Info For Artist Alley Reg

[catnapcaps]

I have a permanent seller's permit but it shows my my home address. Do I have to get a new seller's permit for the convention's address?

I have a permanent permit as well. When I asked the BoE about selling at cons, they said I could add locations by filling out a form at the end of the year and mail it in along with my CA sales tax forms. Each con that I've been to for the past year hasn't had a problem with it.

So does that mean that we don't have to do anything about it until it's time to send in our taxes? I was wondering the same thing since my permit has my home address as I normally just do commissions.

Can any staff confirm this?

If you have a permanent permit that should be fine. Please bring a copy when you check in to the art alley.

feel free to direct any questions to artistalleyATfanimeDOTcom

Is there a map or layout of Artist Alley somewhere?  I logged into my artist alley account and can see my table location T122, but it's not really helpful without a picture of the exact layout.  I still have no idea where I am located generally in artist alley.

yeah I have the map but it doesn't say which tables are which. Will there be another map that'll tell us?

[Sneath]

I might have a map of last year... but unless the layouts the same it won't help at all.

[Althena]

Seconded on the map request, as I would really like to know where my table is... the number brings up... potentially frustrating questions that I wish to clarify.

Another thing.. the email that was sent out regarding AA times.

Friday:   Artists: 11:00am to 8:30pm - Con Goers: 2:00pm - 8:00pm
Saturday:  Artists: 10:00 am to 7:30pm - Con Goers: 10:30am - 7:00pm

    * Monday 10:00am to 5:00pm  artists                        Con goers  10:30am - 4:00pm


My Question... Is Artist Alley closing the same time as the Dealer's Hall? I recall last year, we stayed open an hour (I think?) later than the dealer's hall. My mind is a bit fuzzy, so I cannot recall when the dealer's hall closed last year. 7pm sounds really early.

The 2010 AA layout. Just about the same as this years. This years has more aisles (6 x 4, instead of 8 x 3. same # of tables) and 6 more tables in the lower left by the "pika pika" thing. The first 312 tables should be about the same.

[Kimba616]

Hah my number isn't even on that layout; T318. Doesn't help me much. xD

Confirming the 2011 layout as similar to the 2010 layout. The difference is that the 3 rows (going left to right) of tables are now closer to each other because there is an added 4th row near the entrances. There is one extra half-column of tables in the 4th row.

Hopefully I'll be back tomorrow with a JPEG of the layout for everyone after it's scanned in and such!

wow every time I look at the map sent out in email I cant help but think about all that creativity that will be packed into one room.  I cant wait!! I'm putting together a color map on my DA of people's tables.  I can edit anyone in that would like to be added.

Greetings Artists,

Many times we get asked during Fanime at what table someone is
located. For privacy concerns we have not released this information in
previous years. Feedback we have received indicated that Artists were
interested in having the option left up to them as to whether or not
we can tell an inquiring con-goer where an artist is sitting.

So...this year we would like to give you the choice!

If you would like us to be able to tell folks what table you are located:
- Send us a Separate email with your Account Number and the word
"List" in the Subject line.
- In the email, note if you approve just your name to be included
and/or your fan/professional name.
- At tables with more than one Artist, the Primary Artist preference
will apply to all Artists.

Response is not required. If we don't hear from you, we won't tell
folks where your table is.

We will also be verifying your choice when the Primary Artist checks
in at the Artist Alley.

Additionally, after the end of today (Monday, May 23rd), Artist Alley will be
closed to any requests to add artists or helpers to existing accounts.
Those accounts that currently have pending requests need not worry as
they are already being handled.

Any requests should be submitted as an original email with your
account number in the Subject line.

Sincerely,
AA Staff

remind you to check in to the Artist Alley *BEFORE* going to, or
setting up at your assigned table.

To make check in Faster, please do NOT bring all of your wares with
you for check in.  Please check in first, then go and get your wares.
It is not necessary to bring all of your wares, props, etc with you
for check in. Doing so significantly slows the line down. You only
need your account number, member badge, seller's permit (2 copies),
valid ID and for those under 16 a parent and letter as earlier
outlined.

We are reminding you that although we have given you your table
assignment in advance, you MUST check in first before going to your
table. You may not go to your table to even just "drop off" stuff and
then get in line.

If we see people moving their supplies to a table before checking in,
we will have to scrap the idea of disclosing table locations in
advance next year. We don't want to have to do that, so please, follow
the rules!

Sincerely,
AA Staff
