Eric, if an artist finds someone to share, does that mean the artist's account won't be in the lottery for if tables open up? 

[I won't be able to carry all of my merchandise in one trip in my suitcase. What should I do?]

So there was a thing about load-in and the union being involved if we have a lot of stuff.  Are we going to get details on how that will work?

Hello,

The FAQ was updated with that information:

I won't be able to carry all of my merchandise in one trip in my suitcase. What should I do?

Dollys and handtrucks are prohibited. However Artist Alley staff have been able to negotiate for Union assistance to bring their merchandise in to Artist Alley for Artists who are disabled or require more than one trip. This assistance is being provided to Artists free of charge this year. You are also allowed to restock your table each day.

Fanime is fronting the bill on this. Feel free to let us know if you have any other questions at artistalleyATfanimeDOTcom!

Thanks

Since I was looking for where we unload our cars and what times we can have other people do all the heavy lifting, I'll do that.  But I'm probably not the only person wondering.  :)  Thanks!

I can't remember how things went last year.  Did we have to have our badge numbers in advance or were we allowed to wait until the table purchase was confirmed?

Do you know where the link for registration will be posted?

So this may seem like a nitpicky food question, but are we allowed to give away store bought treats?  For example, if I have a jar of lollipops on my table that people could grab.

They won't allow this.  It was a new rule last year, and it's for the artists' protection. 

The year before one of the vendors was giving out candy, and some girl had an allergic reaction to whatever it was.  She sued the vendor.  The rule in artist alley is actually to make sure the same thing doesn't happen to us.

hi, I had a question about the seller's permit and was wondering if anyone could help me? I was googling for help on filling it out and I found this bit on an AX forum:

** The BOE apparently does not process application earlier than 30 days from the selling date. Since the selling date is 7/2, that means they won't take your application for processing until 6/2.

the full thing is here: http://www.anime-expo.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=10712

I know this is from an AX site and fanime may be different, but since I'm pretty sure we do need the permit to register for the table way early, what should I do, has this changed and you can get a permit anyway? I hope this makes sense, I don't want to miss out on a table because I didn't fill it out properly on or time.

thanks!

Fanime is usually pretty good about giving us a fair amount of warning for the day tables will go on sale, and they'll tell us exactly what we need then.  If they do decide to absolutely require the permit number when we register, you will have enough time to print out the rules and go to the BoE in person and explain the situation.  I think the 30 day thing is for mailed/phoned in applications, but you can always call the BoE and ask.  I've always found them to be really helpful.

Will this registration also be through the convention reg page?  I've been rereading old messages and can't find the info right now.

Awesome art, a table cloth and change are the three things that come to mind right now.

...and I'm not positive about the table cloth. I may be mixing up my cons.

what are the measurements for the short and long?

Short ones are 30 inches not including the tail.  Long ones are 7ft, not including the tail.

You can see them on people if you check out my etsy shop.

short ones are $25.  long ones are $35.  :)

ROSE? when did you join?

also.. i think you were the only long-cat seller

'bout...  2 minutes before I posted that.  :)  I was just lurking before.

Oh, and if the OP was wondering, I'll be in AA again this year.

That was me probably.  :)
