during construction.
Scott JohnsonHOST
Sorry, keep calling it Comic-Con.
Scott JohnsonHOST
FanX now we have to call it.
Brian IbbottHOST
Yeah.
Brian IbbottHOST
Well-
Scott JohnsonHOST
So [clears throat] we, uh, we make all the arrangements.
Brian IbbottHOST
Yeah.
Scott JohnsonHOST
Uh, FanX was monstrous this year, uh, partly because next year they're re- they're...
Scott JohnsonHOST
Or between now and next year they're doing a huge renovation of the Salt Palace, and so I think that they're...
Bill AllredHOST
yes.
Bill AllredHOST
FanX.
Bill AllredHOST
We've been descended
Gina BarberiHOST
upon.
Gina BarberiHOST
Way to go, Sherlock.
Bill AllredHOST
You really got a nose for stuff, don't you? Because
Gina BarberiHOST
seeing them walking in a crosswalk is different than seeing them at FanX.
Gina BarberiHOST
Like seeing them on the way.
Kerry JacksonHOST
Federal employee Alex checking in.
Kerry JacksonHOST
Thanks for coming to FanX and answering my silly questions.
Kerry JacksonHOST
Will Friday's show be posted? Oh,
Bill AllredHOST
you mean the FanX? No,
Gina BarberiHOST
that's not Friday's show.
Gina BarberiHOST
Does he mean? No.

Kerry JacksonHOST
Quite the collection of geeks over the weekend.
Bill AllredHOST
Yeah.
Dan GuntherHOST
That's really cool.
Brandi JackolaHOST
And that's so interesting because there was a whole thing at FanX that we didn't go to because, honestly, we're old and we're tired.
Brandi JackolaHOST
We lasted six hours.
Dan GuntherHOST
That's pretty good.
Brandi JackolaHOST
I think that's the correct thing.
Brandi JackolaHOST
The only thing that I felt bad about was because Richard Hatch made a great Klingon.
Brandi JackolaHOST
He was exceptional and I got to meet him twice during my times going to FanX and he, I love, he was my first crush as far as not Star Trek people.
Brandi JackolaHOST
So, because, yeah, Battlestar Galactica, don't know if you've ever seen the original series, guys, but yeah, that is something that was very prominent along with Star Trek in my, you know...
Scott JohnsonHOST
So pretty nerdtacular, we were planning on this dinner.
Scott JohnsonHOST
And he was going to come to the, sorry, I keep calling it Comic-Con, FanX now, we have to call it.
Brian IbbittHOST
Well, they have to call it.
Brian IbbittHOST
You can call it whatever you want.
Scott JohnsonHOST
Well, anyway, so where was...
Scott JohnsonHOST
Oh, so we make all the arrangements.
Scott JohnsonHOST
FanX was monstrous this year, partly because next year, or between now and next year, they're doing a huge renovation of the Salt Palace.
Scott JohnsonHOST
And so I think that a bunch of stuff may change.
RennaGUEST
But then Utah, where I'm from, has a lot of little events that I'll go attend.
RennaGUEST
And FanX, which is not a little event.
ChristineHOST
Yes, yes, of course.
ChristineHOST
Well, that's so cool.
Kerry JacksonHOST
Intermountain West.
Kerry JacksonHOST
Here in the Intermountain West, it's all about FanX is the problem.
TonyHOST
It's a different kind of weather phenomenon.
Kerry JacksonHOST
Different kind of way.
Kerry JacksonHOST
Let's see.
Kerry JacksonHOST
Just taking a look at what everybody's up to.
Kerry JacksonHOST
And yes, FanX Friday was yesterday as we record this.
Kerry JacksonHOST
Got to see Rob.
Brandi JackolaHOST
Yeah, because we went to a con.
Dave JackolaHOST
Yeah, FanX 2026.
Dave JackolaHOST
It's the 13th year of the Salt Lake Fan Expo.
Dave JackolaHOST
That used to be Salt Lake Comic Con until a lawsuit.
Dave JackolaHOST
Well, it's typical of capitalism to put money over people.
Dave JackolaHOST
And that's what we're getting from this.
Dave JackolaHOST
Because early on, FanX was about the experience you're giving to the people.
Brandi JackolaHOST
Yep.

Welcome back to KVA News for the people.
Jason WilliamsHOST
I mentioned that I was going to just quickly talk about one of the movie-related things that was presented at FanX.
Jason WilliamsHOST
Where were you
Andy MorganGUEST
yesterday?
Jason WilliamsHOST
It's whoever has the most money.
Jason WilliamsHOST
It just blows me away.
Jason WilliamsHOST
But anyway, so they can't say Comic-Con anymore, so they have to call it FanX again, which used to be their spring event setting up the stage for Comic-Con anyway.
Jason WilliamsHOST
Yeah.
