i have some pointers in my mind that i like to share.
all are hypothetically functional.

Pre-Event
1. recharge your batteries. - yeah, recharge both cam batteries n ur body, so night time dont do extra activity ya whistling.gif
2. check your gears, bring good portraiture lens e.g. 50mm 1.8 - I would rather advise bring a good flash gun for indoor events. But there a old tip saying bigger is better. U know what i mean brows.gif
3. bring along your battery charger, or extra batteries -  lao, i think u may shoot up to 100 at max, no need to burst 100 per model doh.gif
4. bring a model posing guidebook e.g. handy book from taiwan photographer Black Noodle  i think most models there know how to pose.  rolleyes.gif 

Event
1. dress nicely. -  u want me to dress with my tuxedo? Or suits up? sweat.gif
2. show your camera to the model u intended to shoot. hi, u see i using Canon EOS-1 Mk4 with 1million MP camera with 18-200 F2.8 lens, best in the world. U think they care? doh.gif
3. say "hi" - Then drool n say can i have ur num?  notworthy.gif 
4. fire away.  - AK47?
5. suggest some decent posing idea by showing the model the posing guidebook. Trust me, u dont have time for that n the massive crowd will prevent u. Occupying their time will annoy their supervisors!
6. if u tag along other photokaki, i might suggest one of u to use the reflector. as above. Like viking says, this will unlikely to happen. Ppl will stare at u thinking WTF u doing instead.....
7. ask "would u like me to send the photos to u?" - Ok that manners smile.gif
8. contact time if the model say "yes". What if the model says "F**k off? "

Post-Event
1. review pictures. -
2. change camera setting or perspective (point of view) if needed.
3. find next model.
I dont get it buddy, ur post event is after pc fair or after shooting one girl?

Pasca-Event
1. post processing.
2. remember to send the model the pictures.
3. Don't forget to post in LYN pc fairs chick thread!!
Why not u just add them in FB (provided they approve ur add) and tag them instead? But by the time u add the girls, u will be heart broken coz most of them stated they r in a relationship. U will see their happy pics hugging kissing with their beloved bfs. That just harsh reality mate wink.gif 
Thank you very much for reading.

and feel free to add more pointers.
*
My feedback as above. Sorry to be skeptical but i found ur post very amusing. sweat.gif

n i think u forget the platinum rule of all. Saying thank you after taking their pic. sigh...........
