Official Artist Alley info

[lillychan09]

I am waiting to hear back from the Artist Alley Director. Since Chris is going to be in the artist alley well with his assistant Sam, my guess is you can check in with him at some point. I'm in hopes that once we get a floor plan down it will be just the simple matter of assigning people tables and we can then post them online for you guys to check out.

Hi Mike

Any word back on the Artist Alley Director on when for us to be there by on Friday we have about 2 weeks left before AC. I know you've mention in another posting here on the forum about checking in the morning, but I'm trying to figure out what time should my friend and I should be there to set up on Friday. I've got my answer on the opening ceremonies etc, but I still like know on the Artist Alley part.

thanks,
~Lilly-chan

Everything should be set up by noon, probably earlier.

Just wondering if there was any way we could see a list of the artists that will be there? Obviously, for a couple reasons, lol, like to verify that we ourselves are on the list, to see if there are artist verified as well that we want to request our tables near, and just cause I'm sure all of us, and even non-artists want to see the talent that will be there this year <3

A lot of cons post the list of artist up on the site, but since the way that we signed up for tables, we weren't really asked for information, I'm extremely worried about the status of my table and all that. I'm used to them having us submit it through e-mail or a form, with information like Artist/Studio name, real name, website, badge # (or option to pay for badge at same time), etc...I just don't want to find out when I get there that I can't claim my table for whatever reason @_@ It's getting close to con time, so major stressing!

I also have a question on my table - there's no space to request power or things like that when we pay for the table, but I need it for my laptop & printer. I'll bring a power strip and I can bring an extension cord if I need to, but I still need some place to plug in. If you could let me know if there would be power available, even if it costs extra, that'd be great! Thanks tons!

If you bought it through paypal, paypal sends your address information when you buy things, so you should be able to verify it that way (though my paypal address and the address on my license are not the same . . . ) Also, you should have a receipt in your inbox from "Gamers Evolution Expo" that has a print-out ticket for your registration and table. At least, I did . . . maybe check your spam?

ACross 2010 is still a little ways off, but I had some questions/suggestions about the AA.

First, I didn't notice it anywhere, but was electricity available last year? And is it known if it will be available this year?

Second, I remember last year that to register for the AA, you had to use Paypal (at least when my sister and I were still thinking we would be able to make it this was the case). Would it be possible to have a mail in option this year? And to go along with that, will tables and badges be purchased together again this time, and if so, is a system being worked out to accommodate for helpers/partners (it was a little confusing last year)?

Anyway, the date change really works to my benefit, so we're hoping to be able to come this year (my sis lives near there ^_^). I've seen video of the AA, and it looked pretty darn nice for a 1st year con, and the reviews have been positive as well. It'd be so nice to be able to attend a local con! ^_^

I just have one question. I was wondering for this years artist alley if you were going to notify people who had tables last year so that if we were wanting to buy a table again we could or if it will be on a first come basis like last year?? Thank you.

I was also wondering this. I have another question too: Are we able to buy more than one table? From last year's experience, the table space is rather small, so I was hoping that I'd be able to get two (adjacent obviously) tables. Thanks!

Heya, folks just going to answer some of the questions as best I can since we are still in the planning stages. As of right now the AA is set up in the same location but the table orientation may be different. There are electrical outlets there but we will not be providing any extension cord. You will have to bring those yourselves if the nearest one is out of range, we expect everyone to be adult about this and share as best they can. We will not guarantee a spot a spot is near but I can say (ask anyone who attended last year) that if you really need it you can get it. Once we open up registration for AA you can PM myself, the AA director or the Con-Chair for a mailing address though the cut of for mailing will be a week before the online payment to insure that someone doesn't mail out a payment and a table is not available.

As far as notification, I'll be posting on the board as soon as registration is available. I will see if we can notify last years artists, it will be a matter of finding out who retained the information and if they have time. As far a multiple tables, I don't see why not at this point but I will confirm it from Chris, Jo and Marlon and see if its cool. We did sell out last year, and I don't think we can add any more tables

One way might be to move the registration booth into a different place, that would free up a lot more space in the AA hall. That's just an idea though =P
