Convention advice needed

Hi guys,

I’m prepping for my first big convention, I’m staying in a hotel with my friends for the weekend and I’m stressing a little. I have a few questions that I’m too nervous to ask my mates incase I look stupid, so any advice would be greatly appreciated!!

• Am I allowed to bring things like Panadol in my bag?
• Is it normal to bring my own food to the con?
• Is it normal to not buy things? I’m really broke right now and can’t afford it.
• what time do you normally show up?
• is it okay to not cosplay the second day?

Thankyou!!!!!
