new thread? Why not.
*** DASHCON 2014 ***
>AKA biggest tumblr failure so far
Summary of events so far:
con staff trying to push more expensive tickets onto people that apparently came with a Steam Powered Giraffe show ticket (which is apparently not happening)
vendor hall mostly empty for some undisclosed reason
Welcome To Night Vale ditched the con and cancelled their panel and performance when DashCon would not pay them. attendees sat in the room for an hour before they got an explanation
people paid RESERVE SEATS months in advance for the WTNV panel
Con staff insisting they had people in the thousands attending and present at the venue, when real numbers were closer to 500
Panels and events were not planned at all, with hotel mints being given out as prizes
Games room had just a single TV in it and some tables
there was a BDSM panel and DashCon allowed minors into it, along with other +18 panels where they did the same
some people started to sing Let It Go and were verbally assulted
DashCon meow blaming the bank for not being able to pay WTNV
people are demanding partial or full refunds (and they will not likely see any of it due to the con not actually having any money)
it has already spread around that DashCon was likely a scam
last night they ran an emergency #SaveDashCon thing and raised like 17,000 bucks
nobody knows where it went
most of their contracts were verbal only
rumors of the venue meow threatening to shut the whole thing down
people called hotel asking WTF about the $17k. hotel staff reportedly knows nothing about $17k demand
(if a convention doesnt pay up, they let if finish and sue the shit out of you after..thats standard for big hotels)
