Yes, its Wolfe. Ohai there.
Decided I'd hang around here for a while I missed you guise I 'spose. <3
ANYWAY, In August I'm going to my first Anime convention, meeting some pchat friends of mine, we got a table so I was placed down as a helper, I got free tickets and I get to go in an hour earlyyyyy. Oh yeah, I'm cosplaying as Scout's Mother (aka, hottest MILF in TF2). So, what should I do and what shouldn't I... since.. It's kinda my first time.. anime con virgin.. hhhnnnggg.

YOU.
-Love-
Do you have a link to the convention's website? That's the easiest way to know what's there and what's good and what's not.
Not sure how long the convention is - but expect to get less sleep xD
A lot of times you'll get there early (and in your case real early) and stay late if you're going to a rave. There's a chance you can duck out for a while or just hang around.
As far as spending money - well, just plan to use it up ~ you'll either find deals that you can pass up or things that you can't find anywhere else. I've bought things like googles, Sailor Moon plushies, and manga for $2. I experienced buying from the artist alley too last year and that was probably best - I think $10 or $15 got me an inked sketch of Biff and Max in a sexy pose.... lawl, and my friend got pronz of her two guys for the same price.
Oh, and just make sure prices are reasonable or you'll have a hard time making business. People kill a lot of money in the dealer's room ._."
As far as cosplaying goes - if your character has a fan base you may get pictures but if it's unknown don't expect much. I did Mika from Angel Sanctuary but I really needed to be in a group for people to recognize the manga series.
Last thing I can think of is either spend money on food or bring a cooler to feed yourself. Convention center food is always jacked up.

ME.
-is loved-
Oh Godace~ heart How I've missed your TL;DR posts.
Anyway the convention website is here www.smash.org.au (Our artist table is WhaleUp *plugplugplug*) It's only a small convention, mostly made up of artists and whatnot....and a maid cafe fufufufufu, I think it's best just to start small rather than get overwhelmed by tons and tons of fangirls all screaming "SASUKE-KUUUUUUUUUN AWMAHGAWWWWWD SASUNARU KAWAII DESUUUUU" If.. you get what I'm saying. I think cosplay-wise... I'll be fine? The table that I'm sitting at is going to be doing TF2 with me. Talking about cash.. thinking of only spending around $200 or so, not sure if that'd be enough though honestly. *A*
oh and link to the prons kthxbaii
