The tables are being seated in batches and not all 100 were contacted.

I apologize for the assumption.

Ok, just wondering if anyone has gotten any of the top 100 emails yet; times getting rather short and I'm getting rather scared >.>

The top 100 received their emails on Saturday, and were expected to send their table picks within a day and a half.

I love the staff and appreciate the work they're doing, but these surprise deadlines are getting more and more unreasonable! A lot of people don't have access to the internet 24/7.

Thanks for the heads-up, ewu!

Could a link to the contract be posted? I wanted to go back to read through it more closely, but the reg site doesn't really let that happen.

Will the link to artist registration appear on the main page, or here: http://www.fanime.com/registration/?

We're approaching two months before the convention, and any kind of update with solid, concisely-written information would be great. Even a "we're still here and working on it" shout-out would help ease the anxiety I know my artist friends and I have been feeling.

The long periods of radio silence peppered with vague/confusing info don't do much to keep potential participants happy and ready to have fun at Fanime. I understand and appreciate that putting on the convention/Alley is a lot of work on top of daily life, but there are a few hundred of us spending a lot of time nervously checking inboxes and this thread for any tidbit of news. Keeping visible and in-touch with the artists would go a long way!

That said: thank you, ewu, for your continued presence in this thread.

I'm pretty confused, don't know if it's just me.

I've sent off the "AA Group Reg" email, and have notified my group members to also email [email protected] saying that they are part of my group. I hope I'm understanding that much...

So you have our names, then when registration opens, we... buy tables? How does registration work? Is it a free-for-all, or do people who have emailed you get first priority (i.e. they're notified via email where to purchase tables before the rest of the world is)? This is my first time registering, and I'm very unfamiliar with the system, sorry.

Also, will we still need to have our permit numbers when we register? Or do we need to have them by the con? If registration is opening "very very soon," that's not a lot of time for people to get permits, especially if the artist is out of state.

a group of artists is only allowed to reserve up to 10 tables max. And it is 2 tables max per person. So you cant have a group of 3 artits and get 10 tables.

Just wanted to confirm--a group leader can register for up to 10 tables, right? The "2 tables max per person" is about their use during the con, not registration?

I'm asking because I'd like to register for three tables--one for myself, and one each for my two friends.

Edited to add: When will the table price be announced? The permit application does ask for the space rental cost. I could fudge it, but I'd rather not...
