Hello!

We are solidifying the dates and venue; both of our top choice venues are located in Buffalo (rather than Niagara Falls) and are hotels with convention facilities. We're looking into group rates/convention blocks, and we're trying to estimate how many people would actually be interested in staying on-site for the convention.


If you are planning to attend, please take a moment to answer this quick question about rooming!

 

We have selected dates and a venue!

Date: 19th to 21st Sep, 2014 (3 days)
Venue: Hyatt Regency, Buffalo

We have not secured the group block of rooms yet, so please don't book your accommodations yet. (There will be a discounted room rate at the Hyatt.)

 

Hello guys! Registration for the event is now open:

The website is very basic, but we will be updating with information on the contests and programming as they are finalized.

 

The dollism plus site had a significant update today. More details were added to registration page, as well as single day pass information. Donations page is added. We will begin soliciting doll companies for donation to the con. Donations will be used for raffle prizes. All proceeds from the raffle will be going to charities. For details please visit www.denofangels.com/dollism

Vendors page is also updated with a new more artists/companies added.

 

A facebook page is created for Dollism Plus USA. If you would like to follow closely with up to the minute development, please be sure to like and/or follow the page. https://www.facebook.com/dollism

 

Attention! If you filled out the registration form for DP but did NOT submit any sort of payment via paypal then you are NOT registered for DP! We need the form & the payment for you to be considered registered. People who filled out the registration form but did not submit payment will not have a pair DollHeart shoes held for them, only the first 200 people who have paid for their admission to DP will claim a pair. If you have any questions about registration please send us a PM or email [email protected]. Thank you!

Also, we are down to less than 50 pairs of DH shoes left for registered convention attendees.

We would like to know how many people booked their rooms were unable to obtain the convention rate. We can only get convention rate for Friday and Saturday nights. We are going to talk to the hotel to see if they allow us to expand about block. We need a rough estimate as how many more rooms we will need to add onto our block.

I'm teaching the body maintenance class. I'll be emailing participants in the next few weeks about possibly putting together maintenance kits and figuring out if there are any specific problems we want to troubleshoot.

We're trying to figure out ways to accommodate more people, but haven't found the best solution yet. We'll keep you guys updated!

I'm currently working on the photo staging sets and I'm pretty psyched about some of the props and furniture I've found, so now I'm getting into the actual construction. I heard there may be some big big dolls, so I will try to make at least something simple for the Lusion and other giant BJD.

 

Just a quick note - Jim (javasoy) and I just went to the venue again and I have good news! We will be able to expand the class sizes substantially. We will begin by contact people who are currently wait listed.

Also good news and bad news - the bad news is that the Hyatt is sold out, so we can't expand our block on site. However, the Hyatt has a relationship with Comfort Suites which is 2 blocks away, so we can probably expand our booking there and offer a discounted rate. There is a free little train that runs between too if you don't want to walk. If you already booked there and we do this, you can likely get added to the block at the discount rate - however, please wait on our announcement to confirm this.

Trying out lunch at a local restaurant - Osteria 166. I'll let you know if it's any good.

 

Okay, comfort suites is holding a 20 room block for us at $139/night. It's literally a 3 minute walk from the Hyatt.

716-854-5500 to call, tell them you're with Dollism to get the rate.
