    2. I had fantastic times at the previous CCBJDs... but I just checked my calendar and I definitely can't make it. :(

      It's a fun con. I hope it's very successful! :)
       
    3. Kielin That is Great :)

      april Sorry to hear that :(
       
    4. I had so much fun at the previous cons! Sadly, I can't make it this year because of a previous commitment. Good luck and I hope to go again in the future :D
       
    5. Woot woot! Glad you are organizing this. I was actually wondering if this was going to happen and looked at your website awhile back. Looks like a great venue! And you always do an outstanding job. I will for sure attend, if not try to offer more.

      EDIT: I also like your various options for the more budget minded! And the various other offerings and events. Looks like a super promising start.
       
    6. Thank you! Since we have the space this year we were able to offer more vendor options and cut the admission down drastically.

      Yes the venue is pretty spacious and a great area! I am really happy it is so close to BART too!
       
    7. Ooh~ This sounds pretty interesting. How many usually vendors are there?
       
    8. Thank you very much! I'll be checking all of their websites now~
       
    9. I have the vendor list from last year somewhere on the site too. This year we have some repeat vendors but there has been more interest from new vendors. I just opened registration yesterday and have 3 vendors I need to put up on site.
       
    10. :DPlease welcome out newest vendor ,
      With a little bit of everything for your BJD's, Please welcome

      :fangirl:[​IMG]
       
    11. How's the parking?
      Like is it pay to park, or are there time limits or anything? I haven't been to Orinda since I was like 7. lol
       
    12. That is one thing we always make sure there is plenty of! There is free on site parking as well as street parking and a parking garage to the right of the venue. In addition to that there shopping centers a block away ( not the small one across the street though, that one tows people they told me. Plus BART is only a few minutes walking distance http://www.ccbjd.org/location.html
       
    13. What!! This is right next door to me! I'll be coming and I'll bring my local dolly crew too! How exciting!
       
    14. Hi Allurose that sounds great!

      Are you coming as a vendor or attendee? ( We do offer people the option to split tables)
       

    15. I might vend, depending on the table price. I would be selling doll jewelry, as shown in my etsy (link in my sig). I would be open to splitting a table, since my items are pretty small.

      How cool that there is a con so close to me! :D

      EDIT: I found the table prices. Very reasonable! Count me in for vending and the dinner too. I'll probably split my table with someone. :D I'll send in my registration soon.

      I've invited people in the East SF Bay BJD crew group and the Norcal Sacramento BJD group on facebook.
       
    16. WHAAAAAAAAAAAT?! Are you serious?! Ohhh, that is SO awesome! It's very close to my workplace ... and my home. Oh, I will DEFINITELY mark this on my calendar. Orinda is a really small town, but it's also a really nice town, too. :)
       
    17. Allurose That is great to hear and thank you for the shout outs. I was thinking about organizing a casual meet up for local people who are interested in vending but it is their first time or they have questions in person. Just a thought.

      Crpsaiyan That makes us BJD con folk very happy to hear :) I know the last one we had in North Bay was hard for some people to get to since BART doesn't go up there . so we wanted to make sure to find a venue that people could walk from BART too. You are fortunate though since you live so close!
       
    18. We are happy to announce our newest vendor who carries a variety of resin Asian BJDs and BJD clothes at awesome prices!

    26. I'm so excited for this! This will probably be my first time bringing a BJD to a convention, and it will definitely be my first BJD convention :) I have a question, though, will it be possible to buy tickets at the door, or do I have to buy them online in advance?
      Thanks!
       
    27. I went to your first convention in Fresno and had such a wonderful time! Your vendors always have such a great selection of clothes and wigs and every sort of dolly goodies, and it was so much fun to talk with other attendees and see all the gorgeous dolls they brought along. We're going to San Francisco for the weekend so we can come to this year's convention....can't wait! :D
       
    28. Hello I am so glad to hear that! Well you will be among friends who love and are excited about BJDs!

      In my opinion it is better to preregister because its cheaper and you get a gifty bag.

      Preregister 10$ plus gift bag

      At the door No gift bag 15$

      MorningsInAikmaar

      That is great ! We are working to making this the best CCBJD ever!:D
       
    29. Great! Thanks for letting me know, I'll be sure to buy online :) Can't wait until June!

    38. Yay! Those are some nice wigs!
       
    39. I'm so excited! I didn't even realize this event was around anymore, but after visiting a local doll show this past weekend I saw a flyer for this convention at one of the booths and it instantly got my attention. Best part is, it's on my birthday! I'm so excited I saw that flyer, I'm definitely going to try my very best to go, it's been so long since I've really immersed myself in the hobby and I think this is a fantastic way to reintroduce myself :D

      Inkybear: Yes you will definitely want to make plans to come to this years CCBJD because we will shortly be making a super awesome announcement that will be a first for the bay area!
       
    41. Question about the "contest": Is it a theme of some sort or an anything goes? I only ask because there is not that much information on the website about it.
       
    42. Your website isn't accessable and I tried it on two different computers and my phone; I get this message - [h=1]Forbidden[/h]You don't have permission to access / on this server.
      Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
