Rules/expected behaviour at conventions

JOE SOAP · 12 January, 2011, 08:01:00 PM

I think streaking is a requirement at every con.

LARF · 12 January, 2011, 08:14:35 PM

1. Find the FutureQuake / Zarjaz stand - this is normally used as a focal point for most of us

2. Buy a lot of the above and make Dave happy

3. Ditto the above and make Rich happy

4. etc. the above and make everyone who contributes happy

5. If dave has his chinese list to hand get on it

6. Go on the above chinese

7. get ratted meet lots of like minded people draw stupid pictures (see Richmond's post)

8. Have your photo taken with prawn crackers for eyes and noodles ala Master Shi-Fu

9. Go to the pub, get ratted

10. Walk back to your hotel in the morning, forget where it is, get lost, get a kebab, find the hotel, find the bed, read comics fall asleep with the light on, wake up at 7 after two hours sleep, shower, read comics go back to bed...

11. Go to the Con with shades on smelling like a brewery, Go to the FutureQuake / Zarjaz stand and meet the rest of the brewery

LARF- you forgot

12. Do not know who Doug Bradley is.

Never approach an artist from directly in front - this spooks them

Never look one directly in the eye

Never approach one at the urinals

Buy them beer

Pick up everything on a stand to look everything and then don't buy it. If you think you can pull off a crotch scratch then go for it, but keep that shit subtle.

Colin Zeal · 13 January, 2011, 02:40:38 PM

I've always preferred to be as brazen as possible when it comes to the crotch scratching. Look someone directly in the face as you do it as if to say "yeah, I'm doing it. What's it to do with you?"

Peter Wolf · 13 January, 2011, 05:30:47 PM

What about asking the artist if you can get them a drink or something like that while you are waiting and while the artist cant leave their table as they are busy sketching for you ?

Just a thought.
