"my own clothes were still all wrong" I can't even imagine what this might mean in this context. It was pretty clear to me even on the first day that there's no right or wrong way to dress, it's just part of that (radical) self-expression thing.

I had the same feeling the first time I went. Seeing the amazing costumes people had spent hours putting together made me want to develop my own style and kicked my creativity into high gear. Sure, strangeness is encouraged, but since most people take that in a personal direction I don't think of it as another type of conformity.
