These are a mixture of personal and second-hand knowledge gleaned from this weekend.
- Always buy the anthology before the panel. It will be sold out and force you to order it online instead. (I'm looking at you Long Hidden.)
- Walgreens closes at 8pm. Take precautions.
- Be prepared to cull your party size to get seating at Nepalese restaurants.
- Absolutely nothing is open on Memorial Day.
- Hot tubs are always legitimate locations to hold critique sessions.
- That person you were just talking to might be an editor and might not appreciate your opinions on Legend of Korra. (Even if you are right.)
- Flights are skittish things and can be delayed indefinitely and without notice.
- The hotel bar will close before you can actually start drinking, but the wait staff is amazing.
- The iPhone Facebook app will not let you view any friend requests from all the awesome people you meet. Twitter is a much more reliable system.
- If someone suggests that a particular piece of clothing would look good on you for the Floomp, believe them. (What could possibly go wrong?)
- WisCon 39 sounds like an absolute blast.
