Anecdotally, I follow a big con each year-DragonCon-and the warm fuzzy feeling during and after seems real to me. Part of it is the planning and build up the months leading to it, and seeing old friends and stuff, and part is being part of a cool, time boxed community.

I would love to see a study of this effect.

Concentration of a lot of really powerful soft tissue that makes neural electricity.

Or, just human interaction is good. Either way, we belong in communities. This is what is meant by "love each other". Stronger in packs, etc.

Definitely have the same feeling after QuakeCon or music festivals as well.
