Seeing this 3 hours before comic con, you are a LIFESAVER my dear friend

If you intend to buy prints. You should bring an A4 folder if you can if you don't mind taking a bigger bag, it makes sure any prints you buy from any artist alley or merch store wont bend or break, plus it keeps your stuff more organised in your bag so you aren't sorting through bag clutter though the day.

i use cash as a budget reminder. still have the card, but if i don't have the cash. i know to keep that in mind. trying to remember 3 items is easier than 14 items. or i make notes on how much each stop was to keep a running tally

I've never been in a comic con, but my mom told me one day she'll bring me there, and since I want to cosplay König from Call Of Duty for Halloween this helped me a lot! New sub and thank you so much for this "tutorial"

Can I just say I love how bubbly you are when explaining. I'm going to my first con in a week and I have been binging your channel. You never make people feel dumb, infact as an asthmatic I never really thought about spray on deoderant from others but the fact you're mentioning it to keep other people in mind just made my heart so full! Thank you for your videos and I think your checklist is super cute
