I think at least for 2009 it shall be a booth. I agree SupaNova would be a better option being an "all-things-nerdy" convention rather than just animé/manga, but hiring a booth there wasn't cheap. I'll see how much a stall costs though then compare it with available funds.

At least at SupaNova you'll also have international celebrities you can meet too. Bring back George Takei - he was _awesome_ (and I'm not even a Trek fan, he was just such a NICE guy - never met someone who was so famous yet so down to Earth).
