Ah Kayla, it's nothing unusual or new with this crowd, Aaron is entirely correct.
Vancouver was no exception and getting the 'delinquent' report every morning from the F&B director was a cross between amusing and horrific.
We, unfortunately, had people peeing in the lobby of the hotel, fire alarms being pulled, damage being done, a hotel that smelled entirely of smoke and more.
To think this is anything new is silly, it's been going on as long as we've had shows. I can remember one big company that got kicked out of the show hotel over a strawberry margarita machine gone wild... and many other incidents over the years.
Am I saying it's right? Fuck no. But as the event co-ordinator, you need to be prepared for these things since they will happen.
It's not limited to adult either, I've been to non-adult shows where the childish behaviour, altered states and damage to property were much worse.
