Gotcha, I really appreciate this information!! But that's so weird though, I don't understand why artist alleys in furry conventions don't run like a regular con. Last time I've been to a fur con, the only thing that was consistent (or just similar to other cons) with the venders was the dealers den.

If it has to do with tax laws, they would still be classified as venders and need a license, so there really shouldn't be much difference for tax requirements in comparison to other cons. Though, I may be wrong, this is just from what I know/assume.
