If anyone could remember more clearly, please correct me if I'm wrong on the details. But I recently talked to someone when working security at Ohayocon 2016 (I could get into those stories a little later, but for now, we're talking about a different con), who reminded me of Collossalcon 2007. A con that nearly got pushed out of my memory, yet one we have affectionately dubbed "Disastercon". Back in 07, Collossalcon was a very different convention from what it is today. It was in Cleveland, in a much smaller hotel as opposed to the Kalahari Resort, and even back then, the convention was growing too large for its location. Add to that, we also had a wedding party, and a swinger's meet up going on at the exact same time. So not only were we crowded, but these three groups had to share the space with the other two groups, who's ways were completely foreign and different from their own. The result? Basically anything that could go wrong at a convention did. There was a boy wearing a skirt who got beat up by some of the wedding people, the swingers were awkwardly hitting on some under aged girls, the wedding people were complaining to the cops about us for "Picking fights with them" when in reality we were trying to stay as far away from them as possible, and they were the ones picking fights with us. So the cops get involved, and naturally side with the wedding people, and they go around questioning cosplayers. Many cosplayers hid in their rooms the entire time because they were afraid of getting arrested, and then after the con, there was a missing girl report, but that turned out to be related to the latter case since someone hid in their room even after the convention ended. Strangely, inspite of all this, I had a great con that year, so I only remember bits and pieces of it, as it blurs together with a lot of my first conventions. But that's just my wild, rebellious youth I guess.
