A few kitchen trash bags come in handy if you need to sit on wet grass or dirty pavement.

I use WB bags for that. ;)

Hydration is everything. I carry a kids-size Superman Thermos and refill throughout the day.

My SDCC satchel and kicks arrived!

What are you, Worf? Do you tremble and quake with fear at the approach of combat? Hoping to talk your way out of a fight like a Human? Or do you hear the cry of the warrior, calling you to battle, calling you to glory like a Klingon?

Those are some nice shoes.  Ohhh, I like that they are blue.

(Your decor in that photo looks nice too, ha ha.  There are fancy rugs and even a table runner!)

I found that along with a refillable water bottle, that the other most used item was a portable recharger. Went thru battery life like crazy.

If you're like me and need a coffee boost in the middle of the day, get some of those Starbucks doubleshot cans BEFORE you leave for con - Ralphs is always cleaned out of them by the time I get there for my supplies. This will also save you having to wait in the huge 'Bucks line at the convention center.

That's a good idea even the Starbucks bottles would be a good addition for my group.

We always have 5 hour energy, water bottles, and protein bars.  Sometimes I cannot justify any more crap convention food (but at other times it is really frickin' good).

After spending all night and all day in line for or in Hall H, the convention center nachos start to look like filet mignon.

This one is a little obsessive (who, me?), but I recently ordered a Freddy Funko from the Funko site. When it came in, it was in a larger box with the Pop itself inside a small nicely fitted box. After I unboxed it, I noticed the bottom of the box was from a familiar packaging company Uline with a Uline PN for a standard, off the shelf box (I go to their website for my job quite often to verify ordering PNs to load to our system). It's Uline PN S-4063 and is very sturdy and fits the Pop really well. I plan to buy some and bring a couple with me for shipping any Pops back home. It will give me a little extra piece of mind. They will be flat, so they shouldn't take up too much room in my luggage.

I can also use them for any trades within some of the Funko groups I belong to. I have been hesitant to do trades because shipping is so critical and I would want to do it right.

Not sure if this has been mentioned.....I like the Star Kiss Tuna packets from Wal-Mart that are seasoned for like $1 each. Carry mustard, relish and mayo packets, like from restaurants to add in.
