-demi

what abuot those people who were seling the wolf and cat ears..... werent they also selling different type of ears and tails like racoons????

well it depends on what eve tail and ears you want.. or unless you just want eeve only and not its evolutions!

I know you guys are getting annoyed about this question but is there going to be an announced date for who gets into artist alley and who doesn't. Like can we accept an announcement soon or maybe next month? I and (I am sure) others would like to know so we can save some money for prints and other art.

last time they announce it around.... May 4th.
So i assume the announcement wil be made around april 30

actually cole you made a good valid point...
I was wondering about that when I question the boeing department about ordering another permit for the next year because I dont know how Fanime works when it involves reserving another table for next year.....

I ask the front desk at the san francisco department of California: boe office, and they said you can ask for a temporarily permit from last year as long as you pay off its taxes you have made.. Also I really don't know if they change some rules about the boe policy, I noticed that last year they kinda changed a few parts on the boe contract! not sure which but I think it was the social security issue not sure. But asking for a future temp they have no ideas!. I will investigate this further but in the mean time I think that idea cole mention is a good method to reserve a table!

My only concern about boeing is...this strange envelope I recieved.. any idea whats it for? they said its security but am I suppoesd to send that to fanime as well???

Actually im supposed to give the magnet of Sango in her sith outfit with a lightsaber on her hand and its a refigerator magnet.. I want to know who owns this because my friend was doing a comission.

the only thing I lost in fanime, is my tcepseR!

I still have vhs's for sale as well but they are only successful if they are in either a box set, mint or a very very hard to find anime. Alot of these days use dvd's but vhs is still a classic to see most of the thigns you cannot find..
Take example, Samurai pizza cats.. people will remember the old days and will buy th..
if its a rare one. I think Saban's adventure of the little mermaid is one but thats asomething I am searching for..
I already have all 8 vhs's sets but im concern about selling foreign dvd's..
I mean I know its illegal to buy a dvd that was made for a specific dvd player... but what about comptuers? those are region free!. well point is im still searching for them but I still think there is hope to selling vhs but only those if they remember it or if its very rare to find..
I think sailor moon boxset is going to be the hardest to find since I KNOW dic license that series...!

doesn't look like my number's coming anytime soon.  *pulls up a chair*

you can take Number 5...
hey we have to wait at least for something O_O!

Actually I kinda agree with yojambo's Qoutes..
NOrmally I would like to post this as well since everyone looks at me like im the one complaining... nope..
I get alot of threats already in the forum from "SECRET PEOPLE" saying i have to respect the admin and the members and the volunteers and the police!" yes I do respect them as well (as long as they don't tell me like this in FORCE)

the point is that Fanime is a big  (not really) convention. There will be times for people to apply a line for a table reservation. Remeber Everyone wants to take some life to do something amazing and learn how to sell their creations!
but don't forget that Fans can actually change the behaivor of the entire administrators! (seriously Look back 5 years and recall what was there and what was removed!)...

Aside from this!... I sugest this.. even though Artist alley is going to be "FULL" (we don't know that for sure)...[due to response, this response is kept secret] or wii!, you know half of those who registered wont have the chance to re-registered next year because they leave the convention on the third or fourth day much earlier due to "having a bad day, getting ill, work, etc...." Cheer up, there will always be a chance to reserve a table....

so yojambo, What ya said is true and I know your very very upset.....Don't blame anyone, in fact, its no-ones fault!! if you want to blame at someone, blame the pencil.... just cheer up relax and Msn message me!.....

Also... if the tables are full find another alternative for selling nice things... like the swap meet!

also.. i think your number 2..I got a ticket for number 3...
so heres a number
#3

Pre-reg for the next year is only open to those that already have a table. I think we will have a table limit for pre-sales at the end of this year. Then more new artists will be able to get tables.

so in other words those who gets the tables, have a chance to reserve next year?
What about those who does'nt have reserved a table? can we still reserve one? (right after thsoe who pre-registered)

also, I wanted to know for next year are you still going to have the policy of reserving 2 tables? or your going to change that rule?

wheels are a nono

okay then but if I remove the wheels will it count as a truck or a box?.. because mines has wheels, I can remove the wheels though (i think..) but would'nt that scratch the floor??....

I kinda forgot about the policy about wheels though..
also, The swapmeet is going to be in the same location like last year on the arcade room. that i am very sure its going to be there.(i think)...

