People want their jobs more in this economy?

Or maybe you got lucky and found someone who believes that anything worth doing is worth doing right?

What do you mean "Does it cause an ungodly mess"?

Its a fairly large convention so it does impact traffic. But other than that and the occasional stupidity in the hotels it doesn't strike me as messy.

And yes, I have been.

meant is there alot of trouble or is it generally fairly orderly, and does it cause chaos in the area with traffic etc. sounds like not too bad either way. so what's it like to attend?

There's a parade associated with it that stops traffic on Saturday. The area it is in is a hotel/convention district so the impact of the event is generally expected (its often not even the only convention or event going on in the area).

There have been problems in the past with non-con goers harrassing con-goers (particularly women in costume) and there's been some trouble in the hotels late night with drunken con goers.

The con is essentially two parts, the main con which is fairly typical for a media/genre convention - exhibitors and dealers in areas where you can purchase things, celebrities and artists selling pictures/autographs and convention rooms where you can go and listen to the guests talk about their careers, storytelling, art or whatever. The second part is the nightlife - parties are planned, bands come in, some events happen for the late night crowd (or if you want you can watch movies all night in the video room) and people get together to hang out, hook up or whatever.

It's a work team. My colleague told me I totally had to represent, since her husband probably wouldn't like it if she did.
