Something Positive left off a key point - clean clothes after the shower.

A clean person is still going to stink if they're wearing 8-day old clothes.

And deoderant is important, too.

Whats really sad is people have to be reminded to do this basic personal care stuff.

Actualloy, at least as important - wash your hands at EVERY OPPORTUNITY.

A lot of cross-contamination occurs at a Con, involving viral and bacteriological contamination from across the country and even around the world. You will be shaking hands with these people, touching books they have touched and so on. About a quarter of GenCon attendees I know have come away from GenCon with a major cold, fever or flu. By washing your hands regularly (and properly - not just a few seconds of hot water, but at least a 20 to 40 second wash with soap), you seriously reduce the risk to yourself and to the others you may be contaminating.

Thanks for the reminder. Good thing I go to a con only once a year, that bathing thing looks like a hassle and needlessly takes away gaming time.

Go to the GENCON site and read the post on GENCON Etiquette...

Oh, I thought the first rule of GENCON was:

"What happens in GENCON stays in GENCON"

sorry, that is Mexico or is that Las Vegas.