Okay, I don't know where to ask a simple question or discuss if anything needs something for fanime swap meet...
The only question I wanna ask is...."what do they mean by truck?" I know dollys are not allowed and I know those Kart like things are'nt allowed (maybe?)
but what about a big plastic box with wheels?..
we have alot of stuff we want to sell but I don't understand what they meant by "Truck"?

Also, is there anyone needed help on finding a partcular item?

Thank you so for much, now I understand how the department of the adminisrations work. I am going to enjkoy fanime con when I arrived there even if I dont have the table registtration. thank you for all your cooperation and your answers!....

I really am kinda relieved and I want to apologized for asking so many questions and frustrated alot of users..Im not flaming nor being very Dramatic! I just want these important questions to be answer!..
Thank you very much..and hope to see you all at fanime con!

-White domino!

oh never new that...
but then last time I sold more items on friday and saturday.. sunday felt abit slow...

on to more questions:::
There was an art auction from different artist (mostly from the table regis). Do youhave to be an artist alley member to post an auction artwork?

I honestly can't understand most of your post, but Eric stated in the FAQ that using the 2008 contract is not acceptable. You'll have to wait for the 2009 one to go back online.

oh thank goodness...
(yeah that one i was very very worried......so maybe there can be a big slim chance...)
although i fear that Febuary 16th might be the last one to be submitted to this.....

\thanks for the infor^_^! i feel relieve!

kay new question...a huge one!
I noticed everyone is submitted the june 2008 contract but back then the site is very very, """!Simple!"""
My question is, are you guys accepting the 2008 contract which is posted here http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v204/thefirmt/contract.jpg  or the one that was supposed to be here! http://www.fanime.com/registration.html#artists

Another question is what where the days that was release for the 2008 Contracts..
another is what days were release for the 2009 contracts (meaning how long did you put those links as an active link before you close them down [(temporary)]

Another one is how would you considered Table sharing!???I mean, is that allowed? (seriously i never knew you can share a table)

another big question is the wait list! if NO one shows up for the first day and decided to show up on the second day later on...do They STILL have the privalage to obtain the table???
I wont ask for the third day since that begins to die down and I know Friday and Saturday are the only days that are highest Artist alley peak moments!

yes this is for fans by fans alone, but was'nt this also comfirmed that most of them are there for volunteering for obtaining a free pass for fanime by doing some certain hours?....
its not an insult or a threat, its just hard to tell whos a fan and whos taking advantage of it!? very concern here!

My final hope question is..::
IS there any way to get notified that the site will have the contracts release? or how does the wait list works????

I know these are alot of questions but its mostly dirrected towards the audience or Web viewers here instead of the AA staff! I want to know who is really serious on taking a huge step on making their dreams a reality and those who are just.....uhm..... obtaining a certain acheivement for their succession.

its strange how you can register easily from early winter but then all of a sudden it was shut down around jan because of the new site update! not only that but findining the contract from the old site was very hard and un mentionable from before.. Not only that but half the boards of messages from the 2008 threads were completely Pinned or Locked!.
I am not hear to judge or be harsh but im here making a statement to find out how such a demand has increased!
I fear next year is going to be sold out from the very start so if I cannot obtain a table for this year, I might have to camp out for 2010's Fanime A.a Registration !

****its okay if you cannot answer most of those questions, but at least one is already answered..right now I guess the best thing I can do is cross my fingers and reload both my Cellphone and my Computer and hope for the best v-v.****

Thank you and I wish your new team with the best of care for hoping fanime become better than last years incident.....I really hope and wish this year will make a great sudden improvement v_v

I understand the staples are'nt a big thing but to me it can be a serious injury! I will personally deal with this alone and give you the remaining scraps to you guys so you can figure what to do with it!

If you have a staple or drapery thats out of place at your table please just let aa staff know and we will deal with it as best as we can

...I just can't beleive you guys allowed to do pre-registration at the end of the final convention day!.. thats just seem, unfiar! it may be fair to everyone but to me as another customer, that just is'nt right!.....

We have always allowed people who attend fanime the previous year to register and pay for there tables for the next year. This was announced all thought last years convention that we were opening up pre-reg for 2009 on monday of 2008. Im sorry you dident take advantage of this. And i am very sorry about the confusion with the contract, and this goes to everyone. Things in AA have been alittle rough and i, as head, really do appreciate you all bearing with me as i work thought things. We will have the contracts back up and registration back up and on the sight as soon as we possibly can.
In regards to how soon you will know if you have gotten your table, i get the information and the contracts as soon as finances can get them to me, i know were running late with things this year so im going to push harder and inform you if you have a table or not ASAP

i once again want to thank you all for all the interest in AA this year its going to be an amazing year

Aritist Alley Head

Last year i tried to ask for power but the head art admin says they will not be provided at all~!.

