You can try the Cons Deviant Art (http://fanimecon.deviantart.com/).
But there is not much in there.

Thanks, I thought there would be more there, but that didn't seem to be the case.  Hopefully something wil show up.  If you come across some more material, please let me know.


Thanks,

I was looking for some official (or even some unofficial) Fanime artwork for PC backgrounds and for some bulletins/posters.  I'm hoping for things like the images in the documents section, but with MUCH better resolution (those are just for web banners, as such).  Can anyone point me in the right direction?  I would be extremely grateful.

I'm a little bothered by this topic.  I have no interest in getting in a flame war, but see people talking abouthe traffic and saying the answer is -pre-registering, yet others say those lines are long too.   (this was my experience.)  THe biggest problem I saw was data entry.  If you want to get all of people's information, DO THAT ON YOUR OWN TIME.  Take my form and money, print the damn badge, and let me go.

Are they sill looking for volunteers to help with registration?

Is there something that can be done about the long lines (and wait times) for registration?  I've been going for the last couple of years, and am astounded how long it takes to get through that process.  I pre-register, which helps, but not a lot.  Unfortunately, tha's not a great option for several in my party, and it amazes me that it takes so long.  I go to a lot of conferences and conventions, and fanime, by far, takes the longest time to get through, and it's not the largest.   >:(

A few thoughts to consider:

1.  Do more things in parallel.
2.  pass out forms for people to fill in advance. (this was done a little bit)
3.  Have people backing up those taking forms/money
4.  Take the person's money, enter their name for the badge, and enter the rest of the form ON YOUR OWN TIME! 

On the 2006 Con, my daughter and I waited in line for 2 HOURS!  That was 2 hours we couldn't see stuff.  And more importantly, it was two hours we didn't spend money with exhibitors.  Multiply that by the hundreds who waited, and you'd have to imagine that it was an enormous amount of lost income for vendors.

Last couple of years were awesome!  However, I heard several complaits (and experienced this myself) that registration lines were awful!!  in 2006, I waited almost 2 hours for some moron to take my money and give me a pass.  Last year wasnt much better.  I attend tons of conferences, and this is (by far) the worst in the registratoion process.
