LeakyCon 2012
Chicago, Illinois. The Hilton Chicago
!Welcome! [  ]

If you're here, chances are you'll be attending LeakyCon 2012! (If not, maybe next year?)

First and foremost, I would like to clearify that this blog is not the official LeakyCon Tumblr, and that I am just an attendee trying to help others out with as much as I can from my past experience at LeakyCon 2011.

The entire purpose of this blog is for Tumblr Users attending LeakyCon to have a space to meet one another, make friends and ask (me) questions!

There's a big list of people who are attending, to add your name to this list, just send me a message with your 1. Name, 2. Type of registration and 3. Your URL!

If LeakyCon 2012 is your first con, this blog might be super helpful for you! I made a list of items that you should think about bringing, as well as how to best organize your time so you can participate in all the things LeakyCon has to offer.

Feel free to ask me any questions you'd like, I'm here to help! :)

Hi! How early are you expected to get in line for things such as the signings? You mentioned you were first in the rockstar line for one of them; how many hours early did you get there?

That’s a funny story actually.

I went to wait in the regular line maybe 4 hours before, and there was 7 or 8 people in front of me, they were in groups. After a half hour a volunteer came and told us we couldn’t wait here this early because John and Hank were doing a signing in the same room first, and told us we had to leave.

So I left and went into the main room to watch a panel I believe, and after maybe an hour I got up and went to walk around and I saw that there was a HUGE line for Starkid forming. I was pretty pissed, since I was one of the first in line and now that the line had grown, I was going to be waiting a lot longer. But I looked to the front of the line and saw the same girls who I was waiting behind as before, so I walked up to them and told them that I was told to leave and when I came back the line was huge, and asked if I could wait behind them. They were super nice and said I could have my spot back.

I was waiting maybe 5 minutes? When a lady came out of the signing room and asked for the people with Rockstar passes. I was the first in line, in that whole section, who had a Rockstar pass. So I was first to be pulled out of the regular line to be put in the Rockstar one.

I was incredibly lucky that those girls let me have my spot back, and even luckier that they had a Rockstar line haha.

Anyway, I’d say go and wait in line maybe 4 hours before. If they tell you to leave, pretend to walk away but stay around the area to make sure what happened to me, doesn’t happen to you. 

If you’re a Rockstar, I guess try asking the person watching the door where the Rockstar line starts. Always ask, asking will get you into things that other people won’t do because they didn’t ask.
