When the comedy actually hits you close to home you know it’s doing it’s work right

So what is the 6-2-1 rule?

6 hours of sleep a day
2 meals a day
At least 1 shower. Maybe 2 in some cases.

Ah so more a convention attendee rule rather than an artist rule.

Yup... too many people don't sleep enough or etc at cons...

I attend anime cons regularly a couple times a year. Those rules are common sense to me.

why so many showers? hot weather\stuffy rooms?

First of all, one shower a day isn't that much. That being said, the ambient temperature in a convention hall is usually ten to fifteen degrees warmer than the outside due to all the bodies crammed into the building giving off waste heat.

tbat many showers is targeded towards those who would probably not bother to do one at all during the week/weekend...

A shower per day at a con is mainly emphasised for fursuiters, because of how much a person sweats inside their suit.

However it's also just plain courtesy to other attendees; to be odourless and hygienic in their presence.

THIS. I knew someone a few years ago that would attend scifi conventions in a spandex leotard, and spent the entirety of the convention (3 days!) in said leotard. 'phew' doesn't begin to describe the funk from that.

The '1 shower' rule also implies a fresh set of undergarments as well, by the way. (i.e. "one shower and full change of clothing down to the skin per day".) I know cosplayers that would have three full costumes per day for a three day convention...

and by "two meals a day" meaning two ACTUAL, REAL meals instead of grazing in a convention's attendee break room (if they have one) or snacking on things and calling it a meal.

(disclaimer; helped to run a couple anime cons a number of years ago, and was/is friends with a bunch of people who were/are conrunners.)

Ewwww! Who doesn't already change their undergarments every day, regardless of whether it's a con?

idk who the rainbow haired girl is, but I like her! :D

Oh Noes! Steph has gone Tetris Blind!

I love that Jan and Amber are still wearing their loser headbands.

I know she's a noob convention artist. But you'd think she's be able to stack and sort her sketchbook commissions better at a Tetris convention?

Hehehe oh an this tetris theme made me recall a funny incident at BLFC when I went with a friend and we rode in a airport/hotel mini bus with a bunch of other guests and the driver was busy loading all our luggage and someone said there wouldn't be enough room for their bags and the driver told them not to worry, that he'd make enough room for all the luggage to fit and I, for some wierd reason got tetris in my head and called out NOOOO! if it all fits then it'll flash then dissappear! an everyone laughed... bet that tetris con loses more luggage that way... :P

Seem her sign did draw some attention. Tolda ya: tetris I block alwats do the trick!

Good ol' reliable Jan. x3

Bladder emergency!

honestly never heard of the 6-2-1 rule either, I thought it was just a joke on e621. xP

Same xD

6-2-1 rule... After my first participation in a fursuit parade I had no trouble obeying the "6". When I got back to my hotel room I was so knackered I couldn't muster the strength to extract myself from the suit (zip at the back, and no roommate to assist). Still in suit I collapsed backward onto the bed, my legs dangling over the edge. It was at least 30 minutes before there was enough life flowing through my veins to manage the zip. After I slithered out of the suit I slithered into the bed and slumbered. I forget how many hours passed (missing out on con activities too) but eventually I was recomposed enough to observe the "1" and then had enough appetite to observe the "2".

wait
621?
like uhhhhhh that one site?

Uhoh, the unsynchroniseable cardboard menace (name of which i cannot mention, for marketing reasons) is back!

* Veeeery sided look, with terrible british accent parody* This can only end well...


Also, lol! Looks like the "inner Jessie" had more spring up her tail, than even juiced Amber :D
