At least that you know of?

I mean, I probably wouldn't buy one at Fanime, if only because they might not have the two dolls I'm after. I'm new to the BJD world, but was just wondering if maybe I should keep my eye out for the dolls I want, or for the possibility of falling in love with a completely different one.

Hi guys.

Me and a friend are thinking about setting up a table in the Artist Alley. All I know is it costs something like 20 dollars, right? But where/when do I pay for that? Is it related to the registration itself? Do I need to contact someone?

I was just wondering, since I was hoping to maybe set up a table next year. Is it possible? Or am I too late -- did I need to sign up at the convention itself for that?

Thanks,

I've been going to Fanime for four years now, next year will be my fifth. I've been pre-registering since 2006 (where I got the rather commendable -first-time-numbah- of 848).

Going as far back as you'd like, which year did you like best, badgewise? Whyso? Do you want to say why you didn't like the other ones?

Out of the three years I've gone, and only taking into account the badges I personally have gotten, I -really- liked 2007's badges.

This year, the lines were really strange on mine. I had the kimono-girl with brown hair? The lack of outlines in certain places just really bugs me, because it makes it look only half complete. I like outlines. Other than that, I think that all the text on it was way too straight and square, and that the background was boring. It looked flat and amateurish compared to the last two years.

2006 would have been better, I'm sure, except that the colouring seemed awkward to me. I got the girl with the four pigtails? She's wonderfully drawn.. but she's entirely green. o_o I -really- love the background though. Out of all three years, 2006 has my favourite backgrounds. They were detailed, and just... really cool.

My FAVOURITE was 2007, like I already said. I got the girl holding Earth in her hands? The entire card looks so professional. The one major issue... is that it says underneath "FanimeCon 2007" (which was written really awesomely) "/commence operations 05.25.06 until 05.28.06."

2007! 07!!!

But yeah. It  ALSO looked awesome, because I was fan numbah 0196. x3

!!!!!!

I was on the FOURTH FLOOR OF THE MARRIOT.

Sounds good, right? Stairs and all that? Well it SUCKS when you need to check out and you're trying to get downstairs with friends who have ginormous bags. (I had a backpack and a messenger bag, thassit.)

We could NOT get into the elevator for over half an hour until I (yes, me, Ricci, the wonderful) came up with this awesome idea.

We got into the first elevator we could that was going up.

Success.

We went ALL THE WAY UP TO LEVEL 25... But then we came back down. And all was good. Especially when we started singing tetris whenever someone new came in. And uh, yelled about sex or something. That could have just been the con in general though...
