NOTE FROM DAVE:

If you’ve never been to an SF convention,
it can be a very interesting event.
Here are some things you should NOT do while attending.

The Top 10 Things Not to Do
at a Science Fiction Convention

10> Wear white storm trooper armor after Labor Day.

9> Ask an author to sign your cleavage: Most science fiction writers would rather not touch your man-boobs.

8> Turn up sporting a light saber *and* a Klingon forehead.

7> Filk outside of the carefully marked filking zones.

6> At the registration desk, answer every question with, “I’m sorry, I can’t do that, Dave.”

5> Get drunk and wander out into the street dressed as a Klingon.

4> Yell “Captain Kirk was the worst Star Wars character ever!” And then stand still.

3> Enter the costume contest as the exhumed corpse of Gene Roddenberry, with realistic scent.

2> Remember, no SF con nookie until you’ve determined the sex of the alien!

and the Number 1 Thing Not to Do at a Science Fiction
Convention…

1> Hit on the Hot Green Chick. I don’t care if you’re “better looking than the average SF geek.” She’s really tired of it. Just. Don’t.
