If you could have one superpower during a convention weekend, what would it be?

Unlimited energy after three days on the con floor? Instantly teleporting between panels? Unlimited carrying capacity for merch? The ability to skip lines? Never overheating in cosplay?

Choose wisely. Your convention survival may depend on it.
