Just thought it would be good to put up a check-list of things one may need to take to a convention.
I know I usually forget something rolleyes

Feel free to add on!


  • costume (make a list of all the parts that go to it and check them off as you pack them)
  • extra cloths for travel and relaxing
  • lots of cash (small bills are great.. "$15? Could you drop the price a bit, I only have $10?")
  • snacks
  • bottle water
  • small first aid kit (a makeshift one is fine: band-aids, anti-bacterial cream, cloth bandages, pain-killers- advil and such)
  • any medication you may need (I usually take an extra hydrocodone (sp?) for that migraine I always get after the first day)
  • camera & extra film (or memory card if it's digital)
  • makeup & mirror (optional)
  • small sewing kit (they sell small travel-size sewing kits very cheap)
  • clean underwear (you have to shower.. no one likes to smell your B.O.)
  • deodorant (same reason as above)
  • toothbrush & toothpaste
  • brush or comb


I'll add more as I think of it.. or if anyone has anything else to add.

Good advise.
I always like to bring pocket snacks as well. Things like breakfast bars and fresh fruit. Especially if you're staying in the hotel. They're full of nutrition so you can keep going longer, since the con I go to sells mostly candy.
