Ahhhh I'm in the same boat, I dislike energy drinks. If they handed out juice or water I'd be all over that, though!
That's good! That definitely does make it go faster. At the LA Convention center there's a Starbucks on the second floor, and that line is actually horrendous. I can't imagine having to work there, taking all those orders and nonstop pumping out drinks... ><;; Hahah, picnic style is totally how I've always done it too. XD Trying to find a place to eat in the actual con center is a disaster!

A couple of times my friends have gone out to eat in cosplay, at a nearby Denny's. It's pretty hilarious to walk into Denny's and see like, all of the Naruto cast eating breakfast for dinner together. XD

I love going out to restaurants in cosplay, it's so much fun! But I feel like the locals just get less and less surprised by it every year hahaha.

It's been a while since I've been to Anime North, but I remember there being a lot of free space outside. I don't remember any indoor food courts or anything like that, just fast food places everywhere, lol. Then again it takes place in various hotels instead of one big centre, so I guess that makes sense. It's by the airport, I think? So there's lots of places to go to.
I used to practice smiling when i'm feeling sad, y'know.

This is only my second year going, sadly. :( My first time was six years ago so I have no idea if they still do that. I really hope they do though!!

Darn my lack of money :sob:
