Crash Facepalm's Guide to Surviving a Sci-Fi and Fantasy Convention

Hello, fellow space cadets! Crash Facepalm here, your favorite astronaut reporter with some tips on how to survive the insanity of a sci-fi and fantasy convention. Trust me, I've been to more of these things than I care to admit, and I've survived them all (mostly).

#1: Dress the Part

If you're going to a sci-fi and fantasy convention, you gotta look the part. Whether you're dressing up as a dashing space captain, a fearsome orc warrior, or a sexy alien princess, make sure your costume is on point. And if you're not into cosplay, don't worry - just wear a t-shirt with your favorite sci-fi author's face on it. I recommend Neil Gaiman, because who doesn't love a good British accent?

#2: Don't Get Starstruck

Okay, I know it's tempting to freak out when you see your favorite celebrity walking around the convention floor. But trust me, they're just people. I once accidentally spilled coffee on George R.R. Martin and he didn't even get mad (although he did mutter something about "winter coming" under his breath). So be cool, be collected, and don't ask them to sign your body parts. That's just creepy.

#3: Embrace the Weirdness

Let's face it - sci-fi and fantasy conventions are weird. But that's what makes them so much fun! Where else can you see a panel discussion about the science of lightsabers, or watch a Klingon opera? So don't be afraid to embrace the weirdness. I once spent an entire day at a convention dressed as a Tribble and it was the best day of my life (until I accidentally got stuck in a hotel air vent, but that's a story for another day).

#4: Stay Hydrated

This may seem like common sense, but it's easy to forget when you're caught up in the excitement of a convention. Make sure you drink plenty of water, especially if you're wearing a costume that doesn't breathe. And if you're going to be drinking anything else, make sure it's not Romulan ale - that stuff will
