Anime Expo AA

They jacked the price to $100 per table for 2009. Artist can only get one table T__T;;;
Freaking AX...why so expensive...It doesn't help that the area the con is located sucks so much....

Out of curiosity, when do you have to register if you want a table at AX? =\

[identity profile] gem2niki.livejournal.com 2008-10-14 09:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Sometime in January. You're going? :D

Still have to check out my schedule, but I really want to get a table. I will definitely try to make Fanime though (...when's registration for that? o_o;)

That sucks. D: Conventions are always so expensive...

But I guess that means you'll be going again next year? :D

And they're freakin' keeping the AA in stupid Hall G where nobody knows where the heck is!!!

I'm really upset too.. I feel like they kept all the worst suggestions that were made, instead of keeping the ones that would be more productive. Like AA being in the same room as Dealer's.. It may be shorter hours, but you get alot more traffic.. Or heck, use that front rotunda entrance area for the AA!

Well, hopefully, next year people who been there 2008 will know where it is. You're coming back next year? :D

GEEZ! D: I always thought the bigger and more well-funded the con, the cheaper the tables! T_T

[identity profile] gem2niki.livejournal.com 2008-10-15 06:58 am (UTC)(link)
Your icon is awesome <3

Apparently, the bigger the con, the more expensive everything is...

LOL oh Rob Liefeld XD (I love the eye creeping off to the side and the, like, millions of teeth in that guy's mouth.

That's such a rip! I mean like, Fanime's AA tables are half the price of Yaoicon's tables. For TWICE the number of days, too! D:

[identity profile] gem2niki.livejournal.com 2008-10-15 08:17 am (UTC)(link)
LOL I remember reading your post about that artist haha.. OMG SO BAD!!!

Yaoicon is expensive....and it's a small con...

How conventions price things don't make sense!!

[identity profile] vejiicakes.livejournal.com 2008-10-15 08:23 am (UTC)(link)
Yaoicon registration is more expensive too! (I think Fanime upped theirs by $5 this year at pre-reg, but.. hey, that's still four whole days.) That's why I figured that the bigger the con, the more funding it had, and the more it could afford to pad the attendee's fees! D:

[identity profile] asaphira-sachi.livejournal.com 2008-10-14 11:13 pm (UTC)(link)
@A@;;; WOW... must have been due to the whole Ramy drama that happened this year, and they're being much tighter on giving away tables.

[identity profile] kixies.livejournal.com 2008-10-15 12:02 am (UTC)(link)
Oh boo at the price! I guess it's okay if you share a table... but the location really does suck... I can't say the income is that great... although I guess it's better than Fanime? Fanime is so much cheaper though.

I'm sad because AA really ties you down to the table. I wonder what they're going to have this year! I hope May'n and Nakajima Megumi could gooo~ And Yoko Kanno and Sakamoto Maaya... /horrible XD

AGREE. I missed out on a lot of event this year T__T;; Kinda wish I could cosplay and run around.

May'n and Nakajima would be soooooo cool *A*

I kinda stopped going to AX mainly because of the high costs (as well as the crowds)... Just not my thing anymore. =/

However, I might drag myself for 2009 because I have this need to cosplay as Karen from Code Geass. XD

[identity profile] gem2niki.livejournal.com 2008-10-15 06:55 am (UTC)(link)
Bunny!Karen? :D

It kinda stop being fun when its just selling art....It was fun cosplaying when I first went to AX.

[identity profile] lucathia.livejournal.com 2008-10-15 07:24 am (UTC)(link)
That's why you should continue cosplaying!!!! And spend less time selling stuff. =P I'm wondering if I should wear one of my old cosplays for Halloween. Would that be weird? 0___0;; Maybe I should just be a black cat like usual.

[identity profile] midori-kou.livejournal.com 2008-10-15 05:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Lol! I was thinking doing a whole weekend of Karen in all of her looks... Totally forgot about Bunny Karen. However, I think my fiancee would kill every guy gawking at me. ^^;

prices of stuff goes up when everything goes on inflation just the way the economy works just also means u hafta sell ur stuff at a higher price to offset the raises in prices for you to be there

[identity profile] dgm-allenwalker.livejournal.com 2008-10-15 06:35 pm (UTC)(link)
This is so unfair!! T__T We can't have half a table????? I hope they change their mind. OTL I was planning on going...OTL OTL OTL

Holly hell man. That seriously doesn't make sense that they shot the price up for that. Since a-lot of people pay out of their pockets for cons in the first place. :/ convention pricing, a magical thing it is.
