I'm trying to plan ahead (way ahead) for getting a table at potential conventions (anime or comic book), but I'm having a hard time finding information on any over here on the West Coast. I really only know of three near my state off the top of my head XD. Does anyone know a good site that lists these kinds of conventions by region? Or, better yet, do you know of any cons on the West Coast of the US? Any help at all would be greatly appreciated ;__;

Thanks so much :D

As far as anime conventions go I've been attending Fanime Con in San Jose, CA, for the past 10 or so years. And let me tell you, it's grown A LOT. This is held over Memorial Day weekend every year. The artist's alley is well laid out and in a good location (right next door to the dealers room, very high traffic area) but it's HUGE. Many, MANY tables and they sell out fast!

This year I'm going to try to attend Image Expo. It's pretty new (if I'm not mistaken, this is their first year). This one is located in Oakland, CA (but not the scary part ;)). This is held at the end of February. It's a general comic convention but it sounds promising! One good thing is the artist's alley tables are pretty reasonably priced and when you register for one they include a con pass.

There's also Sac Anime in Sacramento, CA. It's an anime con held twice a year, in January and September. Not super big as far as I know. If all goes well I'm hoping this'll be the first con where I'll get a table! The tables are pretty cheap but a weekend pass isn't included in the price.

The last one I'm familiar with is Ape Con in San Francisco, CA (CA again?? Guess where I live!). While I've heard good things about this convention in the past it seems to be having problems in recent years. AND the tables are EXPENSIVE. I was going to try for this one but... I think I'll wait a year to see if it improves.

There are many more cons but these are just the ones I have immediate knowledge of. :)

Nice to meet you, BTW, and thanks for sending all those hits my way! Your PW ad spaces was one of my most successful for a while. ;)
