I'm an attendee. I don't give a gnat's ass who owns the hotel. I'm just there to have a good time. I shouldn't be noticing things like major hotel screwups.
As for the hotel liaison, I feel he got put in a potential "scapegoat" kind of position because the hotel apparently pulled some "fast ones," sticking this poor guy with the blame for it. I got an earful about the situation Sunday night from folks working the con who were hanging out in the con suite. I was told he was thrown in, unexperienced, and expected to perform like a seasoned pro. That Doesn't Happen.
As for the younger, impressionable folks, it's a stage we all go through. I've been there, and I've grown out of it. With youth and inexperience come energy and ideas. With age comes wisdom, the knowledge of whether these "new" ideas are actually new or have already been tried and why some of them don't work and others might.
