For every con, there will be con virgins. Con virgins have never been to a convention, and therefore, have no clue how to survive a con. Indeed, they usually don't even know that it needs "surviving" in the first place. I propose that a Con Survival Guide should be included in Kumoricon 2013's swag bags, so that everyone might get the most out of Kumoricon (as opposed to a large number of con virgins falling over exhausted and going home by the second day).
Some survival rules would HAVE TO include:
1. Pace yourself. For every two hours spent on your feet, spend at least one hour sitting down.
2. If cosplaying, bring a repair kit for all parts of your cosplay. Disaster strikes when you are least prepared.
3. SHOWER. Before or after heading to the con for the day, please, please wash off the stink accumulated from walking around all day.
4. Keep yourself hydrated. This ESPECIALLY applies to the con dances.
5. When packing for the con, treat it like a camping trip in the wilderness, except electricity is provided. You'd be surprised how much applies in both situations.
The Survival Guide would include a map of the area, with food places marked.
What rules can you think of to add?
