Mr. Wolf, here is the fantasy convention, Jordancon, with which I have familiarity.
They were convening at an Atlanta hotel at which I was staying. I met several participants at the Bar - and they really seemed like level headed, college degreed, professionals. To keep this rail related, two of them were going to take The Crescent back to Wash. I showed them Train Status (think #20 was about an hour late that evening). I suggested they "split the difference" i.e. make like half hour late. They were such nice young people that, had I not been drinking, I would have offered to fetch my auto from the valet and taken them to Peachtree. I presume they used Uber, something that young people seem to use all the time, but which I have never.
Now what I really took offense to was a Trip Advisor review I read about that hotel (Crowne Plaza Ravinia). The reviewer noted in essence "nice hotel, but would have been nicer without all those wierdos running around".
So sorry, Mr. Wolf; you impress me as a "heads up guy" around here. So sorry your other hobby need put up with crud like that.
