Soo.... Anybody going?? I'm currently trying to persuade my over-protective parents into letting me go. (I'm gonna cosplay Hao!)
I think my parents think it's just some big party where everyone gets drunk >.< How do the people act at cons?
This'll be my fist Con. Any advice/customs/unwritten rules I should know about?

Nobody gets drunk at cons, unless they want the security staff to kick them out. Caffeine high, yes; drunk, absolutely not. I've been to Sugoicon for the past three years, and the only drunks I encountered were obnoxious football fans who wanted me to flash them. (I was dressed as Anna, this was last year.) My college-age fanboys (sadly I can't remember their names) told them to stuff it, and the Annoying Drunken Steelers Fans left me alone. But overall, you won't find drunks at anime conventions.
If you're going to photograph people, don't get in the picture with them unless you're from the same series. (I still feel sorry for that Nausicaa I practically molested as Yami no Bakura my first year at Sugoicon... her costume was so good that it shouldn't have had me in the same photo as it. She shouldn't have had me near her, as she was really really really pretty....)
ZOMG you're going to be Hao? I'm going as Lyserg! I can chase you around screaming about my dead parents! We've got to meet up!

Well, it looks like Innle pretty much covered stuff about drunkeness and what not. But don't worry, you shouldn't find any drunken asses at an anime con.
Although I have heard some stories about the guests at cons being drunk at panels, but "funny" drunk not "Superbowl party rampage" drunk if you catch my drift. I haven't actually seen this sort of thing though, so don't get all antsy ( ^ _ ^ )
Also, chances are (and this is bound to happen) someone will want a picture of you in coustume. I know I would! It seems really rare to come across Mankin cosplayers! Go ahead and humor them!
You'll feel sexy!!! *bricked*
But seriously, it sounds like a lot of fun. I hope you do get to go! If you do, please try to bring back some pictures! I wanna see the "Shadow-Hao!"
BTW, assuming you do go, someone is bound to call you "Zeke!" DON'T LET THEM INSULT THE HAO!!!
Kidding, just remember your manners ^_^ (I could count the number of times people have called out to me "ZOLO!")
