I've been to DEFCON and nothing else. Some of the talks were neat, and watching a physical CTF thing was fun.

SGC was alot of fun. However, there were way too many people there for the venue, and it was obscenely crowded.

Trying to remain Inconspicuous at a Defcon convention, Isn't so easy. I'd really love to attend (Defcon) and will plan on doing so within the next few years.
Simple solution. Go with 7 foot friends. You'll totally blend in.
You always have a solution for everything. That's one attribute you should be proud of.
Trying to find friends of that height, Is next to Impossible. My best friend Is the tallest of the lot at 6'3 (190cm), whilst others range between 5'6 to 5'11.
Ok, I'll find a solution (apparently one of my strengths is problem solving), but I won't guarantee the solution will work/or is practical
Aha!

If you have friends who play In the NBA, my problem Is solved.
However they'd have to befriend me, but due to our conflict of Interest, It's highly unlikely.

I'd love to attend Defcon, however It's not very convenient.

I definitely know the feel. I've ended up going to some charming local stuff and other types of events I wouldn't have considered if I had more easy access to the big conventions. However, those large conventions are an experience unto themselves.

Conflict of interest! Aha!
Namely on their part.
They'd probably think "who the heck Is this loser?". Little do they know that I can change their NBA stats.
Spoiler:
But let's not be cruel.

Perhaps I should demonstrate It? Well, everyone reading this Inclusive of guests will know the origin of the attack.
It's good to read It put a smile on your face.

Defcon is great but expensive. The people are nice and willing to teach, and really at night it just becomes a drinking convention = p People there love drinking and having fun as much as the technical stuff.
