We, too, had a bad experience with some of the "boys in brown". Three of us, (two karate instructors and a student) were sitting by a door. A security "officer" informed us that we were sitting near a fire door and "move. Now". As we got up to move, I looked at the door and commented that fire doors should be marked as such so people wouldn't sit near them. Mr. Security then said, "Move your asses now or I'm going to start some trouble", as he was punching his hand. Hmmm. At this point I ceased wondering why fans were commenting that the hotel really didn't want us there. Being good Boskoners, we didn't beat the guy up, but left, hoping NESFA would either change hotels next year, or ask the Marriott to weed out street punks from their security staff.
