Pennsic might be very hot, very cold, very dry, and very wet, perhaps all in a single day. Plan for contingencies.
Natural fibers are better than polyester. Wool keeps you warm in the cold and wet, and linen keeps you cool in the heat.
Try to do something new. Pennsic is a great way to explore new activities -- classes, dancing, playing music, archery, whatever. Yeah, sometimes you need equipment, though sometimes there's loaner stuff available.
Pennsic is big and spiffy; you'll see lots of stuff there you'll never see elsewhere. Try to make one circuit of the entire camp. You don't have to do it all at once, and there are haywagons to help.
Caffeine and alcohol dehydrate. That doesn't mean don't drink them, but it does mean to make sure you drink plenty of water to compensate.
I assume if you're providing his tent and food then he's camping with you, so he won't be off on his own. Having a group you can lean on and ask advice of is important for a newcomer, I think.
