First, I wanna say... Is it safe to come out 
now? :) This can be an emotional hobby at times, 
neh?

I'm looking forward to my first anime convention, 
and although I will be tagging along with a 
native tour guide who has given me his opinion on 
the matter, I have a question for the rest of you.

Do you usually? sometimes? never? take your cels 
with you to a con?  I'd love to show my cels off, 
but I'd probably commit sepukku if something 
happened to them while I was away.  If you DO 
take your cels -- and I know some of you do -- 
what kind of precautions do you take?

I hope to meet some of you in a couple of weeks 
and to drool over your cels.  Not literally, of 
course... (Although I'm getting to that age where 
one has to expect such things to happen...)
