It isn't about being masculine...it is about business. Folks who go to
a fantasy convention mean to be there for the duration. It is just as
much social event as con. Folks who go to ITEC intend to find a good
restaurant and a bar after the event. Why spend 12 hours listening to
pitches when you can get fed *and* plastered on the company credit
card?
