The 2010 AA layout. Just about the same as this years. This years has more aisles (6 x 4, instead of 8 x 3. same # of tables) and 6 more tables in the lower left by the "pika pika" thing. The first 312 tables should be about the same.

I'm T221 this year

I might have a map of last year... but unless the layouts the same it won't help at all.

!!
I was just approved!   ;D
My account ID is 361, if anyone is trying to piece together when they'll get approved.

Quatrina: We don't hate u :D

I used to go to Fanime for the Con, but I'm not as in to it anymore. I wouldn't go if it weren't for the AA.

Not to get hopes up for no reasons, but last year I had sort of the same situation. I missed the start of registration (i don't remember by how much), and got put on the wait-list... I'd been talking on the forums, and checking the facebook, but the one time I'm not checking it constanly I missed it.
So, I'm on the wait-list, and its already May and nothing, so I figure I'm not going at all and start making other plans.
On May 17th (what is that... a week and a half before the con?) I got an email saying I was off the wait-list and could register. O_o
I had a lot of finals in the coming weeks, and I hadn't prepared my inventory at all, but I scraped by pretty well considering.

So, if you're out of state... it might not be worth it to hold out for it, but it might be possible.

This ends story time with Sneath. Thank you.

Step 4A: Pay for your Table.
Step 4B: Verify your Attendee Registration
..............................

Step 5A: Paperwork! (AA Table Agreement)
Step 5B: More Paperwork! (Seller's Permit)

It seems a bit weird that we're supposed pay before we see the conditions (in paperwork) that we're paying with regard to.
Not that we haven't seem most everything in the FAQ and here, but it seems a bit out of order.

The table next to me last year had his phone with internet on it and was doing it that way. other than that, good luck.

Also, if you go to http://registration.fanime.com/ and log in to your account, it will show your name and badge ID right there.

OK chibi... you win. Apparently I didn't know my own Badge ID before now either :D

I guess the item # on the receipts is the type of badge you got (pre-, early-, late-reg)? Don't know what else it could be.

[Item # **]

Try looking in your paypal transaction history again.
Mine shows my number.

My email of the receipt from Fanime doesn't have the number, just paypal.

:edit: the info in your transaction history should be the same as the email they sent you, so its not all lost :)

To clarify "do not want food in that room", does that include food for the artists and their helpers?

K. I got a follow up email about selling "destash" and extra art materials.

"Because destash are items that are already existing product, they may not be sold in the Artist Alley.  Since crafting instructions are of your own creation, those are OK on their own."

and the next response when I asked about kits:

"Unless you made those [beautiful pieces of awesome], you couldn't sell them as "kits"."

Bummer! But good to know ahead of time.

Hi Ren!
Should general AA questions (not about reg) be posted in the FAQ thread or here?
Oh well, here goes...

I emailed artistalley[at]fanime.com a few months back, but they never responded, and I know the forums alive. :)

"Can artist alley vendors sell "destash" or kits?
In my case, it would be little baggies of chainmaille rings with and/or without instructions if people want to make their own. I have materials that I want to get rid of, and it would at least cut my losses for unused supplies, but I could see how it could be more "dealer hall", than "artist alley"."

Might have been answered before...
Are there power outlets available?
and/or can people in the first 100 choose a table with power?

Some of my items needs black lighting, and a little LED UV flashlight just doesn't cut it.

cool, thanks for the help.
the livejournal mentions it a bit, but If me and my friend were to both be at the same table, are there any issues with having 2 chairs? I was on another cons site and they mentioned a table coming with 2 chairs, while a half table would only come with one. which got me thinking of allowable #s of chairs and stuff like that.
I think thats it... i have questions about seller's permits, I just dont know how to word them yet.

Me and a friend are hoping to be in the artist alley for the first time. She wants to sell prints, but both of us make jewelery, which is what I plan on selling.
So, is there a guideline for things to sell in general? does it have to be anime related, or a drawing of some sort?
I think its fine, but I'd rather make sure.
