3. Let The Fun Come To You
As much as I’ve talked about planning, some of the best con moments I’ve ever had were unplanned. Sometimes, these magical moments happened when I was waiting through a panel I hadn’t planned to go to for a later one. Like when I accidently got into the Mythbusters panel moderated by Wil Wheaton. Or when I found myself in a giant sing-a-long to the Duck Tales theme song at the Capcom panel.
Or what about moments just on the con floor, like when I pushed past a swarm of dead-stopped people only to find the thing they were staring at: the entire cast of The Walking Dead. Or when I stumbled upon a Video Games Live concert and spent an hour listening to awesome music, culminating in the Tetris theme performed as an opera. That experience was one of the best I’ve ever had, and if I hadn’t been in precisely the right place at the right time, then it never would have happened. And no one should ever have to miss out on a Tetris Opera. Ever.
