Welcome to the Official California Coast Ball Jointed Doll Convention Site !

May 11th and May 12th CCBJD 2012

This site and the people that are behind this site are working hard to bring Asian Ball Jointed Dolls (ABJDs) and Vinyl BJDs together for their 2nd annual convention. We had such a great time and great feedback from our first we are doing it again. We would like to announce that *all* dolls are welcome to attend not just BJDs and can take part in the photo opps. So bring your Pullips, little Obtisues and anyone else who might be doll-less that you would like to share the fun with.

SPONSORS

Sponsors are companies that have donated full dolls or doll heads to CCBJD this year. Please take a look at their sites.

Event

Join us for a two day event of fun and socializing! Give aways, meals, cupcake bar,games, and tutorials all in a lovely pink , white and black circus theme. There will not be any 'traditional' clowns so no worry for some .

    First we reached our obligation to the venue as far as meals required. So that being said we can now offer a no meal option for SATURDAY Only.You do have to register online , there are still no 'At the Door payments" we apologize. You can find this button the on the regular attendance page as well as the other packages.

    Second, The sewing contests are going to be canceled since no one has signed up! There has only been one person to express interest in it. Unless we get people signing up this week for it, thats it Kaput!

    What that means is if there are no contests then there will be more games to play as a group and solo for prizes. If you guys are fine with that then so be it :)

    We will also be getting ready next week to send out the final menu choices. I will need a response quickly if you have not sent it to me yet.

    Also if you have any questions please email me directly, the venue has been getting calls but they can't really answer any questions. Email me and I can call you back if you want to speak directly with someone.

    Lastly, if you are a donor and have not yet shipped your item for donation time is running out!
