    21. Super looking forward to going!
       
    22. I am so looking forward to going. My daughter and I will both enter dolls in the costume contest and we just picked up all the materials today.
       
    23. Registration starts in just a few days, January 2.
      If you're staying at the Hampton Inn and would like to participate in room sales be sure to check the "I would like to participate in room sales" box. Room sales are just one of the additional privileges for those who register online at www.pnwbjdexpo.com
       
    24. Registration begins tomorrow. Class size for the shoe make and take is very limited, so be sure to register early if you're wanting to take this class.
       
    25. I'm going through the registration process now. I'm registering my daughter and myself, do I note somewhere that we're related for the Mom&me?

      Oh, and how do we know if we're among the first 40?
       
    26. I noticed there wasn't a Guardian-level registration this year, is that not going to be offered, or will it be up later? I registered anyway, just to be on the safe side, LOL! :sweat

      Oh, hannaliten, there's a Comments section you can write in once you've paid for your order and it's complete, you might be able to mention there that you're buying for you and your daughter. I wish there was a Sister and Me contest, as I bought mine and my sister's tickets just now! :sweat But I think that's extra-lovely considering what weekend it is. ;)

      .hlp
       
    27. Thanks heidipay, I entered a note!
       
    28. hannaliten and heidipay, yes you are in the first 40. hannaliten, got your note about Mom & me :)
       
    29. So excited to go! I'm bringing my sister too :) I hope I'm in the first 40 also. I registered under Sara Lawrence. How do I find out?
       
    30. I also have registered! I waited up until midnight for the registration to start! So excited!~
       
    31. I know, I was the same way, there wasn't any way I was going to miss the start of the order period! :D Everything sounds so exciting this year, and I've loved every year since the beginning, so I have very high hopes right now! :) Thank-you very much, jyrus, for the confirmation as well, now to start figuring out who's going to put in an appearance over there from the horde. Plus room sales, love it! :love

      .hlp
       
    32. Registered! I hope to bring my trinity, since she should be home by then. The past two years have been a lot of fun.
       
    33. Weee, I am registered and hotel booked. Now, which doll(s) to bring. :)
       
    34. Just wondering, is there a way to have the Mother and Me thing work for a grandmother/granddaughter, or would that not count? I've been putting off registration because I'm trying to get my grandmother up for a visit and she's always wanted to see a bjd convention.
       
    35. HarleyQuinn, sure, that's a great idea. Hope your grandmother can make it.
       
    36. I'm really looking forward to this! I registered on Jan 9th, so probably I didn't get the "first 40" but it would be cool if I did :D

      I hope I can make a costume for the contest!
       
    37. Galacticat, you should have received an email confirming your registration (with info on if you made it in the first 40). Might want to check you spam folder, just in case.
       
    38. [video=youtube;j0G7AXzDrGE]https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=j0G7AXzDrGE[/video]
       
    39. My mom and I are registered, and looking forward to this! Still need to book our hotel room, though.
       
    40. Oh you are right! Actually - the email re the first 40 was a separate email from the registration confirmation- somehow I had missed it :)
      Thanks!
       
    41. There are still a few seats left for the Shoe Make n' Take Workshop. This workshop covers how to make shoes for dolls of any size.
       
    42. The room block at the Hampton Inn has been expanded. If you weren't able to get our group rate, call the reservation line 1-360-405-0200 and use the group code BD5. Really looking forward to Friday's Room Sales :dance
       
    43. Just registered, looking forward to coming. For once not as a vendor.
       
    44. I'm new to the world of BJD and since I live in Kitsap County I am VERY excited to be able to attend this convention, YAY !!! :)
      I just came across the info on BJD Collectasy yesterday and registered.
      Is there a mailing list so I can get advance notice for future conventions ?
      Did I mention I am very excited hehe
       
    45. WELL totally forgot to register but I'm planning to go. With my wife, who is not into the hobby at all but will accompany me to counteract my creepy old man vibe.
       
    46. Gorst, looking forward to seeing you there. There will be a special check-in line for those that didn't register online, and the first 40 will get a commemorative item.
       
    47. I'm all registered but am now trying to decide who to carry around with me! I can't decide between 1 of my mnf's, my PW Elf Tristan, or my Lillycat Loolou... my friend isn't able to make it with me this year so I'll be carrying by myself and don't want to have to juggle too many. Has anyone else decided who they're bringing?
       
    48. I'll be bringing 2 girls I think, plus my girl in the costume contest.
       
    49. I'll bring an Angel Egg doll and a Syb- so I can have them try on wigs and accessories :D

      My custom is looking unimpressive- but I might bring it anyway just because I don't want to be a quitter- and maybe it will make some people feel extra proud of their own stuff :D
       
    50. I'm not sure if this is the best place to ask but I couldn't find a contest-specific Q&A... For the sci-fi scene contest, it says you can only spend up to $50 on it, but does that include costume supplies for the doll(s) that will be in the scene, or only for supplies for making the background\props\etc of the scene itself?
       
    51. Good question. The $50 applies only to the scene and props, not the doll and it's costume.
       
    52. I'm looking fwd to meeting everyone !
      I am so happy to find so many local BJD fans :)
       
    53. Oh man, that's great to hear! I've already spent quite a bit on costume supplies and I wasn't looking forward to trying to do the entire scene under $30... Phew!
       
    54. I wish I knew that beforehand lol
      I already ordered one somewhere else and I could have picked it up right at the Convention, yikes.
      I think it is just for their display one though ? or did I miss something ?
       
    55. It will be the one they display at the Expo. They're only bringing the one, due to the size, as far as I know. So, first come, first served scenario.
       
    56. I don't now much about expos, and I was wondering: is the selling of items in room sales limited to online registration or is going to the room sales limited?
       
    57. xxkittymexx, if you didn't get a chance to register online you'll have an additional opportunity to register Friday afternoon from noon to 7pm in the Sinclair room on the main floor at the Hampton Inn. Both cash and credit cards will be accepted and there is an ATM nearby. Those that registered online, or that register Friday at the Hotel will have the opportunity to sign up for room sales. A list of those having room sales will be posted in the Sinclair room on Friday. Hope that answers your question xxkittymexx.
