Grace Under Pressure - Convention 1Grace Under Pressure - Convention 2

Conventions can be really fun to go to but they can get a little strange. If you don’t know what to expect, it can be like suddenly finding yourself stranded in Simon R. Green’s Nightside without any idea of how you got there.

Be prepared for a lot of lining up, particularly for entry and for different panels. Check in advance to see which ones will be popular so you can get an idea of how far in advance you want to start queuing up.

And bring a camera! There will be cool costumes everywhere and you might find other cosplayers dressed similarly to you who might be open to taking some group shots.

Line-ups for food are always insane. I have seen food lines at events that were over three hours long so bring a snack or two if you can, and always check to see if there are any places for a quick meal near the event space. It will save you loads of time and the expressions on the faces of the counter staff are always priceless.
