Actually there is a convention...
In Response To: RJ On the Convention ()

...right here in the Riviera called DEFCON that has over 7,000 attendees, most of whom are staying right here. This is their 15th annual convention and every one has been right here.

They are a combination of computer hackers and legitimate computer security people (including federal agents) and are an "interesting" bunch, to put it mildly. I had a 4-hour conversation with one of them at the poker table last night and their convention is fascinating.

I've seen hair this week in colors that I didn't know even existed, and piercings of virtually every visible part of the body. I can't wait for the chippers to take over the Riv. grin
