Thank you for this insight. Your perception of the tone of conventions mirrors a lot of my perceptions, too. Conventions are the only place I can wear a corset or a costume, for example--if I could I'd wear one to work I would but they'd just think I was odd (or slutty, in the case of a corset).
I'm not sure what to think about the sticker for sexual orientations--I've never been to a convention that asked me that or asked me to wear one, and I'd probably say, "Er, where's the one for 'Find out like everyone else does, by getting to know me until we're comfortable enough friends that you feel you can ask that, thank you very much.'"
