Title: what to carry
Post by: ayame_nguyen on November 19, 2009, 08:33:03 PM
So i've only been to fanime once and this year 2010 will be my 2nd year.
does anyone have any tips on what to carry  stuff in? cause isn't it hard if you're going to cosplay too?  ???

last year i only cosplayed 1 day and i wore shorts underneath so i would have a place to put my phone D:
for 2010 i'm planing to cosplay all days. i can't leave my phone at home since i need to call someone to pick me up. nor can i leave my money home.
if i did i'd starve  >:( i don't have a hotel room either so i can't leave it in the room. i live too close to get a room.

i will be carrying like my phone, money, camera and stuff like that.
do you have any ideas for me?
thanks~  :D

What cosplay are you planning?
That would help alot in us being able to give suggestions specific for you.  For general carrying stuff around I thought I saw another thread about bags and other stuff.

I use a pouch (fanny pack). It's really useful and looks good with any cosplay IMO. ;)

If you are traveling by plane and you are cosplaying I would recommend a garment bag..that always help so your cosplay outfits are not totally wrinkled when you get them out.  As far as wigs would go normally they will go in any suitcase, but I would definately put them in individual zip lock bags.  Another tip is to style your wig BEFORE you actually pack it, that will save you a looot of time.  Cosplaying and taking a plane is a hassel ...cause you always have that WHAT IF bug in the back of your head praying to GOD the bag with part of your cosplay is not lost..LOL :P

Here (http://forums.fanime.com/index.php/topic,13165.0.html) is a fairly recent thread on what people carry, in case you want more ideas.
