Is anybody going to comicpalooza. Im planing on going Saturday and was wondering if you guys had an ideas on things I have to see or do since this is my first con?
Have you listened to the CGS episodes on going to cons? They are pretty good. They did an update recently.
My own piece of advice is to check out the program for panels. I use to go to cons and not go to panels. I realized they are a good place to rest as well as hear or learn about some things. I schedule my floor time around them.
And find out if you can bring a backpack or bag so you can carry your stuff and you can bring water and snacks. Food can be pricey so that would be a nice backup.
Don't forget your list for comics if you are bin diving. And shop around if you are getting a collectible issue. Prices can vary among dealers. And you can haggle some. It it's $40 see if the wi take $30 or $35. Don't haggle over 50 cent or dollar books unless you are buying a short or long box full.
Also you may want to add in you thread title that you are seeking advice as a first time con attendee. That will get peoples attention too.
