First con prep

[failingsway]

I'm helping out at a booth for Planet comic con in March. What are your tips for surviving the entire weekend? Snacks, drinks, food? 2nd pair of shoes?
Fill me in on all of your secrets for a successful weekend!

I'm a photographer so I'll have my photo gear but other than that, I'm not sure!

From my experiences working in a booth, I recommend having a spot to sit! The weekend gets long, so having a chair somewhere helps a lot. Also recommend bringing your own water bottles and snacks to save you the costs of expensive con food.

Thats good advice because con food is crazy expensive !!!

I know we try to have water and snacks at our booths, including the every present and important boxes of gushers

Gushers are a must! Snacks in general of course too

I would say healthy stuff for snacks and some gatorades or water bottle additives that will help with hydration. A lot of times you get swept up in the convention that you forget to actually eat or drink properly.

I agree with the others about somewhere to sit at times but also make sure you have the comfiest of shoes for long periods of standing.

Definitely want comfy shoes, I remember setting up TORG and got the leg shakes by the end of friday, continuing Saturday
