What is the current population density of pimps and C.H.U.D.s in Indianapolis?
Is maintaining eye contact with an Indianapolesian during conversation expected or considered taboo?
If an Indianapolesian offers me a gift, should I accept right away, refuse a certain number of times before accepting, or would any refusal at all cause offense?
What constitutes hanging offenses in Indianapolis?
What local flora and fauna should I be cautious around?
I'm trying to be prepared.
Pimps only become a problem while trying to find an Indian food place near the Center Circle.
CHUDS were taken out by Colts fans in '08.
Its the wallabies you have to watch for.
Naaaaah
The whole 5 block area surrounding the convention center is pretty friggin nice to us as we invade in August.
Biggest tip I can give you is bring a bunch of snackfoods (some salty some sweet) and carry em like iron rations (plus a couple bottled waters) and dont even try to hit the Subway sammich shop around noon or five pm. They hire extra people and run like a welloiled machine but dam theres a bunch of people that all hit at once and they run out of wheat bread or provelone or something.
As a native maybe I can shed some light on what Indy holds in store.
If you're downtown... you're pretty much square. Example; I've worked security all around Indy late late at night all by myself. Never had any issues. Once while working late at Conseco I watched as this little white girl... maybe 5'5 110 pounds (at most) was jogging happily by herself all around downtown.
Overall, you can be pretty much anywhere in Indy and not have too many problems throughout the year. During Con time IPD steps it up a bit too.
EDIT: On other basics.. in Indy there isn't any fauna that'll get you. If you go in the country of Indiana there is poison ivy etc.. that can irritate you.
Animals that may try to eat you or ruin your vehicle are also in the country.
Hoosiers are a pretty friendly bunch. There are ofcourse a%+@$&*s that differ from this.. but eye-contact is good. But, not necessary.
Clubs are pretty safe as well. Pay your cover charge and you're good to go.
Gift giving and receiving.. maybe turn down once.. then say you sure? and take it. Is about as gracious you need to be.

The Biggest Danger is the Large Man Sized Visiting Praying Mantis.
This particular Praying Matis will pray on you by getting you drunk and causing you to have head pains in the morning and lack of stomach control.

Sounds more like an attraction than a danger ;)
I may or may not be in Indy during GenCon. :(
