Hey, so I am highly interested in getting my Red Lion room reserved ASAP but I notice that when I try to book the room, the rates are not the same as those listed on this site and that there currently isn't a convention code for the room block that Kumoricon plans on using. So what is recommended for those wishing to reserve (especially since I would like my room as close to the ground floor as possible so that stairs may actually be a reasonable alternative to enduring the elevator traffic)? Is there going to be a convention code, and when would that be available? (I apologize if this isn't directly related to registration. I shall hope for forgiveness for my thread transgressions)

AllyKat · « **Reply #103 on:** January 17, 2011, 11:48:14 am »

I apologize for the delay.

The Hotel Blocks have not yet been opened yet, so do not worry that we are running out of rooms; no one has been allowed to make a reservation yet!

The hotel block should be open VERY soon, myself and the current Facilities Liaison will be getting that code out by the next staff meeting (hopefully, just need to meet with the hotels) or shortly after. Rest assured we are working very hard to get that room block reservation system set up with the hotel and available to you asap!

Saiyusa · « **Reply #104 on:** January 18, 2011, 12:15:05 am »

Thanks for getting back to me on this

It is good to know that we are not painfully behind in reserving the rooms XD Last year we ended up on the 15th floor. That was...healthy? Carrying grocery bags of snacks and luggage up 15 flights was certainly a test of our mettle but apparently not more so than waiting for an elevator XD I run with an impatient bunch ;P Speaking of impatient, when should I be checking back? Two weeks? Two months?

AllyKat · « **Reply #105 on:** January 18, 2011, 01:32:29 pm »

I'd say in between those two, I hate promising dates cause my luck tends to fall me flat on my tooshie when I do, but I know for sure it will NOT be 2 months out! However, 2 weeks is pushing my luck with our Facilities Liaison (and it his rodeo anyway, I'm just along for the ride!) I believe he or I will make a post on the website, and forums once he has released the code so rooms can start getting booked!

Saiyusa · « **Reply #106 on:** January 18, 2011, 07:42:00 pm »

Alrighty

Thanks much! I really appreciate all the work you guys put into the convention!

Okay Kumoricon staff got a question for. I just recieved a Kumoricon badge dark bllue in color with a lighter blue stripe at the bottom, the Kumoricon mascot on the left hand sde and my badge name, real name and Kumoricon 2011 logo all written in black letters. Now my question to youm is this the V.I.P. badge. Because if it is than that was quick.

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #111 on:** February 19, 2011, 06:02:21 pm »

You might want to direct that question to the registration department itself via e-mail at registration@kumoricon.org . You'll probably get a faster response that way.

I dunno if this helps you much but my badge looks the exact same as your description except for I bought the weekend badge, not a V.I.P. badge.

Hey I got my badge in the mail but I'm wondering if I got the right one. Last years and the year before with color of the badges they were yellow for the ages 17 and under, now they're red. I'm curious if they changed or if I got the wrong one. =/ I am 16. btw.

If you are 16 your badge should be yellow (ages 13-17) not red (ages 12 and under).

We apologize for any trouble this has caused you so right now all I can do is direct you to email us at registration@kumoricon.org if you haven't yet and we will try to respond as soon as we can to fix this problem.

What ever happend to the suggestions thread? Anyway I guess I'll put this here~
I got my badge but was taken aback by how dark it was, I can't read it from far away at all, so how is staff going to be able to see people's names on their badges? Shouldn't the lettering be in white?

I'm not sure exactly which thread you're thinking of, but I can confirm that no lengthy thread was deleted. A thread like that would be in the "General Kumoricon" forum area, and you can look back through the pages (they are sorted by date of the last post by default), use the forum's search feature, or browse through a specific user's posts (if you remember a specific post in it) to help find it.

It was something along the lines of, "Help, Suggestions and complaints" and it itself wasn't a thread, but had threads in it where people could make their own topics of suggestions and what not. I think it's been gone for a while :/

Oh, that's right. Yes, we reorganized the forum awhile back, and that area was removed as it was redundant.

But, all the threads were moved into either the "General Kumoricon" area, or one of the more specific sub-areas (like Panels, Fan Creations, Cosplay), and no threads were deleted. Just shuffled around.

But you're right, this is now the correct forum area to post general suggestions for Kumoricon, so your post is in the right place.

Still anxiously awaiting the Hotel Reservation code XD Specifically for Red Lion. Any specific date set for when that will be released yet?

