(10) Don't be that guy
You know. The guy who asks the TV actor how fast the ship could fly, or who asks
the comic book inker if he doesn't think that the March 2006 issue severely
conflicts with July 1994 issue. Don't be that guy. Just don't.

What you're talking about are the huge media cons such as DragonCon, ComicCon, etc. SF cons are generally much smaller, more intimate, and have a lot fewer media-related events. Writers are the big draws at those conventions, and they outnumber the big media shows by a considerable margin. Try going to one sometime.

If you think long lines, packed events, free swag, and geeks as far as the eye can see are something at a sci-fi con, you've clearly never been to a Microsoft product launch. You'd think all those guys had never seen free pens before! ("Dude...You know you can buy a whole BOX of those - especially on your salary!")
