Dashcon 2014 Breakdown:
Tumblr does a con. It's going as well as anyone could hope.
Friday:
- Con organisers ask for $17000 dollars in an hour otherwise the con will be shut down because "upper management doesn't like the people at the con"
- turns out Dashcon didn't read the contract properly and it said payment due on day one
- Saying they'll refund donations once money's in from walk-ins
Saturday:
- Main draws of the convention, Welcome to Night Vale, walk after not being paid
- Anyone who forked out for extra-cost reserved seating for the event gets an extra hour with the ball pit
- an extra hour in a tiny, timed-entry, homestuck-paint-filled kiddie pool with some plastic balls in a giant empty room
- neat
- there's a bouncy house too
- Time Crash (who they?) concert and BDSM 101 panels later
- THE BALLPIT deflates
- Sexual assault?
- Webcomic artist flees.
- No one on tumblr knows what dashcon is.
Sunday:
- We are waiting for someone to die or be eaten.
- Cops show up
- Nobody's there though
- Guests left with their own hotel bills despite being told con would pay. Baker Street Babes threaten Lawyers and get it sorted.
- Dashcon Staff say 2015 will be better than before
- yfw Dashcon will be in Indy next year
