I would recommend bringing some food, preferably protein, as eateries around any con tend to be expensive.
If you want artwork, you can bring a sketchbook. But be sure to go to the artist's alley / dealer's den very early in the con if you want to leave the con with your art.
Bring a camera.
Don't worry. Nobody bites.
See above. Bring a camera.
And ask to hug. You get a yes all the time.
