ATTENTION: Reedusluts and Flandusexuals... ALBERT'S GUIDE TO A SUCCESSFUL CON EXPERIENCE
Ok so some of you are going to venture to FNFF this weekend and some other cons coming up soon where our boys are headed. Let me give you some tips if you have never been to one of these...
You may fangirl in the hotel, but please, GET SOME REST!
This goes hand in hand with the first item, WAKE UP EARLY AS FUCK! You don't want to get to that venue, late. Parking's always a bitch, no matter where you are.
Also, if you have not purchased tickets to the event(s), it would behoove you to take heed to rules 1&2.
Clothing: Yes this is an issue, especially girls. Girls want to look cute for their celebrity crush, when meeting them. I must tell you this though, DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT WEAR HEELS! Unless you are in a costume that requires them, DO NOT WEAR HEELS! Wear some comfortable shoes, I don't want to hear about how you acquired blisters on your feet, due to you wanting to look cute.
When you get in, please run to find their tables, and if photo ops are available, go find the room where they're being held. (Seeing that Norman and Sean are nice about letting people take pics at their table, it might save you some money.)
Panels are also a hassle. Find a volunteer or two, to tell you the correct room that your panel of choice will be. Ask around to be sure. You don't want to take anything at face-value, and end up in the wrong panel.
Please, Please, PLEASE, CARRY CASH WITH YOU, AT ALL TIMES! I can't stress that enough. I hate having to go and find an ATM, and getting charged an extra $6-$10 (Yes, it's happened), just to get some cash out. Please take cash with you. Save that credit card for food or drinks at the con. (If available)
While in line, PLEASE try to make friends with the people in front or behind you. Strike a conversation, they're in line for the same person(s), so discuss their works. (TAKE HEED TO THIS. YOU NEVER KNOW, IT COULD SAVE YOUR SPOT) Another thing, please get what you want signed ready. Sean and Norman are nice, but you know the lines. Remember, you too had to wait your turn. Please be courteous.
You are here. You've reached the pearly gates. You've reached the merry ol' land of OZ. You're in front of them... Do what you will, scream, fanigrl, faint... It's all up to you at this point. Just remember, do not hang around the table. You will suffer the fate of an unfortunate event, like I did.
Finally, when you're at the panel, ask Sean to tell you the story about the soap. It's better to hear it in person. Try to take photos of the guys at the panel, or video. WE LOVE OUR GIFS!
So, good luck, and Godspeed. I can't wait to see your photos and reblog them. Have a lot of fun meeting them, laughing with them and giving them your wonderful gifts, if you made/bought any. My last piece of advice... GET NORMAN TO SMILE & GET PHOTOS OF IT!!!
I wouldn't have posted this if I didn't love you all. Stay safe and have fun.
