1. It has come to the attention of forum staff that Dollshe Craft has ceased communications with dealers and customers, has failed to provide promised refunds for the excessive waits, and now has wait times surpassing 5 years in some cases. Forum staff are also concerned as there are claims being put forth that Dollshe plans to close down their doll making company. Due to the instability of the company, the lack of communication, the lack of promised refunds, and the wait times now surpassing 5 years, we strongly urge members to research the current state of this company very carefully and thoroughly before deciding to place an order. For more information please see the Dollshe waiting room. Do not assume this cannot happen to you or that your order will be different.

      Though you are not required to stay in the adjacent Hotel at JR's we have 50 rooms set aside strictly for us and they will remain available to us until August 7th. If you intend to stay within the Convention Center Hotel, all you have to do is call JR's Executive Inn of Paducah and make a reservation.

      Badges will begin mailing around the first week of July.

      This is the LAST MONTH! for early registration. After this badges will only be available at the door, there will be NO MORE Tea Party tickets sold, and it will be very difficult to reserve a vendor booth. (I may still allow it up until August, but the fees may be more than normal.)

      Right now I'm having a SPECIAL on vendor and display booths. Send me an email to find out details!!
       
    3. !!Never before seen dolls!!

      I've just been informed that a company is going to send some unreleased dolls to Resin Con!! It's entirely possible that we will receive these dolls even before they hit their website for people to buy!!

      And no, I'm not telling what they are...(mwahahaha) get those registration requests in!!
       
    4. OK there are TONS of messages flooding in and I can hardly keep up.

      Some FAQ's.

      No I will not tell you about any of the mystery dolls or companies. This is both for the surprise of the convention itself and for the privacy of the company. It was told to me in secrecy and though I might tease with it, I really cannot say. If the company sees fit to release before the con, then I will reveal, otherwise it must stay under wraps. (My PM box was filled to bursting and turned red just from this question alone. @.@)

      No you do not need to be present to win raffles, give-aways and such on Saturday. Please give us lots of contact information and we'll make every effort there is to get your gifts to you, even if you miss the announcement. However, be prepared you may be asked to pay shipping. Especially if you win a doll.

      Freebies that are not raffles will only be available to those who pre-registered unless otherwise specified. We will have lists of those who pre-registered for the event and their names will go in for special drawings. If you do not register early, you are not eligible for these prizes.

      There will be full itineraries available in many places. There will be goody bags for everyone and they will contain detailed lists of events and exact times for the announcement of give-aways. There will also be lists of events on doors and other places for people to read. When in doubt, there will be plenty of staff walking around including myself. Just grab me and ask, or ask someone else. If they don't know, they'll find out for you.
       
    5. Answering another quick question -

      No it is not too late to buy raffle tickets.

      Raffle Tickets are $2 for the white skinned IL each. (Limit 20 per person)
      And $.50c for the lolita SDgirl outfit. (Limit 20 per person)

      At the con the raffle ticket prices will rise to $4 and $1 with limits of ten per person.
       
    6. As far as I can tell, you still have not told us where this con will be held, as in what state in the mid-west. This is all I can find:

      RESIN CON 2007!
      A Mid-West Doll-Con
      September 7th (Teaparty) and 8th (All Day Conning Experience) of 2007!

      This is all I can find at the forum, too.

      Please let everyone know WHERE this con will be - the state, the hotel, etc., so you will get more people interested in attending.

      Ah, I FINALLY found it in the Mission Statement. So why don't you post it in your adverts?

      Everyone - this con will held here:

      JR's Executive Inn, Paducah, Kentucky
       
    7. I am sorry if the place does not show up clearly. This question has been asked many times over the past year and it keeps getting buried. It is actually in the first page of this thread as well...

      It also says above in the hotel information...

      And in the Resin Con forums it can be gained in General information a thread called 'Venue Information.'
      http://resincon.free-forums.org/resincon-about3.html

      As you stated it's also in the Mission Statement.

      I am terribly sorry if there's any mix-up or things are not organized in the best way. I'm the only person that works to make the announcement and keep the information up to date.

      I'll strive harder to make things more coherent.

      Thank you for your interest!
       
    8. It is now posted at the top and the bottom of the first post in this thread. I'm sorry for any mix-ups or misunderstandings. I'm afraid I've taken for granted that not everyone has been following the progression of this con over the past year.

      Take care and thank you for your interest!
       
    9. The Saint: How can I help? See if any of these sources can be of any use.

      Sponsorship: I'm treasurer of CETA [www.cetaarts.org]. We get about $15K per year to sponsor programs within Grant County. Kentucky however has numerous programs for sponsorship.

      Website: You should have your own domain name...it's about $9/year and I know someone who builds web pages from note pad.

      Friends: I have friends who are Chinese, Korean, and Japanese. My Japanese friend I haven't heard from in awhile, but my Korean and Chinese friends I see almost everyday.

      Donation: I would be happy to donate a matching jewelry item for doll and owner, even if I don't have plans to attend. Some of my jewelry can be seen at blackicepond.deviantart.com, which is where I come from when stumbling across the fine art of BJDs.

      HTH

    10. Thanks for the input! I've been checking into some Kentucky programs, mostly Paducah City Commerce and such, since that's where the event is taking place.

      We actually -do- have our own domain that was donated by someone from DoA. It was a fantastic package and we're grateful to have it. I actually have a professional website building company working on it, but they're doing it for free so it's taking a while. It should be up and running soon.

      We'd love to have all the translators we can get! If they want to come, all they have to do is email me. Possible translators, security and other such workers do not have to pay. They have access to everything for free, just so long as they help out a little. However, they aren't eligible for give-aways unless they pay entry fees.

      A matching jewelry set would be wonderful! That's very generous of you. You can reach me at [email protected] .

      Thanks so much for all the suggestions and interest!
       
    11. Resin Con official '.com' site will be available for viewing soon.

      The next week or so will mark the LAST CHANCE TO EARLY REGISTER! Get those registration requests in!

      And also, don't forget to pick up some raffle tickets for our many great give-aways!

    13. I was just wondering where you would be considering having next years Resin Con/if you planned on having one.

      I'd love to come to it, but I doubt I'll be able to. :(
       
    14. IF! and this is a VERY big IF...I decide to do it again next year, it will be in the same general vicinity. It all depends on the success of this year. Plus I just...I really don't know if I will have the patience to do this again. We will have to see. Thanks for the interest!


       
    15. Due to scheduling difficulties I have just been informed DollFair International will not be able to attend. I'm very sorry for the inconvenience. They will be sorely missed.
       
    16. Check out some of the sights and sounds of Resin Con! A video sneak peek!

      I composed this video myself from my own pictures and the music is Sasuke's Struggle (yes the Naruto sound track woot!)

      I also just received a package from Dolls and Friends. I expected them to send me some fliers to pass out but guess what else we got??? COUPONS!!! While supplies last, con-goers will get a $5 coupon to the Dolls and Friends website!!!
