As I prep for Anthrocon, I figure a Public Service Announcement for con-goers -- both new and those of us who have been to way too many cons -- might not be a bad idea.

Actually, having been to furry, comic, and regular business-based conventions (motivational speakers and all that crap)...the business-based one was THE ABSOLUTE WORST. Oh my God. In fact, of the three, the furry cons I've been to have been the least horrendous-smelling.
I still stand by the shower rule, though.

Doesn't apply to conventions ;)
Seriously, a lot of folks go to conventions and get none of either, and they end up grumpy and the cause of many cases of con crud. If everyone followed this rule, conventions would involve far less regret when you had to return to work on Monday or Tuesday!

Good if you can get 'em! :)
These are minimums, though. Every year, there's someone who collapses Saturday night at the dances, having had no sleep for 36 hours, no food except some pixy stix all that day, etc. Adrenaline and endorphins are so high for folks at cons, they forget how important it is to eat and sleep. Seriously. If you get only two good meals and six hours of sleep, you'll be okay; maybe not at your peak but functional.

This is true wisdom at work. The more you try to grasp bigger lumps of the experience that is the con, the more elusive and mirage-like it gets. So take a couple of reds and sleep when the merciless sun rises.
And remember to try everything atleast once and if you're not sure if you should, use the smell-test.
Although, I don't know what's the common practise if there's and orgy.

1 showever across the entire con,
2 meals, one on the way to the con, and one halfway through to make sure I can make it to the over half,
and 6 hours divided evenly between the days of the con (Remainders to be taken on the first day to make sure you're more energetic for the rest of the con.
These are very effective rules. Thank you very much Tabbie!!!
