As stated on the latest ODPH podcast, San Diego Comic Con is finally here for 2019! If you’re not able to attend, make sure to follow all social media for all the big news breaking. If you are lucky enough to go, Congrats! There is so much to see and do, so here’s some quick ideas to think about bringing before going to the con.
Backpacks - with all the swag and collectables at SDCC, you’ll need something to store them in. Flare it out a bit with some patches/buttons of your favorite fandoms and it will make for some convo starters in line.
Refillable Water Bottle. Cons can be very warm. Stay hydrated. Snacks are a great idea too. No Con goer should go without food and/or water at these conventions. Save some cash too!
If you’re buying any collectable poster art, bring a poster tube to put it in. No sense of ruining great art by folding it into pieces
Portable phone charger. Do NOT be the one stranded with a dead phone battery when you meet a celeb and can’t take that pic for IG or FB. This might come in handy more than you could think.
Hand sanitizer, tissues, gum/breath mints and band aids are all nice to carry as well.
Dress for weather accordingly
IF COSPLAYING (which will be awesome to do), bring necessary repair kits (pins, tape, etc.) to make sure costumes don’t get ruined
Have Fun. Cons are a great way to make friends and express fandom (always be respectful of other congoers) so enjoy & drop some feedback on @ODParlayhour
Thanks for reading!
