Shout out to @thatbronzegirl.bsky.social for the spare socks tip!

As for going to the con! Wear comfy shoes, and bring an extra pair of socks with you to change mid day. Seems weird but your feet will be happy, I swear.

#TwitchCon has bag size restrictions but try to carry the following list of items with you for comfort: (see next post)

That's enough out of me with the unasked for thread of pre-con and at con tips. Y'all that are going to TwitchCon (or other events this weekend) be safe, have a great time and I'll see some of you in San Diego! ✌️

Again its the nature of what we do as broadcasters and entertainers. We simply can't know every single chatter or community member. Also if you see them outside the con, assess if its a good time to go say hi or ask for a selfie.

Being chill when interacting with your faves goes a long way!!

Lastly, don't be a parasocial weirdo if you see a streamer you're a fan of out and about during the show. The very nature of streaming is parasocial AF but making it weird in person is 1000x worse than just being weird in chat.

Don't be offended if they don't know you personally.

Unfortunately things you want to see and do will likely overlap. Tis a sad reality of convention attendance. It's also perfectly fine to leave the con and get some fresh air!

Try to leave and get food away from the con in the evenings if you can.

Remember you don't need to see and do everything at the con! Many big panels will be streamed and you can see the vod later. Especially if this is your first convention!

If you haven't gotten the TwitchCon app, download it and get an idea of panels/events you want to see.

It may seem weird to have to say take a shower daily but y'all. Some of the events I've been to have straight up been full of stanky people who wear the same clothes all weekend and don't wash up. It'll make you feel better to be clean. Trust me.

Before heading out to the con each day, if you can lay out your clothes or just pick them. Shower, and carry lotion and hand sanitizer. Every con winds up with a wall of funk at some point and its gross. Deodorant & toothpaste with mouth wash is your friend & everyone else's!

If you can get one, carry a drink cover to parties you'll be attending. Especially if you don't know many people or need to put your drink down and don't have someone to hold it while you hit the restroom or need both hands for a moment.

Don't make plans publicly on the TL! Don't share where you are staying in posts on here (or other socials) be mindful of accidentally showing your hotel name or location in posts!

Share photos post event & get consent from others who are in your shots before sharing. (ideally)

If you are rooming with someone and are not planning to be joined at the hip all weekend; again let them know your plans so no one is worried if you aren't back to the room before super late in the evening.

Trade contact info and best way to touch base before or upon arrival in San Diego.

Safety first! If you are traveling solo, make sure someone back home knows your hotel and flight info. Check in and let folks know you made it safely to SAN (San Diego's airport code) and your hotel. With everything going on in the world, try not to cause extra worry.

Mask up on the flight(s) in!

With #TwitchConSanDiego this weekend, time for another convention tips & etiquette thread no one asked for, but hopefully you can use!

Feel free to pin, save, share for other cons you may have left this year.

It's amazing. Dude basically teaches you how to make Legend of Zelda: LTTP.

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?
