if you attach keychains or straps or whatnot with jingling bells to your wallet or money pouch, you'll have a higher chance of hearing it should it ever drop out of your cosplay or otherwise removed from your body without your authority  ;D

-- story of heartwarming hope --
last con my DS pouch with my DS and all my games dropped out of my purse and i didnt even notice it.  some jolly fellow tapped me from behind, handed it to me and was like, "hey you dropped this."  i was so happy and thanked him like 10 billion times haha.

back in high school, our whole anime club gathered at school in the morning, then before first period started we were outta there caravan style lol.  took us just under an hour to get to the westin.  (fanime 01).

;D

i'll generally spend time scouring the dealers hall for the goods im specifically looking for during the first few days of the con but for the last day i'll always invest in a grab bag.  what can i say - i find excitement in the gamble.  it's become a tradition actually where my buddies and i get different ones from different booths and then open them together to see who got shafted the hardest lol.  but yes, as Nyxyin said, it's not a waste if your enjoy the adventure of unknown exploration hehe.
