I’d never pay for a ticket to go to a movie theater and when everyone is seated they make an announcement saying “we need to raise so and so amount of money in the next hour or we CANT play this movie! Donate to our paypal” like I just went to see a fucking movie I already payed for my ticket what the hell is going on and then people fork over thousands of dollars and are proud of themselves for doing so and then the movie actually starts and it turns out to be fucking bad.

Feel like I am late to the party here. But a few things...As someone who has ran a con and been on a few board of directors for conventions...

1) What kind of hotel doesn't have a stipulation on payment written into their contract? This is typically section 1.A. Payment. I don't buy for a second that payment schedule wasn't put into this contract.

2) A first year convention, ran by a 17 year old child, and a bunch of kids, managed to get a 3K down payment and a 17K "due at time of completion" stipulation on their payment? No. If this whole thing...room block + venue space cost them 20K then they would have easily owed 10K at the time of contract signing, and 10K before the event started. It takes contacts, good standings with brand, prior business dealings, etc to get net1, net 15, net 30 payments for the rest of your shows venue fees.

3) Who the hell gets on Tumblr and pleads for money to go to a PAYPAL account to get to the hotel asap? I would have called my board, my attorney, the hotels regional manager, CEO, etc first and foremost and worked out something because I was too STUPID to put payment schedules into my contract.

4) Number 3 is irrelevant, because this whole thing reeks of scam.

>> No.7674095

>>7674086
Now imagine if they asked everybody in the audience for $3 after they had already been seated, paid for tickets, paid for popcorn, and were ready to watch the movie.

And imagine if this movie was some kind of SuperWhoLockNatural (or whatever it is) fandub where they forced shipping into every facet of the film, complete with annotations as to where their ships have validity and which male character is the sexiest, in addition to annotations that you should never sexualize women in the media because that is sexist and unacceptable.

And the reason you had to pay was because some person had, word of mouth, booked the theater, and the theater, having no clue what was going on, had talked to them about the lack of money that they were going to "Get" after the showing

So you have to pay extra just to watch the movie, in addition to the fees you paid to watch the movie, because the people who were supposed to be handling the movie theater were retarded fuckups.

My theory.

As stated, I've worked for cons and ran them.

They didn't raise enough to cover expenses. Rather than taking a huge hit and being in a large amount of debt...hey...let's get what we can.

They raised maybe 5K, 8K, 10K, whatever amount. Then simply said, "k thx we made it giz continu ur party lulz"

They probably just reduced their debt on expenses by a few thousand dollars by extorting it from people. They didn't raise 17K in an hour. Did you see how many people were there? Every damned person would have had to donate $200.

It's the cons responsibility to take a loss or gain depending on how well they run it. These guys fucked up, and fucked all of their attendees. Children.

From what I've gathered from the DashCon tumblr, she isn't the only admin--there are other ones who seem to be ranging in age from like 20s-30s. I think the 17-year-old is the main admin, though.

I'm pretty sure when I was 17 I had a PP account. Considering I opened it when I got my first job/bank account when I was 16. As long as you have a bank account you're golden.
(Although I'm not even sure about needing a bank account, since I once bought something from EGL_Comm sales using PP, then found out the seller was 12...)

Wikipedia says this:
"Doyle said that the character of Sherlock Holmes was inspired by Dr. Joseph Bell, a surgeon at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh for whom Doyle had worked as a clerk. Like Holmes, Bell was noted for drawing large conclusions from the smallest observations. Some years later Bell wrote in a letter to Conan Doyle: "You are yourself Sherlock Holmes and well you know it." Sir Henry Littlejohn, Chair of Medical Jurisprudence at the University of Edinburgh Medical School, is also cited as an inspiration for Holmes. Littlejohn served as Police Surgeon and Medical Officer of Health of Edinburgh, providing for Doyle a link between medical investigation and the detection of crime."

So the character was inspired by them, but the character himself is not real.

hold on ill post it all in separate posts here with the photos

At the time I bought my badge — which was sometime last year (yes, I knew about it back then) — it didn’t entirely occur to me that a Tumblr convention would be a absolutely horrible idea. And I still don’t think it is; it was just executed in the worst way you could possibly imagine. I had no way of knowing ahead of time that it would’ve turned out to be THIS bad.

