rogueslayer452I am going to be attending Dragon*Con this year. Tickets have been bought, so it's officially official.
This will be my first official big convention. I know this is completely and totally different from the conventions I've gone to from Creation Entertainment, so it's an entirely new beast altogether.
So I pose a question: For all who have attended Dragon*Con before, can you give me your own experiences and stories? Advice, your own personal anecdotes, anything for a newbie who hasn't yet appeared at something like a big event like this before. I've looked things up beforehand about what to expect, pros and cons, experiences at panels and other people there, especially those who cosplay, however it's different for everyone and opinions vary. So, anything that would allow me to get a better picture of what I should be looking forward to would be greatly appreciated.
Also, is anyone else going to D*C this year as well?

Date: 2011-05-15 12:43 am (UTC)Yeah, I figured the bigger people will get the most crowds. I was watching some videos from Whedon panels and they kept saying how crowded it is, and even Jewel Staite tweeted a picture (which she sent to Nathan because they were flipping him off, lol) and it's totally packed in the room. O_O But I figured once I see who is appearing on which days I'll see where this goes.
The seating is first come, first serve yes? The earlier you get there the likely you'll pick something closer?
Hehe, I may be wearing something on one of the days.... ;)
