Welcome to Gaia! ::

That's so stupid. I wish they'd kill the attendance cap. I thought for sure if they moved the con into the convention center limitless people would be allowed in. The time I went I got in almost barely. Like the 4th or 5th person behind our group was where they cut off the attendance. I felt so bad.
Wow. Maybe they closed the restaurant because they knew we were coming o.0; Cowards xD

Bring:

About 150$ will be good (if you're a DVD or figurine nut, bring some more money)
Chargers
Clean clothes
Comfortable Shoes. *'specailly for Cosplayers*
Re-usable Bottle for Drinks
Map of Convention/Baltimore *though Baltimore has a lot of maps around the Harbor*
Common Sense
Good Attitudes. City folks love Tourist but I've seen alot of Attitudes for us Natives. Not cool.

DO:
Manage your schedule, compare it among friends. Don't fret if yo can't do everything in one day. There's 3 days for that.
Wash. All Hotel rooms have showers. Use them.
Get a good night sleep. This'll help with your energies, help you not faint inthe heat, and improve your overall attitude.
Be respectful. Don't yell, glomp random people (seriously, most don't like this), clean up after you eat, don't crowd the hallways/walkways.
Like I said above, also be respectful to the natives. Can't tell you the stories I hear after the con has left.

DON'T:
Meet people you never met alone. The Fountain is a good meeting place. Not your hotel room.
Don't yell in the Hotel. Though, you might be safe if you book Holiday Inn
Bring things like DS, or other expensive objects to the con (leave in Hotel) unless you're good at keeping track of that stuff. People steal.
Bring all your money. 50 or 60 will be good per day. If you need more, just go get it. 'Cause if you lose it, we don't wanna hear it.
Run. Or wear flipflops on Esculators.
Be rude to the Con staff or empolyees.
trust the random Hobo. They're everywhere during con season.

Also, best places to eat:

Uno's at the Harbor place (across from the gallery)
Five Guys @ HP
McDonald's is everywhere
PF Chang's is close to the Barnes and Nobel store.
Panera Bread
There's Chinese in the Gallery.
A, I'll make notes on one's closer to the Con. I'm going by Cheapest of course.
Oh, and there are a lot of Subways, 7 elevens and a CVS store too.
