Topic: What's Your Craziest/Memorable Moment At a Con?

Posted under Off Topic

I recently signed up to volunteer again at this year's Momo-Con!

Side Note: Although their not doing SG tournaments this year, The List of games they are doing tournaments for is still pretty long. If the tournament scene isn't your thing they still have a pretty awesome Free Play, Screening and Madness Room.
So if you live in the Atlanta area, Have some free time and money to burn it might be worth dropping by! =)

Back to my point:
During the volunteer meeting they have before the actual Con, One of the people who helped make Momo-con what it is shared her story about the crazier things that happened during her time working.
I'll spare you the full tales, Long story shorty one involved a LOT of Furries and Momocon having few people on floor at the time to mange and other being the time when someone accidentally charged someone $6000.00 dollars for a $60.00 dollar pass.

It got me thinking if anyone else had crazy con stories that they wouldn't mind sharing.
I can't say I have any since things have been more or less lax the times I've worked there,
But what about you?

What's the craziest and/or manic moments you've had at a Con as ether a patron or volunteer?

I've never been to a con, so I'll answer the question as I first read it.

My craziest moment on the can was when my legs fell asleep without me paying attention. When I tried to stand up I collapsed and hurt my legs pretty badly. Couldn't walk for a couple of days.

Too poor and ascocial to go to a convention at this point in my life, but I'd love to head to a video game convention one of these days. I've frequently heard of Momocon from a game reviewer on YouTube but never looked into it.

I'm not sure if this is only a Momo-con thing but,
If have a way of getting their you could always volunteer.
Sure you'll have to work a bit while your their but, You get to be there for all the days without having to pay out in mass!

I had sex with a dozen people and did every drug at my last con

true story

There should be a con for greymuzzles
No sex (can't get it up anymore), no drugs (not compatible with the heart/rheumatism/dementia meds)
but lots of talking about the good old days and how youngsters today with their Zoomania don't understand what furry is really about

my most memorable moment for a con is not going and wishing I could.

I flew to Gen Con when I was 15 or 16 to compete in the world tournament for the CCG I was playing at the time. I refined my deck for over a month, playing out over a hundred scenarios in my head (since local competition was weak) against everything meta or otherwise strong that I knew about, which was basically everything. My deck was a monster and unique, and I beat the reigning world champ of the time with it. Of course, I got knocked out of the main event by something that was entering the meta at precisely that moment, something that would be banned in a few months. That's the kind of thing that would happen at Worlds. I don't believe that deck ever lost to anything else.

I still got to attach many of forum names to faces, and I met the architect of the game's rules, which was my personal highlight.

Witnessed a rape or the beginning of one. Didn't know it was rape until the cops turned up. Had to give a statement. Cons no longer operating.

Got my bag stolen once by a hooman. I then stumbled over it again totally by accident when walking passed the thieves room.

Have been proposed to do really weird shit.... Some of it I did.

I know the feeling.

I have made it to one con: an anime convention, last day. Most booths were shut down, crowds weren't there, etc, but I got a sparring sword (prop?) Which is cool.

The craziest moment I had at a con:

There was an 10+ panel on anime boobs, and what the volunteers had to do is guess where the nipples on each pair of boobs had to go, depending on the angel of the breasts. I went up and gave it a shot...I was off by 2 centimeters on each boob.
