Oh! And I meant ot say - Anarahk and I found people to share tables with. Yay!

Well, never have I been to Fanime or even  a four-day con before, but wikipedia says Fanime Attendance last year was 12,000 people, so I'd expect around 12,500 this year.  In comparison, AX is around 42,000.

hope everything works out to find a nice person to share but uhm...i got a huge bad feeling that you guys may need to add a permit with the person who registered....
not sure how it works but I really hope eveyrthing works out T_T!......

Question:::::
I am very worried about materials and i wanted to know price ranges from last year..
So far heres the price ranges i need to know but i cannot explain it in details::
how much people bought stuff ranging from:::

$3-$7
$9-15
$20+

Need to know this because i am running out of supplies and cash >_<!..

We're both in the process of getting our own California Seller's permits.  The office contacted me today and said I'd have it within the next week.  So, yeah, I mean, other than plane tickets and tables, we really are all set. D:

And uh... if it helps... On average, I spend about $60-100 on materials.  Since I'm hitting Fanime and Akon in one go and re-working a large portion of my inventory, I'm expecting it to get to somewhere around $300.  As for the prices I sell for, I wait until the con to actually decide.

Hello! :D

Its my first time at the AA, third time at Fanime and I just got a table. I wouldn't mind sharing it. But, please contact me for some questions.  However, I haven't gotten a seating chart on where I'm going to be located.

I really would like to meet you guys in person, you guys have some incredible stuff! ^^ 

Really? Ah! Thank you so much.  You can contact me via deviantART or email me at [email protected] - i'm very bad with forum messaging services.

Woe! I'm no artist and will not have a table, but I hope you get one, I would like to meet you :)

:D hey, moony.

Unfortunately, lol - it's only going to happen if we both find tables!  Really soon.  Plane tickets are unforgiving, and it is way too close to deadline to be joking around right now for us.

[Is anyone out there willing to share?]

Yes, everyone, Fanime is out of tables.  At least, from my perspective. 

"Hi there

thanks

AA Head"

Is anyone out there willing to share?  My friend and I need to know if it's worth paying the $300 plane ticket to fly across the country from our little Pennsylvania solely to be in the Fanime AA - meaning we can't risk showing up on Day 1 and praying someone doesn't show up.  We were counting on this for a substantial portion of our summer income. :(

We each need at least half a table (3 ft), but we don't mind being split up, say, across the Alley.  Fanime would be the 11th con I've AAed at (and her 8th), so suffice to say, if you're new, we can teach you a lot - from art tips to business tips.  We've worked large and small cons, notably Otakon, Anime Boston, Katsucon, and AnimeNext.  We are highly organized and will bring our own PVC rigs and help you display your work.  We are excellent table partners and will actually SELL your stuff while you're off at the Dealer's Room/Bathroom/etc. rather than just "watch" it.  Remember, we BOTH need space - neither of us is going to travel to California alone.

We are part of a larger east coast collective which includes http://prodigybombay.deviantart.com , http://tirael.deviantart.com , http://scadelaide.deviantart.com , http://betrayal-and-wisdom.deviantart.com , and more.  Seeing as Fanime and Anime North occur at the same time, we've split up and are scoping out both cons for 2009, so if you're looking for someone else from our posse to come in 09, please give us a chance! ;D (Plus, Anime North hasn't been too favorable on us, so we're really counting on Fanime.)
