Have you actually been down there to any of the events? You can go to any of the fringe events without a ticket, conference pass or being appropriately dressed (i was wearing old jeans and a hoodie at Mandelson's talk yesterday at the Old Ship and no one looked twice at me)- and if you choose a sponsored event they have free food and drink. And if you try and talk to the bored Met Police standing next to the Brighton centre, i think you'll be pleasantly surprised. Go on the Labour party website and look at fringe events and go to something.
