Live Programming and Events / Re: Swap Meet - Best Practices
July 14, 2015, 01:41:04 PM
I know this is a big important issue to add but apparently I accepted card transactions from a few people except ONE which is NICOLE J LAM. I sold nintendo figure to her and now a few months later shes asking a charge back! and today i am still fighting against it!

I STRONGLY URGE PEOPLE NOT TO DO CARD TRANSACTIONS WHATSOEVER (Paypal here / Square) despite i have alot of proof that she was there!

just wanted to add a note that Card transactions are great substitute to sell but there are times where they can BACK stab you so I wouldn't Rely on it 100%

You may want to check out the FAQ from last year's swap meet:
http://forums.fanime.com/index.php/topic,19029.0.html

As a last minute staff member for swap meet last year, I can't say much has changed drastically except for the location, and the assignment process. It used to be that the spots were first-come, first serve, but they are now randomly assigned to prevent combining spaces into a "super-space" and to prevent vendors from abusing the swap meet.

Also, the location is always a work in progress. I think every year we get great feedback on where it is and how we can improve access...last year's swap meet (in case you missed it) had GIGANTIC lines. Line-con wasn't at registration, it was at swap meet. As for this year, we'll just have to see.

We look forward to seeing you!

there is a sign up and it is first come first serve.. but as of now there is NO known information fact about swap meet..

Last year swap meet was made 1 week before fanime! and we are soo lucky to have swap meet appear last year!

Live Programming and Events / Artist Alley: lottery? Jury? First come/first serve? Higher payments?
November 13, 2014, 12:44:15 AM
Quote from: megamanjoe415 on November 09, 2014, 08:43:52 PM
So, looking at the polls, I think it should just be first come first served with a jury selection as a hybrid. There should be some other way to get this done. How has other cons done it? What do you artist want? What do the people want? We need more votes.

AOD is using the Lottery system....and something called "PREMIUM tables" / "regular tables"
I think i had more luck with the first come/first serve system then the lottery. now this year we have more new artists coming to fanime this year, i fear traffic will shut down like how Housing has done.

Fanime 2015 WILL STILL BE using the jury system as before...so my chances are still high but the same time LOW. Since my response from AA was: "We don't have enough tables / we don't have enough space"

Let's face it, Fanime has outgrown San Jose.
A more correct term is that Fanime has consumed San Jose. with each year, it takes more and more of downtown. And now it is going even beyond that.

I've heard staff say they don't want to move because the next biggest place is the moscone in frisco, and it is not exactly to their liking.

I wouldn't mind Moscone, but the decision isn't up to me. :P

The price for moscone is very expensive, and hotels WILL be more pricier than the ones in san jose!.. ALSO even though it's bigger, the venues are going to be hard to seperate from each other.

The biggest problem is traffic, and Raised ticket price!....

MOscone is nice, but i don't think i want to experience another horrible moment like wondercon did! (when san francisco held that)

waitlist never becomes public at all..
its better to have it secretly, but if you manage to be in the waitlist, there may be a slight chance you could get in.

Hey, having one hotel is alot better than having NO hotel!
theres always the room sharing thread but I am guessing you like it better off living in a hotel you admire so much (cannot blame you).

• Introduction:
Hello my name is hachimitsu (Male - Age 32) and I would like to let you know I book a hotel and I have a few friends wanting to stay over.

As of now, I am slowly steadily preparing myself for fanimecon (along with several other conventions).
I really do love to play video games, Cosplay and love to draw. There are times where i had some great success's with artist alley and miserable moments like ....artist alley.
Apparently Swap meet always cheered me up but whenever i got the chance to be the seller, I usually ask the people from my room mates to "HELP ME".

Last year was a blast, but the same time it also created some mixed Feelings on "enjoyment".
I really hope next year will be a better improvement than 2014, but all in all, it wasn't a complete disaster.

My huge interests are:
Kingdom hearts, Legend of Zelda, Magi (because of the genies), Sailor Moon, Pokemon and anything nintendo/sega related.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Amenities :
• Your Own Key
• Coffee Machine (hotel already has this built in)
• Refrigerator
• Wi-Fi Internet access
• Parking access? (this needs to be researched though but i heard its $60 for the entire week but this was last years response)
- Microwave (i'm going to try and ask for one, since I hear this was more of a request service)
- A video game console (still undecided what console I should bring)
- Art / Crafting Supplies
- MORE PLUG OUTLETS!!!(seriously I noticed last year i have no power space T_T)
* Food/snacks (it's still undecided but I need to get something for you guys to have and eat!

