OFFICIAL 2015 TABLE SHARING THREAD

Post by Tuberat »

Okay, So I regret to say that the alley is officially full.

If you are willing to share space with someone, you are a great human being - there will be instructions to follow.
If you are looking for space from a great human being - this is the place to come to.

PLEASE do not start any other threads about this. please follow these guidelines.

Firstly, you must state very clearly whether you are OFFERING space (and how much you're willing to offer) or if you're LOOKING for space (and please keep your demands/requests reasonable. if someone ONLY has a 6 foot space - and for most people in the alley, that IS the max - they're not likely to even LOOK at your demand for 4 feet - that doesn't mean you have to be stuck at 2, but maybe a compromise could be given)

PLEASE NOTE! URL's are fine if you want to show what you will be bringing to the table or how you plan to display.
NO HUGE PICS in this thread as that will make it hard (or even just clunky) to load! IF PEOPLE ABUSE THIS, I will have their messages DELETED. Last years thread WAS OBNOXIOUS for me to try and sort through or even load. I can't imagine how it was for some less lucky then I with their internet...

Secondly, the person offering space is allowed to seek compensation for the amount of space being given up (BUT THEY DON'T HAVE TO! that is always an option as well) HOWEVER! NO ONE is allowed to accept more money for the space than it is worth. SO DO NOT bother to 'sweeten' your application to gain favor over others by saying "I'll offer you more than he/she is!" cause we won't allow it. There would be repercussions.

Thirdly, If you arrive at an agreement with somebody, then I need to hear about it. And i can't hear about it just from the person who got accepted. I need to hear it from the great human being who is graciously allowing you to share their space (this is a formality to protect people from less than honest folks - of which we don't have any, right?)

Fourthly - be appreciative of the fact that you got space. Not everyone is willing to share their space with total strangers. be respectful of your neighbors and your kind benefactor. do not assume you will have run of the table.

Fifthly - the restrictions of the number of people at a table STILL APPLY! so if you have 2 feet of space and you decide to share it with someone (insane, but who knows!) then you will be UNABLE to have 2 people behind that table at the same time. there just isn't room physically for it to happen. we allow 2 people for every 2 feet of space (meaning that for an 8 foot table you can have 8 people, but only 4 should be capable of sitting back there at any one time - we allow for extra people only so you can get up and walk away for food, panels, bathroom breaks, etc)

Sixthly - if space that has been offered has been taken, please update this thread with that fact. if your space request has been granted, please also update this thread with that fact.

Seventhly (which is apparently NOT a word!)- ANYONE sitting at a table space selling things STILL needs to observe the new tax laws and go through the process as lined out on this page http://www.animeboston.com/exhibits/exhibitor_taxid/

ALSO - no matter HOW you got space, you STILL need to check in at the AA desk when you show up at the con. we will STILL have a badge for you. You are in the alley, all our rules still apply, no matter how you got there.

Lastly - if you have gotten space and you were on the reserve list - we will NOT automatically know this. if space should open up and we contact you then you need to do one or more of the following:

1 - let me know you're all set and don't need the space so we can move on to the next person faster.
2 - let the artist you are with know that you are backing out so they can offer the space elsewhere
3 - And if you take option 2, someone needs to tell me to take you off the table that the great human being allowed you to sit at because you now have your own space and we don't need to make duplicate AA badges.

Good Luck everyone!

1. I am LOOKING for space at a table.
2. I live in the area (20min away) but I got waitlisted, again, and so I am hoping that someone has a little space to spare.
3. I am hoping for at least 2' but technically my smallest display only takes-up about 15" of width and I'm obviously willing to pay for the ammount of table space you graciouly offer
4. I mainly sell sparkly mid to high quality hand-made jewlelry (see my website: http://www.starlightslk.com for examples) I also usually bring a small book of cosplay print offerings (see my society6 for examples: http://society6.com/starlightslk)
5. Also if you decide to share with me you'll get a great table partner who is willing to help sell your items while possibly keeping an eye on your table (if asked) for potty breaks/meals/ect…

I think that's it and definitely feel free to contact me if you have any questions or to negotiate space. :D

Thank-you for your time and consideration! <3

I'm LOOKING for space.

