Vicious is right, my club had alot of strerotypical fans, but nothing comes close to a crowded theater at Otakon. Otakorp does what it can though, and addresses the issure in their FAQ. But as we all konw, people seldom read FAQs.
Q: I keep hearing that fanboys are smelly. What can I do about that?
A: Don't contribute to the problem. Anytime you have a lot of people in one place, and it's hot out, you're going to get the occasional whiff of B.O. Please shower (with soap!) at least once every day and change your clothes. No matter how cool your outfit is, the acrid smell of pleather and human sweat will ruin the effect by the second day, we guarantee it. Make sure your sleeping arrangements allow for proper hygiene.
They also printed this on page one of the 2000 progam book.
... there's this little thing called "soap", and these funny closets in your hotel room called "showers". Unless you want to be shunned by everyone within smelling distance, USE THEM!!!
