I've been going the past 4 or 5 years, and I've come down to this: Take nothing.
​
I've always been 'prepared' every year.. backpack, snacks, poster tube, autograph book and pens/markers, etc. I've used none of it. Granted, my experience may be different than some.. I spend my time walking and looking. LOTS of walking... like 12 hours a day every day for 4.5 days. This shit begins to hurt.. in addition to the extreme foot pain, my back and shoulders hurt, and all for nothing.
​
This year, this is my plan:
Visit a podiatrist (I have shitty feet.. long and narrow with a high arch, and Im a bit heavier than Ideal) to possibly find a proper shoe.
Wear cargo shorts.. can keep a minimal amount of stuff in them and help keep the weight down.
No backpack. I was REALLY hoping for a downtown hotel this year, but of course I didnt get one, so my plan is to get a bag wherever I go, or possibly buy one of the ultralight bags that fold down to pocket size, something like ( https://www.amazon.com/Trek-Light-Gear-Ultralight-Daypack/dp/B00GRUDFD6?th=1 ). Fill it up during one of my shopping treks, then make use of the bag holding services. Its like $10/bag, but makes it so you dont have to carry it around all day; just need to get it from there to your hotel at the end of the day.
Snacks can be had everywhere.. it may cost a bit more, but when you're already spending $1500 or more for tickets, hotel, etc.. whats a few more dollars really?
Poster Tube.. theyre about $10. Buy one if you need one.. you're not always going to end up with posters, and carrying it around without a need sucks. If you get a poster, just walk with it over to one of the 3-4 people selling them and grab one.
If you do intend to stay in lines (they're getting worse and worse every year, so much so that I don't even bother anymore), you're probably better off just sitting on the floor. Carrying around a chair all day, even an expensive $100+ ultralight will suck. You're more likely to need the chair BECAUSE you're carrying the chair.
​
Don't bother with a jacket. If you can't stand a little discomfort, you really shouldn't be going to any con. It will also only be coolish at night, so you won't spend a whole lot of time out in it.
​
Put on sunscreen before you leave the hotel.. if you feel you will need a refresh, find the smallest tube you can that will fit in a pocket.
Sunglasses are great, but again, an additional item to carry around.. is it worth it? Most of your time will be spent in doors, or in the Gaslamp District where you'll be surrounded by tall buildings.
​
Refillable water bottle? Grab one of those plastic bottles that crumples at the slightest touch. They're refillable too, and can be compressed down and shoved into a pocket when empty. No need to carry around a 5 pound stainless steel bottle with carabiner and shit.. just fill up the bottle, drink it and go.. it can fit into a pocket even when full usually.. as long as you're not wearing girls pants.
​
Decide whether or not you intend to do any quality photo shoots. If not, your phone will most likely suffice. Turn off gps, bluetooth, nfc, etc to prolong battery life. At most, you will likely only need a very small pen sized battery throughout the day, not some large 10Ah+ batteries. Every year I go, I tend to have the latest power hungry phone, and I've never had battery issues, but I also don't take a whole lot of photos, and I don't play games on it while in line.

Everything is subjective based on your intentions. Are you standing in the Hall H line? Are you standing in the smaller (but still ridiculous) lines? Are you wandering looking for merchandise? Are you actively seeking out celebs for autographs? Are you going to any of the parties? Are you solo or with a group?
If this is your first time, you may want to fully prep yourself with everything.. who knows, you may end up with a very different experience than someone like me. Me personally though, I'm downsizing.
