First trip - how to prepare?

Hi all,
I'm planning to have my first mushroom trip soon. Problem is, I have never even tried marijuana before. I'm not all that experienced in the "drug" department besides one (regrettable) DPH trip. That wasn't fun. And obviously I have drank before.
Just looking for tips on what I can expect my first time, and how to prepare. Tips besides the obvious (be calm, listen to Pink Floyd, have a sitter, etc.). Any specific foods I should/shouldn't eat, movies to watch, activities to do, whatever will help me to have a good time!
Thanks in advance!

Yeah I know not to eat much.
Also, is the vitamin C myth true? I was thinking to consume the mushrooms I would just make a mushroom and orange juice smoothie (to mask the taste).
I am aware that I shouldn't watch stupid movies. Was planning on just chilling around the house as was said.

Planning on just a bit to start to see how strong they are. Maybe around an eighth. Nothing ridiculous the first time.

Read up a bit... Prior pot use probably isn't helpful for mushrooms
http://www.magic-mushrooms.net/taking.html
http://www.shroomery.org/6267/A-Beginners-Approach-to-Psychedelic-Mushrooms
It's helpful if you work on your set and setting...
Need to be in a safe and comfortable place Need at least 6 hrs where no one has any expectations of you Turn off your phone
Relax... It will be a good experience... Stay positive
People have been taking mushrooms for thousands of years...
Peace

Thanks HarryL.
I have been doing a lot of reading on Erowid about experiences. Those links should be useful!

Make a long play list of music you like. It's a pain in the ass to use technology when you're tripping. Fruit is amazing also. Having sober people around can cause some anxiety too so avoid having any around. It's ok to have a sober friend around as long as they don't talk too much and ask stupid questions like "what are you seeing?" or especially if they think it's funny to try and fuck with you.

Thanks searching. Was planning on making a playlist, maybe watching Cosmos (Carl Sagan) or an Imax documentary. Thanks for the fruit tip!
I will make sure to have a sober person (girlfriend) present to help me out and monitor me, but leave me alone for the most part.

Just be chill and don't fight the mushrooms, let them take you where they want.
If you start having a "bad trip" just remember that it is just the mushrooms and you'll be fine in a few hours.
Get some starbursts to eat while tripping, I promise you'll love eating them while tripping, it's indescribable.
And I hate sitters, unless they are very experienced with psychedelics.
I also don't like constantly listening to music, sometimes I like to enjoy the silence while tripping.

Thanks mjmihalov. Some people have suggested marijuana or Xanax or similar to its calming effects if having a bad trip. Anything like that that anyone would recommend in case of emergency?
I have a friend who is slightly more experienced - frequent marijuana user and has done MDMA a few times. Would it be a good idea to have him present instead? Would it be a bad idea for him to take mushrooms for the first time too?
Thanks again all

get yr buddy with experience, give him some shrooms too, & y'all have fun... probably more fun than you've ever had... don't overthink it... don't worry about bad trips... bad trips are much more frequent on the internet than in real life... i'm 41 years old, been tripping since i was 14, hundreds of trips, & i had the first thing i'd even consider a "bad" trip last year... & it wasn't too bad, kinda fun actually... was it a bit scary, sure... but so are horror movies & roller coasters... we do them shits for fun, too... the easiest way to not have a bad trip is to never even consider it a possibility...
& i like yr style, starting with an eighth... a lot of people will recommend you start with gram-sized doses... i kinda think they are silly... if a thing is worth doing, it's worth doing right...
have fun, trip balls...

Thanks leon trout! Took a bit of worry off my mind. I'm sure no matter what it will be a fun and interesting experience! My friend is also excited to take the shrooms.
Now to wait for them to finish growing... hopefully no contams my first time