I've sold at AB for the last three years, it's my favorite con to sell at and I'd hate to miss it! I sell mainly fandom fanart prints and original prints. You can see some of my original work on my website at http://www.kikijenkinsart.com/ and fanart on my tumblr at http://kikistiel.tumblr.com/! I draw a LOT of Supernatural stuff. I also have an original webcomic that I will be promoting at the con as well, which you can find here: http://www.idoloncomic.com/!

I'm looking for half of a table to share, but if you have less space you are willing to share with me, I will be appreciate of that as well! I'm very flexible. Of course I will compensate you for the space you share. Thanks so much for considering me!

If anyone is selling a table, even pro row, please contact me as I am willing to buy. However please do so sooner than later so I have time to prepare. Thank you.

Calling all wonderful and beautiful citizens of this earth(exclusively those who have a booth at Anime Boston) I'm looking for a space, please!!

I've been going to AB for many a year now(It was my first), and it's always been a dream of mine, since I was a wee 13-year-old child, to have a booth at this con!

An example of my artwork:

Image

The rest of my art is here: http://hygiei.deviantart.com/ , I sell commissions and prints for the most part, just like most other people doing these things! The main fan-bases I work with are Madoka Magica, Steven Universe, Pokemon ORAS, and Dangan Ronpa.

On top of this, I will sell some physical copies of my webcomic: http://viboracomic.tumblr.com/

Overall, I will take any space possible! I consider myself a very personable, friendly, easy to work with, and overall amazing person, pretty much objectively.

I will pay through paypal!

Anyways, if you're a stunningly beautiful and fantastic person who smells great and has a wonderful taste in clothing(which you are if you are willing to offer me a spot), please email me at ostentatiousstrobili@gmail.com or PM me here! I check both daily.

I am OFFERING space. I currently have offers, so this opening is NOW CLOSED.

My assistant and I won't be at the Alley on Sunday, so we are offering to let someone else use our 4-foot space (for some minor compensation) on Sunday. Yes, the whole four feet, but only for Sunday.

Useful for people who are just trying out selling in the Alley for the first time, people who want to attend lots of other events Friday and Saturday, and people who don't mind only having Sunday at the table.

Contact me at one of the websites in my signature, or via PM here on the forums. I generally go on a "first come" basis for these.

Hi everyone!

I, unfortunately as well, am looking for table space to sell at.

I'll be selling prints, silkscreened prints, tote bags, and possibly t-shirts! I'd love to sell, so please let me know if you're interested in sharing the space.

Here's a link to my squarespace and my tumblr, look through my work and let me know if any *SPARKS FLY*. or something equally as anime.

Hello, I'm Zach, and I'm looking for 2-3 feet of table space.
I applied for the artist alley, but was put on the waitlist. I've been wanting to sell at a convention for many years, and I finally have the chance at Anime Boston. I only need 2-3 feet of space, and I would be happy to help the other person at the table sell, organize the table, and help them with whatever they need to do.

Examples of my artwork are: http://brojima.tumblr.com/tagged/my-art and here: http://wakeofthewinds.deviantart.com. Contact me using either the message system on here, or my email: thesuicunewindwaker@live.com.
I'm willing to negotiate payment and space for the table: if it's only for one-two days (although all 3 days is preferred) I can also do it as well.

I've sold at AnimeUSA and Katsucon before but never at AB which is a shame because i love AB! I've been an attendee for multiple years! I think its a great con! Also one of my roommates got table space and I want to beat him up but like in a friendly competitive way by selling more prints than him.

HMU AT isellhotdogs@gmail.com OR http://meruz.tumblr.com !! or PM or uh....?? twitter?? I guess whatever you feel comfortable with! I am friendly and will not bite or leave food crumbs all over the hypothetical table we share or anything like that! I promise!

Hello, I'm Meg and I'm a potter looking for table space. I make steins, cups, goblets, bowls, and more decorated with cats, references to games of all kinds, cute robots, etc. I'd like to whip up some noodle bowls and sake sets specifically for AB! I honestly would only need 1-2 feet of space to have 6-10 pieces out at a time - OR - intersperse them with your work; you can hang earrings off my cups, sit plushies in my bowls - play off of each other to make a more fun, inviting display :)

I am willing to pay per foot (or whatever), in accordance with established prices (I think that's $20 per?). I will help with setups/breakdowns, work with you on setting up a great table for both of us, and be a fun, responsible table partner. And if you need to run to the bathroom or grab some food, I can watch over your wares if you're comfortable with that.

