I have only been to bicon once (spare time, I no can haz it) but... 1)you *hear* about the pretty pretty people, because they are pretty and people take pictures yes? Lots of people go in jeans and Tshirts, lots of people look *entirely unremarkable*. It's OK to dress boring if you like, also it's OK to dress not-boring if you like.
2)It's *bi*con, I think your point about being straight-passing and thus unwelcome at some queer events/spaces is a valid one, but I think bicon is not one of those spaces being as it is explicitly for bisexual people, many of whom are in heterosexual relationships (many of whom are not, also of course).
Miscellaneous. Eclectic. Random. Perhaps markedly literate, or at least suffering from the compulsion to read any text that presents itself, including cereal boxes.
