I thought it might be a good idea to make a thread about stuff that should be packed so its not forgotten.
So then when you get to the con you won't be like "OH NO! I FORGOT MY .... I CAN'T SURVIVE A CON WITHOUT IT!"
Things to remember: ID, Money, some form of headache medicine (or stomach ache, etc.) Cons can get very loud and hectic at times and if you are prone to headaches this would be something sorely missed).
Cell phone (and charger),
camera (if you care about pictures with spare batteries).
Anything you wanted signed by a guest.
PJs
All pieces of your cosplay! (So I don't forget anything I write a list of every little piece of each cosplay that I bring and mark it off the list once it's packed).
In case you want some down time with your roomies bring something like a deck of cards or apples to apples.
All basic Necessities = Deodorant (too many people forget this), soap, shampoom, etc (if you don't want to use the hotel samples), Make up
If you are participating in a skit - CD that is clearly marked, pictures of your cosplay
Hot Glue gun = your best friend for cosplay malfunctions
Consider taking snacks - soda, crackers, chips, poptarts - non perishable stuff
