I'm sorry you had such a bad experience, OP. A lot of the stuff you describe is behavior that even seasoned congoers look down upon (hell, my local big con actually has an entire yearly campaign, with merch and everything, that's based around reminding the attendees to take a fucking shower once in a while), but unfortunately there's always going to be some percentage of people at any given con who don't understand that being in a space with other nerds doesn't mean that the basic rules of hygiene and acceptable human interaction are suspended.

:D It's been my birthday con for the last 11 years. In fact, a couple years ago when it was in April, I completely forgot my birthday wasn't already past when a few weeks later my mom asked if I was going to come over on my birthday... cause darnit, already had my party with all my friends. XD

Having said that, despite their best efforts, the rave still tends to stink. And the halls near it, if you don't like the smell of alcoholic beverages emanating from all the drunk folks. ;) But that's a big dance party for you.

This last one was my eighth year! Though I've never actually been to the rave - by Saturday night I'm always pretty burnt out and like to wander around and people watch with my roomies instead (unless there's a panel I'm really, really interested in going to).

Hahah, that's my usual Saturday night too. I went to the rave exactly once, the one year I went alone. Some random dude that totally reeked of beer approached me on the way out and we had a bizarre conversation about speed limits in various states. It wasn't bad, but usually I'm in the masq, and by the time the rave starts I just want to be in something comfortable and relax somewhere relatively quiet. And not stand in a line for hours just in order to get in.

Since I always stay at the Embassy, though, I have to walk past the rave and/or the line for it if I want to get anything from my hotel room, so I get to see what's going on in the area... at this point I'm surprised when there's NOT a fire truck or ambulance out there at some point.
