Best/Worst place you crashed at DefCon

[TheCotMan]

What is the Best or Worst place you ever crashed over DefCon? This include the days leading up to it, and the post-con festivities.

In a bed with 4 other people? (Ths being best or worst, would probably depend on the people. ;-)

In a tub? On the floor?
On a bar? by the door?
In a sink? With a jerk?
In a pool? On planet Earth?

Did you sleep in pool-side chairs?
Did people take your underwear?
Did you choose not to sleep at all?
Did you choose to sleep in hall?

Did you use a sleeping bag?
Sleept in public, and got tagged?
Did you eat green eggs and HAM?
No sir, No sir, Not HAM I am.

I slept in the pool one night, thankfully the FIRST night of Defcon. Scraped the hell out of my knees on the cement bottom.

That's how my knees got so bloody and scabby NO MATTER WHAT Highwiz wants to think or tell you!

I prefer not to remember DC10... except the part where I woke up next to Amber... ;-)

Yes, I remember the payphone theft, was DC9, one day gold phones, next day phones covered in stickers, then suddenly while passing by I noticed there were no phones. At first I thought perhaps the hotel had removed them.

I won't ask... and truly hope you do not tell me :D

i remember how once the pickings got slim some people were boosting anything remotely telephonic... even the little white courtesy phones (which have none of the cool circuitry of a payphone and are basically the same crap that everyone has in their home or can buy at radio shack for about $12) disappeared from their poolside pedestals.

yeah, that was the year which made me seriously wonder if defcon would continue... so many crazy people throwing monkey wrenches around for what seemed like no reason at all.

even the little white courtesy phones

Which were promptly replaced by the hotel staff last year ... and (you guessed it) stolen again.

Twinvega had this idea...take the sunbathing chairs, bring them up into the room and put pillows and sheets on them...insta cots (comfy to) and we left em there, next day the maid made the cots, it was one of the funniest things I have ever seen.

I've worked in one or more hotels, and you would be surprised what is assumed "normal."

* Using meeting rooms as a hotel room by adding a rollaway bed...
* Letting two strangers share the same room because there is only one room and they like the idea of sharing a room at a discount to each other.
* Room service to rooms where both men and women of ranging attractiveness answer doors nude, and ask you to deliver food, or whatnot without having you react.
* Roomservice being called to rooms where one member is "tied up" or positioned as part of some fettish, and sometimes realizing that your visit to the room to deliver something was part of them getting off (exposure issues.)
* Drunk people trying to swim, or get naked in public or both.
* Drug dealers using a room as a base of operations. (This was really clever. They come to town, and call a bunch of people on pages, leaving a code plus a number to be reached-- they were totally mobile, and would deal out the window of first story rooms. The buyers call the hotel, and ask for a room, but have no idea who is in the room.)
* Dealing with stars, pseudonyms, body guards, "escorts", and room trashing.
* AND... people complaining about the firm/soft-ness of the beds, and demanding use of the poolside reclining beds instead of the room beds.

Customers can be weird, but in hotel service it is supposed to be all about the service.

Maids? Maids have is TOUGH. Many don't speak English, or very little, their boss is often a "super maid" with a boxing glove left in their ass, which seems to be missing when speaking with the Front Desk, but is ever-present when talking down to the maids. Maids are where the crap finally lands as it is rolling down hill; It is easier for them to "do" and not ask questions, than ask and see raging monsoon crap-slides.
