Something I've always found very interesting about furcons is that if you're not there, the ONLY stories you hear are various terrible things, some real and some fake, happening at the con. Makes it all just sound like some big sham.
If you're at the con, you probably don't hear a thing about any of that past some folk partying too hard (normal) or emotional stresses related to the number of people/friends around (normal), and it's generally just a great time.
