For me it would have had to be: "Oh @#$%! I wish I had pre-registered". D;
Defiantly not making that mistake this year. The regular registering line just takes way to long in my case. :<

That's new...and only for the 2006 Memories forum. The 2005 and 2003/2004 forums are similar.

"I think we went in the wrong way" and "where is registration again" were the thoughts in my mind
My friends and I didn't remember that registration was in the Sheraton and weren't sure where to go (it was our first con and we were to excited to think when we got there).
Luckily some nice people pointed us in the right direction...

I think I was just so excited. The minute I saw my first copslayer I was squealing. My sister (who I'd just recently converted to anime/manga) hardly recognized anybody, so I felt so proud being able to identify a lot of the characters.

This was my first con where I cosplayed. I take the train to AB, so my first thought was "What the heck am I doing cosplaying?" The second was, "are all the kids from my town going to be alright? It is their first convention." And the next one was "Will anyone recognize my character?"
Someone said "Oh my gosh! It's Tohru! Hi Tohru."
My final was "This year is going to be awesome."
And it was!
