I helped run magic at Fanime 2014, but had organizational issues. This time I don't want to take any chances. I figured my best bet was to just sign up with tabletop and run mtg events for them, but the email address I have no longer works. As for being with a store, that is solely because Wizards of the Coast requires it to sanction the events.
Thanks,
Frank
I don't know the details and really should not discuss the details, but we had some headway on that this year. You could try and contact programmingATfanimeDOTcom. If you so not get a reply in 2 weeks, email me at the email in my signature. Its pretty early in the planning process and many of the staff are recovering from con, so responses may be a bit slow, but we'll see if we can get you set up with at least the proper contact person.
I'm gonna lock this thread, unless there is more discussion to be had. Thanks!
