Vendors and Fan Faire 07

[Ashlanne]

<p>Hey Folks,</p><p>We are looking for your feedback on what vendors you would like to see in Vegas.  Thank you Redblood for the idea.</p><p>Please post your ideas, if by chance you have contact information for a suggested Vendor PM me with those details.</p><p> Thanks for your help folks!</p>

[HeiligHangranate]

<p>Nvidia is always good, and they're already an affiliate.  They always seem to have a monitor with some virtual skin on display, and that's always popular.</p><p>Some Alienware or similar systems to drool over would be nice.</p><p>But what I enjoy the most are the vendors with displays of armor, weapons, and artwork.  Unfortunately, I don't have any references.</p>

[Arrinya]

<p>The Fellowship Foundry folks were great and I hope you have them again. I must agree with the Heilighangranate about the vendors they like as they are the ones I enjoy too. I'd like to see more vendors selling clothing and jewelry too.</p>

[Perzephone]

<p><span style="font-size: x-small; color: #9933ff; font-family: comic sans ms,sand">I love them and they rocked the house. I would love to see Logictech back as well as NVIDIA! they weren't there for last years they need to come back <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> and also small lil vendors that make costume parts like Corsetts, robes, blah blah that kind of things you find at a fantasy con. Oh and bring Mr Larry ELmore too! It just wont be the smae with out him if hes not there <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p><p><span style="font-size: x-small"><span style="color: #9933ff; font-family: comic sans ms,sand">ok so thats my wish list</span></span></p><p>so NVidia, Logictech, The group that made the AB & FV armor costumes, costumers that make Coresetts and fantasy whatnots & last but not least LARRY ELMORE!</p>

[GPA_Coyote]

Bring back Mister Elmore!!

[Radar-X]

I second Larry Elmore.  The lady that did the character drawings was also great.  Her name escapes me though.

[QforQ-MxO]

Here's a few ideas of mine: SoundBlaster (soundcards), ATI, Intel, Dell,  Jinx.com, ThinkGeek.com .....  I'll try to think of more <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

[Crystilla]

<p>Each year I try to do two things:  visit the fellowship foundry and relieve myself of money AND try to make an appointment with whichever artist is brought in.</p><p>So far I've done the first thing 3x but the artist I keep missing (time slots fill up and the artist's poor hand is pretty sore by the end of the faire).</p><p>Much love for those two things.</p>

[Rawlden]

On word: Tattoos!  <img src="/smilies/e8a506dc4ad763aca51bec4ca7dc8560.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

[Anas]

<p>I was thinking maybe Zboard, as they do make all sorts of gaming keyboards, and they specifically have keysets for EQ1 and EQ2.</p><p>And I definitely second the Nvidia, Alienware and Logitech ideas.</p>

[Igie]

<p>ASUS, so I can yell at them. </p><p>EVGA would be great though....</p>

[Sassums]

I like Nvidia and Intel.... For sodas, PEPSI ALL THE WAY!! <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

<p>Pepsi > All.</p><p>Mountain Dew has been fueling gamers and developers for generations... Also, Pepsi actually holds the market share here. Though there are a lot of places that serve Coke, off strip it tends to be more Pepsi. </p>

[Sassums]

Mountain Dew is by far the best invention ever created. Weird as it is, Coke is more known and sold throughout the world, except in the United States, where Pepsi is sold more.

[WarSheol]

<p> I was at both past Vegas Fan Faires and the best booth id have to say was the Renegade Effects Group, they are the ones that made the FV armor and sych. Great people to.</p><p><a href="http://www.renegadeeffects.com/index.htm" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.renegadeeffects.com/index.htm</a></p><p> also really liked meeting Larry Elmore.</p><p>Pepsi <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />  if there is a choice, any thing beats paying $4 in the machines for a drink there.</p>

Get them to bring more with them - bigger sizes please!

[WarSheol]

 Oh yeah the banners are great, I was lucky enough to win 2 of them last time. Can only hope they make more than one of each this time for better chance to win :o)

[Redblood]

Glad I was able to spring some ideas to you Ashlanne. BTW this is Maldian from Stratics. I look forward to seeing you again in Las Vegas!

[laien]

<p>Would like to see razor there.</p><p><a href="http://www.razerzone.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.razerzone.com/</a></p><p>they where at last years block party and they had some great gear.    Also whats up with block party this year they having one again?<img src="/smilies/e8a506dc4ad763aca51bec4ca7dc8560.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

[Bist]

I dont want to seem to get off topic, but the Dragonlance movie is supposed to be around September or so...perhaps they could give a private teaser for us?

[SG_01]

How about Coldstone Creamery? I keep hearing they make good ice cream <img src="/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

Coke vs. Pepsi....  If they keep arguing, run down to the supermarket and buy the "house brand."  Spend the extra money on good booze :p  <i>Edit:</i>  Mountain Dew tastes like warm moose pee.  No matter how much booze you put in it. How about a chance to win a new gaming rig?  How about someone to do my hair like my toon's?  (okay, <i>okay</i>, I <i>know</i> that's a chick thing.  But Tunare's Green Eyes, if they can make my frizz do one of those elaborate high elf up-do's, I'd be stunned!) What about a Gigglegibber Goblin Gamblin' Game?

<p>Burgers, burgers and more burgers? is that all you Americans eat nowadays?</p><p>Anyhow, you could try and ask if <a href="http://www.elffantasy.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Elf Fantasy </a>would come over, though I have my doubts <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>
