Not sure where I can ask this question so I'll just tack it on here: are standing clothes rack for cosplays placed behind the seller allowed? Can that be considered as merchandise "on the table"? This is specifically for nomi and not fashion swap (iirc sellers had racks for that section in previous years).
Thank you!

I have a question: For those of us aiming to get a half-table, do we go through the same process and, if chosen to be a seller, get paired randomly with someone else who applied for a half-table, or do we do something different? Also, if the heat becomes a bit too much for someone to wear their mask through the entire time, is it okay to take it off for a bit if also fully vaccinated?

First: There are no half-tables this year. The only option is for a full table. It is very likely that we will offer half tables again in the future, but not this time. all sellers can only apply for a full table.
Should you only need a half table, then I strongly recommend that you find another seller to split a table. Please be sure that only ONE person requests a table for the two of you.
Second, the heat will be an issue. It's often very bad in May, and this year we are in July, so I expect it to be much worse. However, as stated before, the vaccine and mask rules that apply to the entire convention will also apply at the Nominoichi. There are NO special exceptions.
As always you should dress light, drink lots of water, and since each table can have up to three sellers you might also want to add a friend as a seller, then they can 'take over' for a bit if you need to go and cool down.

This is specifically for nomi and not fashion swap (iirc sellers had racks for that section in previous years). Thank you! The Fashion swap merged with the the Nominoichi several years ago, now it's one event and sellers can sell both Anime and Fashion goods. It should be possible to set-up a clothing rack, depending on how large it is and where your table is located. If you are selected to get a table then please contact me and we will try to work something out. |

Why are there no half-tables available this year when most people were in favour of them though?

One: The poll was just to gauge opinion, it was not the deciding factor.
Two: For most of the poll, including when the decision was reached, the NO 1/2 table vote was leading almost 2-1
Three: Very late a bunch of 'new users' joined the forum and they all voted YES. But at that time the new rules had been decided.
Four: In total there were only about 10 or 11 1/2 tables before. This year we are planning a new layout that should have about a dozen more tables, so all those former 1/2 tables will now have a the same chance for a full one.
Five: It's also very likely that next year we'll bring back the 1/2 tables, but it's too early to plan that event until this one is done.
