Let's not forget, being a Vendor Table Slot pre-registrant has its own perks, too: MAKE MONEY & FRIENDS showing off & selling your Asian-themed swag, OBTAIN AN EXCELLENT WAY to reach a pricelessly-rabid fanbase, & EXHIBIT YOUR SKILLS for some cheap thrills (....plus 2 FREE #1 Contender's Passes included for each Table Slot pre-regged)! Last, but certainly not least, your purchase of a #1 Contender's Pass, or Vendor Table Slot, allows TAKII to have the resources necessary to make this seasons, & every one after it, all the more extreme!

Obviously, TAKII 12 ~United We Stand~ is FREE to enter & enjoy (as TAKII itself always has & will be). But wouldn't it be freakin' sweet if you could take home a "Gaming Tourney" world title? Or how about show up your friends (& foes alike) in our cosplay competitions & vocal/talent shows? There's only 1 way to make it happen: with our 1-of-a-kind #1 Contender's Pass! To be able to compete in any of our "#1 Contender's Pass Exclusive Festivities" (without having to pay a separate $5.00 fee per "Exclusive" festivity), all you have to do is purchase an über-sexy, "can't leave home without it", #1 Contender's Pass! They can be purchased online (by pre-regging at special discount rates) , or on the day of TAKII 12 ("at-door", but at normal prices). Since the #1 Contender's Pass was instituted at TAKII 3 ~Video Game Ecstacy~, TAKII fans have praised "the most extreme Asian culture fusion festival" for creating this maverick innovation, often imitated, but never duplicated by similarly-themed events. Done away are the days of having to pay for each vid game tourney separately, or needing to beg your mom for that extra moolah to perform in the TAKII Show -- just flash this #1 Contender's Pass (featuring TAKII 12's theme) when you sign up for a competition & you're ready, steady, (to) go! 

Now for those of you who enjoy selling your own swag, or displaying your own skilled works of art, then reserve Vendor Table Slots (enabling you to be featured in our Dealer's Dominion, or Community Centrale) for TAKII 12! Due in large part to the popularity of wanting a table, slots are limited & available only on a 1st come-1st served basis. Quoting 1 of our most faithful vendors, Anime Sunrise, "TAKII was the 1st Asian-themed festival/convention that I purchased a Vendor Table Slot for & it was the best decision I could have made! Vendors are made to be just as integral a part of the action as the attendees & trust me, we just can't get enough of this extreme experience! DOMO!!" Please keep in mind that Vendor Table Slots are only available online; fees applicable are based on a sliding scale of varied discount criteria. To reserve your slot (& the 2 FREE #1 Contender's Passes that are included per table), you go to the same place as #1 Contender's Pass patrons -- it's all that simple!

The Hardcore Handbook is your key to celebratory awesomeness for TAKII! It's just like any other programming book you would find at other like-minded functions/conventions, but it's value is unmatched in the realm of Asian-themed fandom. Featuring guest & performer bios, event schedules, autograph panels, & other TAKII-exclusive sexiness, it's the perfect compliment to everyone's fusion festival experience. People who plan on attending a season of TAKII are encouraged to print out a copy of the Hardcore Handbook prior to their arrival, as only Collectors Editions (for #1 Contender's Pass holders) & standard style versions of this guide would be available at-the-door in limited quantities.
