SMD1984 Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 (edited) Haven't really thought about it yet. Usually get things together about a couple of days before hand. I generally get autograph protectors at the con. I'll probably be taking a folder with all printed out tickets, schedule, all the important stuff and a few bottles of water.

Diabolik Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Good thread - amongst other things I'll have sweets to munch on, my items for signature (ofcourse!), hairbrush for pre-photoshoot purposes, deodorant and my written schedule for the day.

Raylenth Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 I have to add that the title of the thread makes me think it's the title of a film about a prostitute who's very good at running scams. "In cinema's now, The Con Bag, rated PG13". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poisonfish Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 A bag itself thats spacy enough for whatever i'd buy. My paper tickets. A folder for photographs. Books to be signed (not sure if its a good idea though to be lugging books around, maybe photographs would be just enough?) Water Something to chew Make-up bag I wonder how much cash is safe to carry around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
