What day and time does the Cosplay Spectacular start? I've been looking over the pocket guide and website and can't find it at all. I found it in the program book but, it just says to check the pocket guide for the times... Maybe I'm just really blind. @_@ I saw someone mention it starting at 5pm in this forum but, it wasn't totally clear if that was for cosplayers or people watching the event.

So, check in and setup is at 6pm for Swap Meet? What about the time for badge pickup? Looking at the Attendee Registration FAQ, it says "Thursday: 7pm – 10pm". Is the time to pick up a pre-reg badge that day actually going to be earlier at all?

Also, I will have an artist alley spot this year, will having my badge marked for artist alley make it so I can't sell in there? (not selling any of my artwork for swap meet, just cleaning out my collection of anime goods :3)

Alright, so I have multiple questions on getting badges for Artist Alley. I've only done artist alley at two different conventions (never Fanime), both with different rules. Here we go!

1. Will the badge work to get me into other events other than the artist alley at the convention, like a regular badge? Or do I have to also buy a regular one?
2. I have two friends that might act as helpers for me. Do they get certain badges for being helpers and are those priced any differently?
3. OR do they just need to get their own regular badges? In which case, they probably should buy them now, while they're cheap.

I think that's all I was wondering about.
