What's always struck me about conventions is that the hotel is full of anime people but there are also a few random people there on business. They're beat down by the red eye and dragging their wingtips through this mess... Do they know the first thing about what's going on around them? There are grown men carrying around cardboard swords in the hallways and so many fat girls in short skirts...
I guess it could be worse... could be a furry convention.
