Problems with non-con goers harassing con-goers

Were there any this year? We've all heard or seen the problems in the past few years that prompted the heightened badge checking. This year I haven't heard of any conflicts, which would be great if true. Anyone?

I encountered none personally. My only annoyance was the apparently somewhat over "lubricated" dude next to me at the Cruxshadows concert *very* enthusiastically grinding against his (I hope) girlfriends' butt the whole time. I had to fend off the flying elbows a few times. For the first time, I did have several people ask me to take *their* picture, or for information. Maybe as someone dressed in civilian clothes and without my poor hubby, who was laid up in the hotel room most of the weekend feeling terrible, I looked like a safe option? I did have a couple who I suspect had been in town for a football game ask me about the con and how to get badges - which I did tell them how to get - but I guess they had been by and tried already since they said they couldn't get them. I did hear later that Saturday day passes sold out.

It was a less fun than average year for me though, cause of not getting to enjoy most of it *with* my SO :| There's always next year tho!

Ugh, this happens to me EVERY year at the Cruxshadows show, and I end up just leaving early because I can't stand it. Last year a group of people smashed in front of me and made out the whole time while screaming drunkenly and pushing people. This year I had a really drunk guy (he had a Cthulhu shirt on (should be ashamed to wear it) and wasn't your lubed up guy, I don't think) waving his drink around and grinding on his girlfriend as well, and he kept smacking my two guy friends in the back of the head with his elbows. They were going into rage mode so I figured it was best to leave before something happened. I just hate when people ruining everything for everyone else :/ You don't have to sit there and be quiet, but don't be a complete asshat.

I don't bother seeing Cruxshadows at D*C anymore because of how out of control the shows have gotten. Last year, someone got dragged out by security and someone else vomited in the floor very close to where I was standing, so I left. Seeing them in smaller venues is so much nicer.

I usually find a nice seat in the middle of the ballroom and sit quietly and enjoy myself out of the crowd. All the music, none of the craziness! And you can always see Rogue because of his hair.
