It's about time someone made this. Did you do or see something so amazing you can't hold in the details? Go on an epic adventure? Stage a government take over? Post them here.
I'll start off with my story, which I'm sure you've all heard.
The story of the bad anime room: I heard there was 18+ material, so of course I had to get in. After being asked if I was 18 I replied yes, and thus entered the room. We were watching Kekko Kamen...A show so horrible you can't not laugh at it. I started out low on the food chain, standing by the door with not so much as a chair. As the night moved on I made my way forward, soon gaining the ever valued "chair". I did not leave my chair, knowing the second I stood it would be lost. At some point we decided it was necissary to go by more bad hentai for later, so I went out and found an artist selling DVDs, and $15 later had the first 3 disks of "DNA Hunter". Returning to the room I flashed the DVDs to cheers of "Wooo! Go pervy-sage!"
Soon staff entered the room, telling us to wait till 11 to show the adult material, as there were kids around. The movie we watched next.. was undescibably horrible, the beginning of the move consisted of an Orochimaru look alike doing interpretive dance. However, we soon discovered it was a recruitment video for Scientology! Having discovered this we actually paid a little attention, trying to learn their secrets. The movie ended without us learning any secrets.
Some time after I left the room for a drink, a bawls slushie. I returned to the news that our dirty movie watching had been pushd back to 1 AM. Next up was... Well, I forget the title.. But it looked like a bad power rangers/voltron knock off. At this point I took it upon myself to rip a sheet out of one of the hotel notepads and write "85+ ONLY" on it, then tape it to the door using some tape borrowed from a cosplayer in the room. The door was then shut. The staff that was in there watching with us left, telling me that he would get someone to replace him, and until they showed up I was in charge. No one ever came. 1 AM came, and after we all went to the consuite to partake on grenola bars and sunkist we returned to our dark room, replacng the sign with a scribbled "18+ only" sign, and began watching DNA Hunters.
4 viewings later we had become bored of watching "the slide", we left the room, scouring the other video rooms and nearby panels demanding more to watch, eventually a savior came, and at 4:50 AM we began watching Elfen Lied. The current state of the room was 7 guys, two of whom were asleep. I soon joined them, departing the bad anime room for my hotel room. The next morning, I realized I had forgotten my slushie in the room, when I returned however, the cup was still there..but it was completely empty! Someone drank after me, ewww.
Come on, someone out there must have stories to share!
*shrugs* Eh, about the most odd thing to happen to us was at two am on Saturday someone body slammed our door, screamed "French Vanilla French Toast" and apparently continued their way down the hall.
Beyond that.....not much too awful bursting at the seams worthy.
although I must admit. this con ROCKED!!!
Note: I was a gopher.
My favorite part of the con has got to be while I was badge checking at the dealers room. This one girl came up to get her badge checked and I couldn't find it anywhere. Turns out she had put on her hoodie over her badge so she lifted up said hoodie so I could scan the badge.
Of course to everybody else, it looked like I had just gotten flashed.
not much of a story but I like it
Haha, that is funny.
Brief after-con story.. The headband I was wearing was made by me, because the one I bought was going to take 15 days shipping. It came in today. It is SO SMALL it barely fits the Naruto PLUSHIE I was carrying around. ><
Dude, I basically walked around saying "What?" and made a shitload of friends... and maybe enemies!
I saw a boob.
Then I quietly told the girl about it and she adjusted her costume.

You're not too far off...
Somewhere in Takashi Murakami's book "Little Boy: The Art of Japan's Exploding Subculture" and several other sources, it discusses how Harmagedon (the aformentioned "recruitment video") was used as a "scripture movie" of sorts - a movie that was required viewing by the Aum Shinrikyo cult - the guys who dumped sairin gas into the Tokyo subway in the mid 1990s...