If you go to the DashCon website (http://dashcon.org), you’ll note that there are “committees,” which are predefined by the convention to represent each major fandom that they expected to be present at the venue. See, back when I bought my badge, there was an anime committee. One of the reasons why I bought my badge was because I thought there would be a lot of anime fans at the event, and I frequent anime conventions. At some point, the anime committee ended up dissolving (all I can remember is that they used to have a blog that wouldn’t get updated for months) and the next time I checked, the only anime-related committee left was one dedicated to Hetalia.

I don’t care for Hetalia, so that was a bummer. The majority of people slated to be in attendance were Supernatural/Doctor Who/Sherlock/Harry Potter/etc. etc. fans, which aren’t things I’m a fan of. Still, I’m a local to the area, meaning that I didn’t really have to go out of my way to attend DashCon. And I had already put down a whopping $65 for the ticket - which is the most i’ve ever spent on a convention badge - so I thought I’d at least check it out for a while to make it worth the cost. Mind you, during pre-reg and at-con reg, the staff would continuously try to sell you on a badge bundled with a ticket to a Steam Powered Giraffe concert (who didn’t even end up coming in the end). It was incredibly obvious to me that everything was a money grab, and I only wish I could’ve seen that earlier.

I didn’t plan to stay there for more than a few hours, and I didn’t. The DashCon staff had repeatedly claimed in their FAQ and in person that they expected attendance numbers of 3000-7000, and that they were “right on target” for it, but in reality it looked as if it were half a thousand people at the VERY VERY most.

Many of the hallways and lobbies were barely populated at all; as a person who prefers going to larger conventions, I was disappointed. The Dealer’s Room/Artist’s Alley left much to be desired. There were practically no dealers selling official merchandise of any kind. It seemed as if everybody in there was a freelance artist, selling the same cheap buttons/stickers/decals/piling-prone fleece shit you’d know all too well if you’ve been to a convention before. I suppose the schedule and the panel descriptions speak for themselves. but I did sit in one panel called “Name That Anime” for a cool three minutes or so before walking out the door. It started 15 minutes late and was so poorly improvised on the spot it was terrible; they were giving out hotel mints as prizes if you could name the anime where “clothes are used as weapons!!!!!”

The worst part, though, had to be the so-called “video game room.” Having gone out to Anime Midwest last weekend, I expected a room full of Xbox/Wii/PS3/PS4 playing stations. In reality, there was only ONE TV in the entire room, along with a bunch of tables.

I legitimately felt bad for the few people walking around who had actually put work into their costumes to wear around there. As far as anime goes, the only series I saw anything of were Kill la Kill and Attack on Titan. I was genuinely surprised that I didn’t catch any Hatsune Miku or Pikachu cosplays (usually see hundreds of those).

I didn’t witness any fighting, but then again, I was only there for an hour and a half in the early afternoon before I got bored and left. Everybody at the con seemed nice, but also very young (most people I saw I’d guess were 15 and under) and you could definitely pick out a lot of the socially awkward ones hanging about. There wasn’t a lot of energy due to the fact that there was literally nobody there, so I guess you could say that everybody looked bored. The convention center/hotel was isolated compared to other popular places in the area, so there weren’t that many outsiders around; however, you could definitely tell that the convention center was pretty uppity and intended for business conventions rather than ones of this nature. Exquisite carpeted floors and chandeliers everywhere.

Unfortunately (or fortunately, in my case) I left long before the whole money/hotel management drama apparently erupted. I decided the con was not worth my time and spent the rest of the day at the local mall. I had a lot more fun there, obviously. So, while I’m not in a better position to tell you what actually happened, I can tell you that my immediate reaction to the whole thing was that it was a scam considering the high badge cost and the low effort/sloppy organization evident all around.

If it’s any additional proof that I was really there, I took a picture of my badge after I went on Thursday night to pick it up: http://kirbeh.tumblr.com/post/91420852017/dashcon-the-first-ever-tumblr-convention-as-far

Staffer report on the WTNV debacle

>Here are the specifics, from what the co-chair announced at the panel itself, and with supplemental information from my department head:

>We loaded people into the room on time (even in the right order, with special ticket holders first).
>Night Vale was paid most of their appearance fee up front. Around the panel’s starting time, the folks from Night Vale asked to be paid the rest of their fee. The delay was due to trying to make that happen.
>The amount Night Vale had already been paid and the amount that Night Vale still had yet to be paid differed by an order of magnitude. (That is: the amount they had been paid was 10 times larger than the amount the were yet owed.)
>DashCon had the funds available in their bank account and the co-chair showed this to Night Vale. The co-chair asked to be able to drive to the bank, withdraw the money, and arrive with it during the panel. Night Vale refused this deal.
>Because of this, the panel was cancelled. This was announced about 1 hour after the panel was supposed to start.
>The status of the Night Vale panel for Sunday is indeterminate. The status of tickets, refunds, seating, etc. is also indeterminate, at least as far as what Security knows.

