31 July 2009 00:10I picked up a number of little 'preview' booklets for upcoming books. One - "Geektastic, Stories from the Nerd Herd" included a Geektastic lists of 'Things to Bring to Help Survive Comic Con'.
Here's Holly's list - which is the list that amused me (and is true!)
- Bottle of ibuprofen. Not the little bottle, either.
- Coffee. Because buying it inside the building will mean fighting other caffeine-deprived attendees. Some of them will have shurikens.
- A Sharpie. You just never know when you might need one.
- A Buddy. With whom you can rehearse what you are going to say when you meet celebrity heros ... which you will forget when you actually wind up standing behind hero on coffee line. In this case, buddy can also resuscitate you.
- Large bag or knapsack. To hold all your spoils.
- Steel-toed shoes. Forget comfort! You have to hold your ground!
LOL!

Date: 31 Jul 2009 15:52 (UTC)My list includes:
1) Camera, because there is a lot you can take photos of and you'll hate not having it at the right moment.
2) Con Badge, because if you forget that, you're screwed.
3) Snacks, because sitting in a room two panels early just to hold the sit means you're going to get hungry.
4) Water, 'cause once the caffeine starts to wear off you're going to be real thirsty.
