First, The Nominoichi is now sold out. All the tables have been reserved and the Stand-By list is now full.
Second, This Nominoichi forum is growing by many posts every day. I suspect we'll be over 9000 by the time of the event! This means there is far too much for us to catch everything quickly. It'd be very helpful if, when you see a post, thread, or comment that you think might be breaking any of the rules to please use the 'report post' option, even if you are not sure, and we will take a look at it. We are very grateful for all your help to keep an eye on things.
Third, Here is a draft copy of the table layout and the buyers entrance for the Nominoichi XII. I would like to remind people that this is only a proposed version of the layout. Any number of circumstances may require us to move a table, row, or even rearrange an entire section. This map is only a guide of where we hope the tables will be.
Fourth, Nominoichi Staff Tables are N184 and N185. They are at the end of the aisle and closest to the main doors. If anyone at the Nominoichi has any problems with buyers, sellers, volunteers, staff, or anyone else please come and at us at the staff tables first. Also if you lose, find, or forget anything at the Nominoichi come and see us at the staff tables. Finally, if you need any help finding a table come and see us.
Fifth, a little nomienclature. Two words we use a lot behind the scenes are buyers and sellers. Buyers are the customers at the Nominoichi, they enter the room at 7:00 and want to go shopping. We have a lot of buyers. Sellers are people who have a tables reserved. Sellers need to get into the room early to set up their stuff. All sellers are on our master list.
Here is a map of the TCC South, or main, building. This shows where the line for the Nominoichi should go. It will be outside, behind the building. This is the line only for buyers. It is not the place for sellers. This line will not move until we open at 7:00. All people in this line MUST have an Anime North badge. If you are in waiting this line and see anyone without a badge, please direct them over to the Convention Main Entrance because that is where registration will be.
Sixth, Only Sellers (i.e. only people who are on the list and registered at a table) will enter through the Sellers Entrance.
Please remember that we, the Nominoichi staff, shall be the only people to admit you into Hall C and that process won't start until 5:30. We aren't even going to be in the building before 5:00. The Sellers waiting area is only for people named on the sellers list. It's not a place for buyers, or helpers, nor anyone else to wait in.
Seventh, Sellers: We sold out faster this year than any other, and sadly that resulted a lot people who wanted to get a table but could not. I've encouraged those people to post here (while observing the rules about not posting about items to sell). I hope that if you do have a full table, and less than three sellers already, and you have some space to share on your table; you may wish to contact those people and add them to your tables group. But, please remember that the deadline to add, or remove, a member of your group is May 14th. After that I not allow any further changes.
Eighth, there will be a more information to share in the coming days. Please remember to check back here form time to time to see it. Also, please don't forget to come back to this forum after the Nominoichi and let us know how we did. Please share what you think went well, what didn't, and if you have any ideas to improve next years event. I know it's a bit soon to think about that now, but don't forget about it later.
Ninth, Although there are a lot of great posts on this forum, there is one I think that always deserves some special recognition. SalisofKnight continues to do an outstanding job of organizing and updating a table index of all the lists sellers are posting here.
While I'm sure others struggle with keeping their own list updated, he has been attempting to stay on top of everyone's updates. All that effort had created a fantastic resource, and one I would recommend everyone, especially new uses, to check first.
Should the heavy traffic on this forum ever temporarily slide it off the front page, you can always find it here:
