Katsucon 16, Sweeeeeeet!

POP SHOW JAPAN presents UNICORN TABLE’S “INTO THE FUTURE” CD RELEASE PARTY! The Ultimate Katsucon 16 Pre-Party kicking off the official Unicorn Table “Into The Future” CD release! Read more about it here!

With sincere apologies for the late posting, the information for Katsucon’s Sweet 16 Formal Dance is now available. We hope to see you there!

Katsucon is very please to be the 2010 Robotech Convention Tour’s first east coast stop! Take a look at the great write up on Robotech.com highlighting some of our wonderful Katsucon 16 guests.

Online and mail-in pre-registration for Katsucon 16 is now closed. If you haven’t registered there will still be plenty of opportunity at the con itself (with no attendance cap this year!). Thank you!

We apologize for the late notice and appreciate our attendees letting us know how having the event in Maryland affects our responsibility regarding taxes and licensing in for the Katsucon Artist Areas. We were unaware that changing from a Virginia to a Maryland venue would create this much additional work for all involved.

All sellers at the event are obligated to charge 6% Maryland sales tax separate from the amount of the sale.

As per Maryland State Law we, as organizers of the event, must submit the contact information for anyone planning to sell any merchandise at the show. The Maryland Comptroller’s Office has told us that they do not differentiate between exhibitors/artists and merchants as far as sales tax collection is concerned. As a result, we will be submitting the contact information for those persons setting up tables in the Katsucon Artist Areas as well as those setting up tables in the Merchants Room. The MD Comptroller has assured us that all contact data will remain private. The MD Comptroller will be assigning 30-day Temporary Sales Tax IDs to those people who do not already have a Sales Tax ID in Maryland. If you have questions regarding the necessity of having a temporary Sales Tax ID for the event, please call the MD Comptroller at 410-767-1543 and they will be more than happy to assist you.

As we expect a visit from the Maryland Comptroller Field Enforcement Unit, all tables will be required to present a filled out copy of Maryland Trader’s License or Exhibitor’s Affidavit. The Maryland Trader’s License or Exhibitor’s Affidavit must be displayed at your table at all times while you are present.

We will be providing blank copies of the Exhibitor’s Affidavit at the event; you may also download a copy from the website. If you are unsure if you meet the requirements of the Exhibitor’s Affidavit, please call the Prince George’s County Clerk of the Circuit Court at (301) 952-3330.

Thank you for your patience and understanding. Please let us know if you have any questions or if there’s any way we may assist you.

The Library has proven so popular wherever it travels, we really wanted to bring it to Katsucon. And so this year we have invited them to join us, now that we finally have enough function space for them. Be sure to stop by, see the collection and read a few books!
