>:( I really kinda mad at how the registration for the artist tables are going. My sis and I and some my friends register as a group. We did everything as most did and we read instruction, follow directions, check out the forums. My sister got on the mailing list; on the day it open, she checked the site and the forum and found the link on the forum. She sign in at 4pm and register for 2 tables and was given a number in the mid of 300's. And we waited patiently for notice of if we got in and check the forums. Then saw that some people got in close to our number, we were hopeful. Then today we found out we were in the lottery for tables and first come first serve. We paid for 4 registration, made plans to get off work and school, spend a lot of time and effort and money to make our art, (I sew and make costumes and accessories so fabric and beads are not cheap) to received this notice after weeks of waiting. We are still in limbo and probably not get in. ???
In 2009, we got in just fine and in 2010 due to a family obligations we did not come to Fanime. but some how between that time the registration gotten more frustrating and what the worse is the waiting. If we would have known that we were not getting in then we won't expend this much effort or have to be this frustrated. I guess we can go to the con and enjoy ourselves but it is bittersweet; I do not know if I will come back due to this experience. :-[