This is not the VIP badge. We've been waiting to get all the VIP badges done, and will be mailing them shortly. All of the currently registered VIPs got regular adult badges in the mail as our online order system didn't differentiate between the two (it placed them in the regular database, as well as the VIP specific one). Rest assured, that you will get your VIP badge soon

Saiyusa · « **Reply #125 on:** March 05, 2011, 02:30:29 am »

I am starting to get a little nervous about hotel reservations :/ I keep worrying I am going to miss when the code comes out. Will it be posted on the location page first or somewhere else? Has there been a date set around which it's planning to be finalized so I can mark my calendar or something to make sure I don't miss it? My only option right now is checking every day. I figure that since the code is being released much later, there will be more people reserving as soon as it comes out than usual. I just don't want to forget to check and miss out on a chance for a good room.

JeffT · « **Reply #126 on:** March 05, 2011, 02:32:44 am »

When it is announced, it will be announced in the main news, so you can subscribe to the RSS feed of the web site to avoid missing it.

Saiyusa · « **Reply #127 on:** March 05, 2011, 02:35:24 am »

How do I subscribe?

JeffT · « **Reply #128 on:** March 05, 2011, 02:38:24 am »

The URL is:

For most RSS readers, you can just point it at the front page (www.kumoricon.org) and it will find it. In case not, the URL is:

http://www.kumoricon.org/?feed=rss2

Google Reader is a popular reader. Some web browsers (like Opera) can subscribe directly, and many email programs (if you use a mail program on your computer, instead of webmail) can subscribe.

Saiyusa · « **Reply #129 on:** March 05, 2011, 02:42:35 am »

I don't understand. When I click on RSS on the main page or the link you provided, I get endless script. How can I 'subscribe' to it? You mean have updates sent to my e-mail, correct?

JeffT · « **Reply #130 on:** March 05, 2011, 02:45:39 am »

You need to use an RSS reader application to subscribe. We don't email it to you. One service that will email you news articles from an RSS feed is Feed My Inbox.

Saiyusa · « **Reply #131 on:** March 05, 2011, 02:50:14 am »

So I paste the '---feed=rss2' url that you provided into where it asks for the website url?

JeffT · « **Reply #132 on:** March 05, 2011, 02:51:51 am »

Yep, the whole thing:

Okay, bit of a question.

I registered for three people, two of which have received badges already. I, though, have not received my badge yet. I registered all three on one order, so it isn't like they were separate or anything. I am just wondering if this is normal or if something may have gone awry.

I emailed this question to registration@kumoricon.org a week ago, but have received no response yet, so I figured the forums would be the next best place to bring it to someone's attention.

I apologize for the lack of response (a lot of us have been really busy with our real lives) but to answer your question, it seems there were a few problems and some badges didn't get printed so they should be sent out this month (in about 2 weeks from now).

Also just to let everybody who doesn't know... well know, all badges are sent out individually even if they are ordered at the same time.

Hey I read on the website that if one wants to try to register and make it into artist alley, they should not register for the convention itself yet. Does the Artist Alley fee cover your registration as well as the table?

You do not need a room code for the Red Lion. I just called them up and asked to be booked in under the Kumoricon Convention and it worked.
As long as the Red Lion Registration system says that they have a deal with them for room rates (which I did triple check with them before booking) you can go ahead and book a room with the rates posted on the K-con website. I am also looking for roommates so also check the "Room & Ride sharing" board for my post.

I found this out by calling them up to see if I could book the room now and add the "Room Code' on later. Looks like I didn't have to.

Saiyusa · « **Reply #141 on:** March 16, 2011, 08:01:59 am »

In past years an AA table has come with a badge and the option to register up to 3 other people at a reduced rate. Email artists@ to check on this year, or post in the AA thread in the Fan Creations section of the forum.

Sorry for the late reply to your question! (was sick with the flu for the past week.) but since this involves the free weekend pass that you won, it's best if you email us at registration@kumoricon.org so my Manager who know more about this can help you with this problem and get you your badge.

Im not sure on the details of the badge mail outs, but I am getting a little concerned.

My friend ordered his badge a while ago and then a week later, ordered mine. Last month or so, he recieved his in the mail. But I have yet to recieve mine. Shouldnt it have come out in the same batch? Or how does this work?

I just know that I paid for my badge and I would really hate to have to buy it again....

Thanks guys.
