... but I dunno about Kraig.
