Well.

It's less than a month to Fanime and I'm starting to get paranoid. I'm not in Artists' Alley this year but I would like to do the Art Gallery - the problem is, the Art Gallery seems to be the red-headed stepchild of the con. Year before last the website kept saying the info was "coming" and it never came. Last year the info never made it onto the web site at all, despite the fact that the guy who runs the Gallery gave them the info months before. I have no idea where people were signing up for spaces but they were all full by the time I got there. Keep in mind that since I had a table I was there before Artists' Alley opened. I asked him how I could have signed up and he said "the website." I pointed out that I had searched the whole damn site multiple times. (He was super nice and gave me a space when someone didn't show.)

This year the Art Gallery seems to have disappeared from the website entirely. It used to be mentioned under the Artists' Alley blurb, but now it's gone. The guy said he would be sending out emails to everyone who had space last year, but I've never gotten one. The Clockwork Alchemy site has a page for an Art Gallery, and now I'm starting to wonder if that's the only one. In which case - well, fuck me. My stuff is anime/manga, not steampunk.

I've emailed the Artists' Alley coordinators, but it's all run by volunteers, so.... yeah. Not holding my breath.
