Title: Dealer's Room / Exhibitor's Hall
Post by: Lysanna on August 30, 2006, 02:34:35 am: I searched for information on this, and didn't find any, so I have to break my two-year silence and ask the most important question regarding anime conventions...

When does the dealers' room open? How big will it be compared to last year's?

Sorry if I missed a thread where this question has been answered. I appreciate the help though.

I know only because I researched the origins of the name and term Chapman. It's from the old English Cheapman one who buys and sells, after the french invasion of 1066 it was replaced by the french word Merchant and chapman ment a small time travelling peddler. I have some old fairy books from around 1890 that refer to going to a Chaptown to find a Chapman to get supplies before the adventure.

And yeah my research had come up with Lyrics from bedknobs and Broom sticks

Post by: TomtheFanboy on August 31, 2006, 12:33:16 pm: I played in an RPG once where we helped start a war between Jareth the Goblin Kind from Labrynth and the King on the Island of Naboomboo.

It was pretty cool.

Post by: Digitalsparknit on September 06, 2006, 04:32:29 am: -_- That and the fact that alot of the time when I even MENTION Labyrinth to some people they don't think about, say... David Bowie, the music or just how cool it was. Nope. The automatic reaction, "That's the one where he has the huge bulge in his pants?"

*hand to forehead* Oy.
