And for me too. Emma is a very old friend of mine and I really like Scott, and they both have so much of interest to say.
I have most of my faculties still, and yet this sounds so familiar that I have not been to Convergence in about ten or fifteen years. I had many of these difficulties, though not the vision-related ones (well, aside from mild vision-related problems with being a short person), at the large Minicons, which I don't think even topped 4,000 people. There were still wall-to-wall, shoulder-to-shoulder scrums, and very little acknowledgement that somebody, able-bodied or otherwise, might need to get through in a timely fashion.
I'm glad you did figure out that your revulsion about all your plans was really all about Convergence.
