Grendelrose chibimajo Well, we have to wait for it to be around for a little while first, but, I know at least one mod knows it's here.... It's basically, whatever the mods think should be stickied, is. I've heard varying reports.... over at Molestation, they heard 2 weeks, when the EVIL was trying to be stickied, they had to keep it at the top of the first page for a month, but I've seen stuff get stickied faster than that in Q&F. |

Here's my own addition to the Con Food section.
Ramune: This fizzy soda is a mess and a half to open unless you really luck out. It's practically pure sugar. As such, if you can find it cheap in the dealer's room it's a really good pick-me-up if you get a sudden blood sugar drop (which CAN happen and is normally signaled by a complete and utter sudden lack of energy in any form). Otherwise I'd recommend avoiding it as your sole beverage. It can cause you to gain weight from all the calories, plus its high sugar content will result in energy yo-yoing. Which is bad. Ramen: An Atkins nightmare, ramen is still one of the more valid con foods. While it doesn't have much nutritional value, ramen is still an ideal pick-me-up snack that doesn't seem to cause as much of the energy yo-yoing that ramune does. Of all the con foods, if you have to live on just ramen alone you'll probably do least damage to yourself (than if you lived on Pocky or Yan Yan alone). I'd still recommend avoiding using ramen for more than two meals a day. Pocky: The ultimate con classic! Pocky at conventions is cheap, sugary, and considered to be delicious. Still, living solely on Pocky is NOT a good idea, even for just a day. It too has a very high sugar content which will cause your energy levels to spike and flag. That's bad. And you can really make yourself sick on the Décorer Pocky. (This is the voice of experience talking...) Basically keep Pocky as a snack food. And no, if you're doing the two-ramen-meals thing, Pocky CANNOT be your third meal. That's a surefire way to make yourself sick with exhaustion after the con. Yan Yan: For our intents and purposes, Yan Yan is the same as Pocky. The same cautions apply. If anybody has any more "Con Food Classics" to review, I'll write them up. RECOMMENDED CON FOODS -Ramen (but not as 100% of your food!) -Dehydrated cup-of-soup or cup-of-beans or such -Dried fruit -WATER -Granola |

I've always seen Pocky and Ramune more expensive at cons than I could find locally...

chibimajo I've always seen Pocky and Ramune more expensive at cons than I could find locally... Yeah, but to most people who don't live near a place other than Suncoast that sells Pocky and Ramune, it's cheap. Plus it's "OMG JAPANESE!!!!" so people will be more inclined to buy it at a con. |

I reccomend mini muffins for con foods. There's about six in a packet, you can carry them in your bag/purse, and they're a great snack. I always bring them with me.

Grendelrose LiaFairyle Ramen: An Atkins nightmare . . . Yeah, seriously, but think about how many people in America are on low-carb diets... @_@ |

Little update to two posts...
I'm debating a title change... something like, 'First Convention? Click here!' Or 'Read this to know what to expect at a Con' |

I also think this should be stickied. It's very infomative and helpful to me personally. Otakon is my first convention and I have a general idea of what it's gonna be like and you have helped me more prepare.
Also if you wanna i have a thread here that could help cosplayers with their costumes. It has many links. (havent counted and am afraid to do so sweatdrop ) http://bildeau.gaiaonline.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1617694 If you wanna add it to something go ahead, if not disreguard it. biggrin |
