Comic-Con or any kind of Con advise

At the very first Anime Central con (Chicago anime con) back in 98 introduced the "Got Soap?" con T-shirt (still kicking myself for getting the "normal" con shirt rather than that one).

The problem can be traced to students who don't have a lot of spare cash choose to pack themselves into hotel rooms like cord wood to save money. They don't have enough time in the morning for everyone to properly wash up because they all met up with all their online friends and talked IRL till the wee hours so the choice of bathing or catching a few more ZZs before rushing off for the day's events, they tend to choose the ZZs.

Cosplayers tend to wash but after 3 days in the same outfit they too will start to reek. Best photo from a con was a convention hall staffer spraying down the carpets with an industrial sized sprayer of Febreez.

Thanks for the great advice folks, so haven't caught a case of Con Crud. Having a great time, so far the bad times I had was the Hasbro line cluster[censored] and not being able to see the Thundercats premire, due to what I felt was very bad line management.

Ah yes, bad line management, how I remember it so well back in 1995.

Well at least you are having a good time. I here Felicia Day has her own booth there, actually probably one of her projects but she has a vendor wristband so who knows.

Don't forget her Dragon Age: Redemption series. Then her VA work for Guild Wars II so she could have stopped by at the NCSoft booth. Is The Legend of Neil still going on?

The two most important keys to a healthy Con are also the two hardest to dead with, at least for me. Rest and plenty of liquids. And in THIS case beer does not count as a liquid.

Very true. You also have to have lots of espresso.

It does, however, count as a foodstuff. Namely, bread.
