Tip #1: Even though the convention center's Internet connection is spotty, do everything you can to remember to upload that comic strip you finished within that 2 minute window of Internet usability.

Tip #2: Don't accidentally smash your power cord between a chair leg and the hard floor. It renders it useless and makes it difficult to upload that comic strip you forgot to upload once your laptop battery is completely drained.

Tip #3: Coffee is good.
