Graphic Tees
Decide which aspect of your nerdom you want to represent at the convention. Comic book nerd? Movie buff? Dr. Who fan? Pack accordingly. Also, don’t wear it unless you love it. Superfans have been known to tear posers to shreds a la David’s disembowelment in Shaun of the Dead. Hell hath no fury like a nerd horde with the scent of wannabe in their nostrils. Be prepared for Marvel vs. DC conversations that will get heated.
Clean Underoos
Not just for kids anymore, there are so many options. Superman, Batman, Hello Kitty. Depending on how things go, someone may be saying hello to your kitty. Impress them in your overpriced hotel room with more than your knowledge of Deadpool and Bat-signal wax jobs. Just don’t write your name in them.
Comfy Pants
Convention food and being on your feet for hours can lead to bloat. With potty breaks a non-priority when you could be gazing into the magic that is Sergio Aragonés’ mustache or humping Christopher Moore’s leg, you’ll want to have room for your full bladder and binge bowel to grow. Adult diaper? Nah, you’re not that crazy NASA lady. (Is that joke outdated? Hmm. Nope. Pooping on yourself for revenge is hilarious.)
Comfy Shoes
Walking the halls of geekdom is rough on one’s tootsies. Add a steel toe for nerds jostling in line for the Bruce Campbell talkback. Oh, crap. How can I wear flats when I go see Bruce Campbell? That would be insanity. Pack one pair of heels for fan-desperation.
Modest Pajamas
There’s always one person on a road trip who brings inappropriate sleepwear for sharing a bed with someone he or she is not dating. Get footsies, long johns, boxers, whatever … just leave the lingerie at home. A graphic tee and flannel pants go a long way and can double as day wear. This is not a Hollywood road trip film. Cover your naughty bits. Or be the first to die.
Deodorant/Perfume/Body Wash/Anything That Smells Nice
There’s something about the excitement of a Con that makes B.O. increase. Maybe you walked 15 blocks from your hotel to save some cash, or you sweat anytime you see a female/male in a superhero costume. Whatever the case, please be kind and refresh yourself throughout the day. Even if you’re sleeping in your car outside the convention center because all the hotels sold out in 2 days, make sure you keep up on your personal hygiene. No one wants to be next to a dude in line who smells like Juggernaut’s balls after a long day of smashing shit.
Condoms
Just kidding. You probably won’t be getting laid. You’re at ComicCon!
Whatever you pack, make sure to bring the sense of childlike joy to the Convention Center. Don’t be a dick. BATHE!
