Granitecon Do’s & Don’ts
DO THIS
• BE FRIENDLY Smile, say hi! Be nice to volunteers, staff, guests, cosplayers, AND each other.
• STAY HYDRATED and take occasional breaks. It can be a long, hot day (or 3).
• SHOWER & USE DEODERANT It’s common courtesy, especially in a sea of humanity.
• ATTEND PANELS from Artists, to Celebrities, to Fandoms – we have something for everyone!
• TALK TO ARTISTS about sketches. Yes, it may cost money, but you’ll get a one-of-a-kind piece of art, and they love drawing for you!
• BE RESPECTFUL of other fandoms; at the end of the day we’re all just fans.
• ASK RED SHIRTS QUESTIONS! They’re your best bet for information and directions!
• Know where the BATHROOMS are (DON’T be afraid to ask).
• STAY TO THE RIGHT while walking through the halls and look out for our tiny fans!
DON’T DO THAT
• Don’t harass cosplayers, they are people just like you.
• Don’t forget your camera; Plenty of sites to see and memories to capture.
• Don’t monopolize a Celebrity’s time! Be polite, be cool and be quick while getting autographs.
• Don’t put your food, drink, or “stuff” on ANY artist, vendor, or celebrity tables.
• Don’t burn yourself out trying to be everywhere—take it slow.
• Don’t be a line-cutter; be patient & be respectful of your fellow fans.
• Don’t leave your personal items, or purchases, behind.
• Don’t lose your badge. Put it in the same place when you take it off.
• Don’t stop in the middle of a crowded walkway to take photos. Move to the side or a less crowded area.
• Don’t wear offensive t-shirts (or anything else) that make Granitecon staff ask you to leave.
