Pre-con:
Make at least one cosplay myself instead of using found items.
Save more money for the con.
Work out so I look fabulous in cosplay since I'll be there as a kick-ass female character (and no, not someone from Kick-Ass...well, maybe, but that's not who I'm talking about here).
Hopefully, pre-register.
Get a hotel room so I don't have to drive an hour to get to the con every day.
At con:
Not be a chicken, so I can actually be okay with asking people for pictures. I did it a few times this year so I'm getting better.
Take more photos.
Make some friends/ask for the names of people I talk to.
Enter in the cosplay craftsmanship contest since I'll have a fully self-made cosplay.
Go to more panels.
