Im a first year pax goer and i know there are a ton of you out there who this will be there first, so I thought it might be good (fun) to make somewhat of a list as to what you should bring to pax.
here is my list that i can think of so far:
basic stuff (cloths, hygene products, money etc etc.)
my nintendo DS w/games
PSP w/games
dnd stuff
magic the gathering
mana potions/health potions
show us all your list, give us ideas.
we dont want to get to pax and see everyone with a certian item and say to ourselves "oh i wish i brought mine/ bought one"

"Dude, I think he's a zombie."
"No he's not, he's dead."
"But he's still walking around."
"Which makes him one of the walking dead."
"Exactly."
"So, he's dead."
"No, that makes him a zombie."

Make sure it is big enough though, to carry any picked up swag. I know I will be using the cloth-ish bag that you can buy from Hot Topic (Music = Life bag, my sister bought it for me a while back). It's big enough to carry my DS, PSP, two decks of cards (Magic and Yu-Gi-Oh (just found them, wanted to use them, DON'T JUDGE ME)), my DnD and Dark Heresy sheets and not even be a quarter full. It is also small enough to not knock people over when I pass. (will post pics and dimensions after, once I can).

Oh backpacks can still work great. just throw it over one shoulder instead of putting it fully on.
Or where it like you're pregnant...
Yes, plenty of people do this. Please keep in mind that 50,000+ (up to 62,000 last I checked) people is a METRIC FUCKTON OF A CROWD. So swinging your bag around like Tarzan is not recommended. :P Also, one shoulder = bag pulling open when weighted down with stuff.
Person who has "music = life" bag from HotTopic: Not big enough. I have that bag, and while great for lunch, it's fail for PAX (uncomfortable strap, poorly balanced when full, flap doesn't attach closed).
Personally I find a messenger bag worn diagonally to be the best compromise of safety, security & function.

I'm a bit of a satchelist. My preferred bag is an old Incase Slim. It has plenty of room for vital electronics, extremely comfortable straps, and is low profile so I don't bludgeon small children when quickly turning left or right to watch Felicia Day walk by.
Alas, no Felicia Day this year. I've got a new theory as to why: she didn't like Mike and Jerry making fun of Dollhouse. :P
Also:...
I've only heard of Felicia Day in name, and have no clue who she is. Does this make me forbidden to come to PAX?
I don't think anything really "forbids" one to attend PAX (aside, perhaps, breaking Rule One), but you should consider getting educated.
HERESY!
No but seriously, watch the links. You won't be disappointed. Not that it matters this year, since apparently she's ditching us.

This is the messenger bag I'm bringing with me to PAX:
Protip: do not put aluminum cans of anything in your bag. They will find whatever they can that is sharp inside and ram themselves against it, causing a suicidal explosion of liquid that will destroy the contents of your bag like a sticky, syrupy grenade.