This kinda explains alot of why the tables were full. because I did not showed up at the final day due to -trauma anxiety~...

I understand the staples are'nt a big thing but to me it can be a serious injury! I will personally deal with this alone and give you the remaining scraps to you guys so you can figure what to do with it!

...I just can't beleive you guys allowed to do pre-registration at the end of the final convention day!.. thats just seem, unfiar! it may be fair to everyone but to me as another customer, that just is'nt right!.....

Im just going to have to cross my fingers and hope for the best I can registered a table!.....
until then im going to leave my computer on and continue refreshing the page,..

fQuestion and favor!...
i still Suggest you start thinking about what i said about geting the contract from someone else. because thats the easiest way to obtain the contract and then submit it!..I hope you guys meant that june 2008 is when you stop reviewing newer contracts until such a time is reloaded!....
People can get away from finding alternative routes!

okay this was a complete shock since I never knew there was open registrations VERY EARLY BEFORE JUNE 2008. BACK THEN i recall the Site was Small, lacking alot of THings, and most importnat of all, There was only 1 link saying to pre-registered weekend passes,.

HOw was the Tables FULL?, Not only that how was it possible
After waiting for the MAIN website to UPDATE! stating Artist alley registrations. I had to look through the entire Artist Alley section seeing only an info and NO availble contract!

This kinda angers me IN so many disrespectful ways!
I really hope the A.a. Contract is open. and I hope you Administrators learned your lesson on how to Start organizing your Paychecks AND readings! Last year was a horrible MOment and I fear this year it can go worse!

Note: PLEASE update the information since its dated from 2007, Last year Power supply WILL NOT be provided to all artists except those of who are in charge!
ALSO, add a special PLUg blocker to prevent people using their cellphone chargers or Computers being charged since last year my friend was asked by one of the administrators!, it angers me that someone else can get away without while staying there for like 20 minutes and then leave with a full battery. PLEASE add some kind of BLOCKER!(.
(yes im angry and yes im upset..im just shocked without realizing that the tables are sold out and I did'nt heard any info about it!.....)

new question:::::
((((PELASE PLEASE PLEASE!! if you guys are going to stable gun the tables. MAKE SURE THEY DON"T LEAVE ANY ANy improper Stables being lose))))))

r = response
problem = problem

Q: Is the AA sold out?
A: Yes, it was sold out as of June 2008. We have since worked hard to be creative and opened up floor space for additional tables.
R: how was this possible, I understand you can pre-registered again for less than $40, you can pay them immediatly as well, my question is, HOW was it possible to obtain a table WITHOUT the Boe permit of 2009. If I were to preregistered a table I would have to Sign one for 2009 THIS YEAR and 2010 next year!.

Q: How can I register for a table?
A: (see below first) Check here, fill in this, and send it in to the stated address
R: we already know that....its a contract..no worries there

Q: Why is it a broken link?
A: There were some changes we needed to make to the contract. If you already downloaded the 2009 contract, fill it in and send it. If not, wait till the 2009 contract comes back up and fill it in then.
R: or its another way to open up and close, kinda like a water faucet, overflow it and creates a mess, SO i understand why they had to close the link down. I just they re-open it up again!

Q: Can I use the 2008 contract?
A: NO
Problem: I really hope you guys don't use the 2008 contract because I can easily photoshop the 8 with a 9.. or worse....find it from someone who has a second copy!.....BE careful when it is like this! If I were you I would Start accepting mail postal ink stamp of its date release!.. otherwise prepare for alot of copies!

Q: Help on the sellers permit
A: http://www.boe.ca.gov/info/reg.htm
R: more additional help on signing the form is located here::: http://forums.fanime.com/index.php/topic,8365.0.html

Q: If I registerd for a table at 2008, will the contract changes affect me?
A: Yes they will, but you will not need to turn in the contract again.
R: ~no comment~

Final: I want to apologized if this posted thread is hurting any of your feelings but be aware, its just Very hard to find an information and a contract around the site. (back then and today, I just found this out after my friend called and told me a link was made. Its just Hard to beleive there was a pre registration on the day DURING fanime, or after, and I was unaware of this notice!