I know this is expensive to you but to me, your helping paying the hotel, followed by having your very own key as well
however, Do not pay me yet (right now I am working and trying to calculate some things here and there)

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
• Requirements:
- For once i really like to have a conversation of how your doing, if your okay ya know, but try not to joke when i am in trouble
- I am very stressful and late, so please don't be mad at me, I have a very good reason!..mostly artist alley and gallery
- If I am a messy person, I will clean my mess up as neat as possible, also try to be neat and nice as well O_O!..
- DO NOT BRING COLORED SODAS! they will charge ALOT of money, I learned my lesson after strawberry soda, so just bring clear soda or just water!
- if I feel depress, please cheer me up!. it helps a lot!
* All beds/sofas cannot be ASKED, they are only givin by generosity on my behalf *

• Contact:
~you can private message me
~http://hachimitsu-ink.deviantart.com
( I do have the right to decline offers, please be aware of this )

+ Miscellaneous:
I am hoping to participating on Artist alley and swap meet.
I do get stressed out a lot.
I will also bring some Cosplay materials incase if anything is needed on mending

UPDATE
as of now I can only fit ONE more person but again, I cannot confirm who is going and who is not, so far I am still trying to apply for floor plans here and there.. and so far I think I a running out of space!... The hall space i know is one area I want to claim, because the bed was design for those who have problems sleeping or partially disability.
I am still awaiting confirmation from misachan!

After 3 hours, I finally checked out and got both my rooms but when I logged into the Fanime registration site, my rooms disappeared.
I have the hotel summary and confirmation too but my reservations just aren't listed under my profile anymore.

Anyone else get anything like this?
I just hope I didn't get kicked after I got confirmed.

I DID and it left me with hashtags everywhere!!!!
I think what has happened is because of the internet cache that was left over, resulting to have people think they reserved it but didn't!

Also I got another error saying THIS::

There was a problem adding your reservation. (lock failed on may 22 2015 12:00am. system reports: locking this night would result in oversold inventory). Please call fanimecon housing at (INSert ####) if you need further assistance.

this was written after i tried to get the san jose marriot for friday to monday!

I got thru on the site and booked the hotel, but...it seems like I HAD to charge for my badges to get the booking locked? I don't know if I misread something, or missed something completely, but now my bank account is overdrawn.

sorry to hear that. Yeah I ACTUALLY did the full part of this registration and I WAS VERY certain I have the marriott with me on my account, but when it gets checked out..
a huge hashtag apeared reading

## HOTEL ##
and not the actual registration "OF the hotel" and so far ended paying the badge instead..

THIS year was really difficult... I find it to believe the PHONE LINES are MUCH easier to get into. So as of now I have a hotel for my sister and myself at the hyatt.. only downside is that SHE has the thursday while mines is on friday!...

Fanime hotel registration Is EXTREMELY DIFFICULT that I am beginning to worried how Anime expo hotel registration is the same difficulty as Fanime! (with all the shut downs and what nots!)

as of now.. getting a hotel registration should be easier to apply for but sadly only one hotel remains since fairmont, hilton and Marriott are sold out!

## HOTEL REGIST ### on the top of my badge!

update::

General Convention Discussion / badges for sellers only
November 10, 2014, 02:43:16 PM
sadly the badges now are for those who want to sell their merchandise..
Last year was LAST minute..
it's really upsetting that the last years before for swap meet that it hasn't gotten any attention to any of the staff members of fanime.

The guy who was incharge did his best to bring it to the auditorium (i think thats what it was called).

Also last fanime's (2014) swap meet rules changed when family members has to be split apart. I find this abit dissapointing so hopefully this rule is removed on 2015 (that is if there ever is another swap meet to happen!)

as of now, i think the web developer teams are working hard to get things through.

If I KNow them the most problem they had issue is for them to test if things go through...
its already been 50 minutes adn the only available button that was loaded was during registration.

it's going to be a while but I really advise you follow their twitter/facebook.

I don't want to be left in the dark again like they had when they annouced a backdoor to get in!

Live Programming and Events / SELLERS PERMIT - LOCATION
May 22, 2014, 11:58:37 AM
City National Civic
135 W San Carlos St
San Jose, CA 95113

so is this right? is this the location?

I like how the main page does not provide information, the main forum says "Location is unknown at this time", and one of the users continue to Ask the same question "what do I add for the location of my sellers permit"

Registration / Re: Group leader, artist alley and swap meet vender - BADGE pick up - Where to go?
May 22, 2014, 11:10:16 AM
to be honest, I did not receive ANY emails from both swap meet AND artist alley.. only the registration email of confirmed guests going with me.

Artist alley: i am table sharing with someone so I am not sure how this works since the Main artist is going to arrive late

Swap meet: I only got an email confirming my payment.. that is all..

Well to be fair I doubt the question could be described as "frequent"... ^_^;;

To be safe, I'd go wherever you could get your badge first, then if they don't have it you can move on... Also try emailing the people running the events, they might be able to coax an answer out of reg.

sadly to say but I don't think it would work.
Now that day zero is here, I migth as well talk to registration (in person).

Thank you Admmiral donut for helping me out here..
