Greetings Artists,

Artist Alley Check-In will open at 11am on Friday morning.

BEFORE CHECK-IN

You will need to have in your hands the following:

1. Your FanimeCon Membership badge. Yes, you must get your badge from
Registration FIRST

2. Two (2) copies of your California Seller's Permit. One copy is for
our records and one for you to keep at your table with you at all
times (this is California law)

3. A valid form of ID (such as a State ID, Drivers License or
Passport).
Student IDs are NOT a valid form of ID

4. Your Artist Alley Account Number

5. If you or anyone in your group that is selling will be under the age
of 18 (but no younger than 16) at the time of the Convention, please
note the following:


  • a. The minor's parent or legal guardian will need to check them in at
    the Artist Alley registration. A note will NOT be acceptable.  Being
    checked in by the primary artist (unless they are your
    parent/guardian) also will not be acceptable.

  • b. The minor must be included under a California Seller's Permit. The
    minor will need a separate letter signed by their parent/guardian
    which allows the minor to sell under the permit without the
    parent/guardian present.

  • c. If the minor's parent/guardian is not going to have a FanimeCon
    badge, you need to let us know! You will need a letter from us so that
    the parent/guardian can come in to check you in at the Alley.

This is in addition to all of the normal artist information and requirements.

Make sure you have prepared all of the above before you come to check-in for your table!

DURING CHECK-IN

There will be several check-in lines. These will be broken up by Account Number.

If you are part of a group, your Group Leader (Primary Artist) MUST be
the one to check in.
We will not release the group of tables until the
leader is there. If you have more questions, or your leader can not
make it Friday please e-mail us ([email protected]) so that we
can make special arrangements.

Artist Alley registration will last from 11am on Friday to 12noon on
Saturday. IF YOU CAN NOT MAKE IT BY SATURDAY AT NOON YOU NEED TO
E-MAIL US TO MAKE OTHER ARRANGEMENTS!!
If you are not there by
Saturday at noon and you have not made arrangements with us then your
table will be forfeited and made available for on-the-spot selling.
We will be available by email until Thursday, May 26 at 10am.  If you
have not made arrangements by that time we cannot guarantee we will
receive any messages.

There will stickers for the Artist Alley again this year. These
stickers will allow you to come in before the Alley opens and stay
after the Alley closes to the general public. These stickers are the
ONLY thing that will allow you in or out. The stickers are meant to
allow for setup/cleanup only. Anyone who is found wandering/shopping
in the Artist Alley outside of Public Hours will have their sticker
confiscated.

If you have:
- 1/2 table you get 1 Sticker,
- 1 table with 1 person you get 1 Sticker,
- 1 table with 2 or more people you get 2 Stickers,
- X tables with Y people on the account you get the lesser of: X * 2
Stickers or Y Stickers.

Example:
- Two tables with 5 people gets the lesser of 2*2 or 5 - so they get 4 stickers.
- Two tables with 3 people gets the lesser of 2*2 or 3 - so they get 3 stickers.

So basically if you have more than two people per table (ie: doing
shifts or additional helpers) you will have to decide which folks get
the stickers. If you feel you really need extra stickers you can ask
Bree on Saturday After 2pm if there are any left.

Remember everyone already has been assigned a seat. You don't have to
worry about being the first person in the doors. You already have a
table and that won't change. If you are not happy with your table and
want to swap, we as staff are OK with that. To swap tables you can go
up to the artists sitting at the table you want to be sitting at and
ask them nicely if they would mind swapping tables with you. If they
say yes, then both Primary Artists need to come up to the Staff
tables, but not until AFTER we finish the first round of check-in, and
get our OK.

You MUST check in before you go to your table. While we are providing
your seating table number in advance, you MUST check before getting
set up.

If you have any questions, please send an email including your account
number in the Subject line.

Sincerely,
AA Staff
