Getting More Info

The old saying of ask and you shall receive is very fitting in this. If you are attending a convention, you should find out all you can about how the convention is run. A lot of conventions have discussion broads; it’s just a matter of finding them. Check out the convention website and look for a link and if that fails do a search for it.

There read all you can about what people experiences were/are with that convention. If you are going to a convention just to see a certain celeb/artiest you may be able to find a fan broad that can give you a great deal of information. Once your then ASK QUESTIONS! Most people in fandom are always willing to help out newbies (newbie: someone who is new to fandom/conventions). And you might get more info on fan sites (about certain celeb/artists) then you get from the convention itself.

If you’re looking for conventions here are some websites that might help (please note this is not a complete list, only a few I could find):