I've only got pictures of pots in process right now as it's been awhile since I've had studio access: http://and-enigma-ran.tumblr.com/post/110585693010
These guys should be all glazed and ready to go in a week or so - I can post finished pics as soon as they're done!

Please contact me at drinancraft@gmail.com if you'd like to talk about sharing!

This offer has been rescinded. :mrgreen:
Hi everyone, I myself am a potter and cartoonist, and I am OFFERING space, but it is part of Anime Boston 2015 dealer's room.

I have a corner booth in the dealer's hall, shaped like a 10' by 8' rectangle.
I'm willing to give up 6' x 3' of display space of this dealer's hall booth, like so:

http://i.imgur.com/7VG2xl2.jpg

Your display must be inward-facing and all supplies must be able to tuck under your table or space (within reason).
I will be bringing a 6' table to use, and I will arrive on Thursday for setup. (the booth comes with an 8' table, of which you will have 6')
A badge is included in this space, but it will be your responsibility to apply for and submit a Mass tax ID for legal vending.
I will also be purchasing 500W electricity for this booth, which you're welcome to share with me, included free with the booth space.

What I seek in return is not money, but I am SEEKING
---> 4' of table top & display space at an Otakon Unlimited or Normal table.

My comic book (only available as a book): http://skimlines.storenvy.com/products/ ... ch-issue-1
My drawing work: http://skimlines.deviantart.com/gallery/5276160/Fan-Art
My pottery work: http://skimlines.tumblr.com/tagged/pottery
My setup generally looks like: http://skimlines.deviantart.com/art/Hav ... -481868753


Preference will be given to fellow print artists, and to people who produce comic books, due to space limitations.

Serious inquiries to skimlines@gmail.com
with a description of what you do and what you plan to bring.
or fb msg at https://www.facebook.com/skimlines


Please note that I will seek the approval from Anime Boston dealers before the share is official. ^^

Hi, I have a set of 4 MAGI postcards I'm looking to distribute for free at the event.
ImageImage
This is the pixiv version I uploaded, I can't find my files of the postcard version.... it's basically this though. The other two files I can't find either, they're on my old PC.
They're a standard postcard size, and I've got a small box full of them. Having free things at your table might attract some visitors? Though I really can't say, more just if you're interested in having something like this in a corner of your table.

Hello! My girlfriend and I are joint artists and we sell prints, buttons, jewelry and hair accessories! We are looking for whatever space you can offer to us and we would pay immediately for our share of the table when cleared by Anime Boston! We would be fine helping out as well and would not mind manning the table if you wanted to look around or get away from the table for a little bit. We got wait listed and we usually sell at small cons so we would love to sell at AB since we go there every year! Send me an email to aiixael@gmail.com if you're interested in letting us share your space! Thank you :))

Hey everyone! Yet another artist looking for a table space to share :) My current setup requires almost nothing on the table itself (and can completely sacrifice table space as I now have a display setup that can sit behind us) so if you're a crafter and only require the table, all I need is a space to set up my backdrop :) This doesn't mean I wont share with illustrators, and if that's the case I can share half of my backdrop for half of the table. Examples of my work can be found here on my Tumblr: http://penelopebarbalios.com.com as well as my Official Facebook page: http://facebook.com/pbarbart . I'm very tidy and good company, bring snacks, and hygienic (which I hear is important, lol) so shoot me an email at PBarbalios@gmail.com if I sound like a good table-sharing candidate for you :D

Hi! I'm an artist looking for space. I'd only need a minimum of 2 ft, and would be selling mostly original, self-published comics along with several prints.

Samples of my work can be seen on my website: http://www.eunnieverse.com/
And on my tumblr: http://eunnieverse.tumblr.com/

If you wouldn't mind having me at your table, please email me at eunnie(at)eunnieverse(dot)com!
