Good suggestions on there. Also, bring $100 more than you think you'll spend. Trust me on this one.

Those are some pretty solid tips. I'm a pro when it comes to going to conventions though. I've been to quite a few.

No, not really. I just usually walk around, get some autographs, talk to some pros, go to some panels, buy stuff. Last year at WWP, I got to see Batman Begins before it came out. On Imax no less. That was cool.

I thought you might like this bit of history

Seacon 84 was the first Sci Fi convention I went to it had "lots" of mad scientologists hyping the book Battlefield Earth lol. Aside from that it was a marvelous experience and Hawkwind played as the "Sonic Assasins".
