I only saw 2 ambulances while I was there, and they were at night. I did see pics though of 2-3 people laying on the ground surrounded by security while browsing the defconpics.
Ya, the only heat casualty I could think of was Deviant, and he caught it early and went to lay down.

a pleasure to be thought of as sensible... but i think that without Mouse checking my skin temp occasionally (using the laser thermometer we had for the BCCC event) and forcibly demanding that i incorporate occasional periods of slow down or rest involving water/gatorade mix i believe things could have gotten out of hand very quickly. there were a couple times when my surface temp was around 105º ~ 110º or thereabouts... eventhough i felt fine inside she knew better and demanded that i sit inside for a few with something non-alcoholic in my hand. she is an absolutely wonderful gal and really looked out for a lot of us this year. i am in her debt when it comes to making it through con without getting (very) sick or exhausted.
"I'll admit I had an OiNK account and frequented it quite often… What made OiNK a great place was that it was like the world's greatest record store… iTunes kind of feels like Sam Goody to me. I don't feel cool when I go there. I'm tired of seeing John Mayer's face pop up. I feel like I'm being hustled when I visit there, and I don't think their product is that great. DRM, low bit rate, etc... OiNK it existed because it filled a void of what people want." - Trent Reznor
there's was a guy in line behind me while i was waiting to buy a $4 water. as i noticed the happy hospital bracelet on his arm the guy behind him ask "fun night?" the guy replied " I don't know, i just sorta woke up in the hospital this morning. I hope it was worth it " other than that i guess i was too busy at amature CTF to notice any others.
