Feel free to add on to this list as you see fit. :)
-Adam has no trouble playing such a childish character
-Inara has a secret
-Jumpsuit three was the "cameltoe jumpsuit"
-Jayne's statue had to get a new head
-Nathan kept offering everyone Alliance money
-No matter how many times you see a panel, it's still a lot of fun
-Waiting in line is fun because you can watch the reaction of everyone who didn't think they'd have to.
-There's never enough room for a real Shindig
-Some people don't care that everyone else hasn't seen the movie and will still ask questions about it
-Kevin Sorbo is hilarious
-Dealers' rooms are best visited early in the morning when you can still move through the aisles.
-Pictures must be taken in the middle of busy hallways or at the top/bottom of the escalator
-Adam wants a pull-string on his doll, not a button. ("I'll be in my bunk")
-Yes, they actually did know what they were saying in Chinese (My very own question :) )
Add on as you see fit!
"How about it, Inara? Think you can stoop to being on my arm for a night?
"Will you wash it first?"

(I was thinking of starting this same thread myself!)
-Ron Glass is a great hugger. (How do I know? Because HE HUGGED ME!!!)
-Browncoats are the shiniest gorram people in the'verse. I already knew this, but D*C reminded me why I love you all.
-Wearing a Jayne hat in public is a great way to tell people about Firefly.
actual example:
Goth chick: What's with all these hats?
Me: Ever heard of a show by Joss Whedon called Firefly?
GC: Is that the one they're making a movie about?
Me: Yeah. The eps are airing Friday at 7pm on SciFi or you can check out the DVDs on Netflicks. The movie's coming out Sept 30.
GC: But why the hat?
Me: Watch the show!! (walk away, enjoy confused expressions on the faces of the goths.) Bwah!
-There is always a party going on somewhere.
-Camelbacks aren't just for water.
-Crowded elevators are a great way to meet new people. Also, new smells. Not all of them good.
-It is possible to live an entire weekend off of alcohol, the free junk food at the Con suite and the occasion hour nap. I don't recommend it at all, but it is possible. Just make sure you're always leaning against something because you tend to get really dizzy.
-Calling someone a whore is a great way to tell them you love them.
-It's okay to run around in public naked as long as you're covered in blue paint.
-Shiny is the shiniest word ever. And it cannot be used to much.
-Dragon*Con TV is the best channel ever.
-Ron's first job ever was selling MaryKay when he was 7. Quote him: "You do whatever it takes in the ghetto."
-The theme of Firefly makes a great marching chant.
-The Stormtrooper restaurant of choice? Hooters.
-DO NOT wear a red chinese dress on the streets in downtown Atlanta. Men will pull over their cars and try to get you to come with them.
And that's enough for now.
Who else?

I can jog up 10 flights of stairs in about 2 minutes (and beat the elevator). But don't try going down 10 flights in 4" heels. It's painful. 
And next year I really am going to bring wire cutters and start cutting off fairy wings. If you don't know how large your costume is, don't wear it. Go with the blue body paint instead 
But my favorite- "I have seen some shit I will never forget." Ron Glass on what he thought of D*C

Yep. Evil funk that feels suspiciously like a sinus infection. Stupid dry air conditioning not filtering 20,000 people's germs out of the air...
It's very not shiny. oops, I said shiny. Could someone pass the shot glass?

SHINY!!!
Best drinking game ever.
My face is so dry my skin is flaking from how dry it was. It's awful.

hey y'all *waves*
- If you plan on coming to D*C, plan on staying all four days, football games be damned!
- The mystic forces within the con hotels feed off cell phone batteries, so keep 'em charged
- Any time during the day that can be used for catnaps, should be used for catnaps. You'll thank yourself later.
- Having someone stop you and ask to take your photo is one of the shinest feelings ever
- Klingons on holiday are a jovial lot

-There's a whole acre of us, and we're getting bigger. I thought we were hugh last year. Lines around the block to get into a panel.
-If we're this big next year, some of the Stormtroppers (that aren't too busy hanging out at Hooters) said they were coming as Alliance.
-Shindigs are fun. Jewel and Matty like to DJ.
-Ron Glass has the best laugh ever.
-Browncoats tend to drink. Sometimes too much.
-D*C underestimates us.
-Browncoats from L.A. and Australia are great fun in lines.
-Walking around a Con with one of ShinyHappyKlin's "Browncoat" bags gets a lot of "Where did you get that?"
Kilngons and Cobras and Browncoats oh my.

Hey Torquemada!! *waves back*
-Working at the fan table on the last day is the best way to get free swag. And meet BDHs.
-To find a good party, just follow BC1.
-The signal is spreading. Like wildfire. It's exciting.
