Well be posting again before the start of the show, but for those of you who are coming to your first convention, here are some great ways to make it an enjoyable experience for yourself and those around you: 1) Bring cash with you. There are ATMs on the premises and some vendors will take credit cards, but its best to come prepared. It helps you stay on-budget and ensures youll be able to get everything you want! 2) Wear comfortable shoes! Youll be on your feet a LOT, and youll want to remain as comfortable as possible as the hours and days wear on! 3) When listening in on panels, dont be afraid to ask questions... but dont make them about yourself! Dont tell them about your own film, ask for a hug, or tell them youd like to give them a gift. If you feel compelled to do any of the above, do so when youve got one-on-one time at their tables. 4) Stay hydrated! We all enjoy an ice cold beer or two, but bring bottles of water or Powerade to keep you going during the days! 5) If you need time off, take it! Enjoy a drink at the bar, hop in the pool with fellow horror fans, or take a short nap. Theres a lot to do at TFW, but you need to stay healthy, refreshed, and energetic to enjoy it all! 6) During the evenings, watch some of our amazing films - but just like any theater, please dont talk during the movies! We encourage laughter and general fun, but if you need to chat, take your conversation to the hallway or someone might tell you to clam up! 7) It seems like common knowledge, but one word - deodorant. 8) Talk to your fellow con-goers! If you see someone wearing a shirt you love, tell them! If you see a great costume, ask to take a photo with them! Conventions are about fostering community - and are the best places on Earth to make new friends! 9) Stop by booths you might otherwise look over. Ask questions to vendors, artists, and celebrities that you might be curious about - and buy something that will create a memory! 10) Conventions are the one time in your life that you get to speak to celebrities, but dont forget that they need space. Avoid asking personal questions, and if you see them trying to sneak back to their room for some peace and quiet, dont corner them for a free autograph or photo. Theyll be back at their booths in no time, and you can always catch them there! If veteran con-goers have anything theyd like to add, please do! We cant wait to see all you - old and new - at Texas Frightmare Weekend 2014!