We tried very hard to make this happen. We took a full break in the middle of our July tour to attend this small fan-based event. We paid for our own hotel and plane fare, and were very excited to be part of this intimate fan gathering. But after a morning of discussion, organizers were unable to pay for the costs of travel and performing.

We are disappointed that things were not worked out in a timely manner and that we could not perform for our fans.

Long post. Probably the key part:

>One of Dashcon’s admins (not Cain) was responsible for working with the hotel (Renaissance Schaumburg). That admin made a verbal agreement with hotel management for the $20,000 conference fee to be paid on Saturday evening. Saturdays are the biggest day for these types of cons. If everything had gone according to plan, the con would’ve brought in that money and then some Saturday night, no problem.

>However, yesterday (Friday) evening, hotel management came to the admins and said they wanted the full fee by 10pm that night (10pm being the close of con registration for the day) or else the conference would be canceled. Hotel management presented the admins with a letter stating that the whole $20,000 fee was actually due on the con’s first day.

>Cain said the situation was a result of numerous miscommunications between con admins and the hotel. After the admins were told of the situation, they did what they believed was the only thing they could do to try to keep the con going: they put up the donation post, pulled everyone into the ballroom, broke the news to attendees and begged for cash. The $17,000 was pulled together and the con was allowed to continue, but not before snowballing into the mess you’ve all heard so much about.

>I asked Cain why the hotel went back on the verbal agreement. He said the best any of the admins could figure was that the hotel hadn’t fully understood what the con was all about and what kind of people it would attract. He said the hotel also stated they didn’t care about any potential backlash from canceling the con - even violence on the part of attendees. They just wanted their money.

>I asked Cain if attendees who’d booked their hotel rooms through Dashcon would’ve been thrown out had the con been canceled. Cain said no because those attendees had paid for their rooms. The people who would have been asked to leave were the staff and vendors who had comped rooms through Dashcon. Those affected people were in fact briefly locked out of their rooms last night. Again, the only attendees locked out of their rooms and in any danger of being ejected by the hotel were staying in comped rooms. A relatively small number of people were affected and ultimately were not asked to leave the hotel.

We have enough boards here that you could host one panel for every board just once, and it would be sufficient for multiple days of convention. Maybe twice for the more active boards (/v/, /a/, /b/, etc.)

The crafts boards could be artistic tutorials. The "general interest" boards could be discussion of a variety of things in the industry and a few gag/joke panels. Meme bullshit is kept to an absolute minimum, only used sparsely in the comfort of their own retarded users.

The lounge would have to be pretty damn big, and have capacity for tons of different users from many different boards. Either that, or you are gonna wind up sectioning off rooms specifically for boards (which actually wouldn't be too crazy an idea. A /v/ room could have multiple /v/ panels in it while most people there discuss and play video games, a /k/ room could have gun-related panels while people also discuss their weapons, etc.)

You could make it unorthodox, but brilliant, or play it safe, and still make it cool. The only barriers would be the competency of administration and the entertainment factor of the panel hosts.

I'm sorry, but how exactly did a 17-year-old girl even get this far with an event like this? She's not legal, how did she sign contracts? Or book anything? How it did W TNV even agree to this? Or steam powered giraffe? Where was this girl's parents? Or her friends? People who would've clearly outlined why this wasn't a good idea. Or, at least help the business end of things. Even if they had 500 people, I'm amazed she managed to gather that many with absolutely zero credibility.

I'm sad that a 17-year-old girl is crying and upset and probably a bit traumatized, but how do you even get this far? Someone should've stopped this along time ago. I hate to say that she brought this completely on herself.

Legality varies she might not be an adult per say but she is old enough to understand concepts of being an adult like responsibility, accountability, reliability, and etc. anyone can sign a contract, even kids but that comes down to how old and how well they were told of the situation, then with their gaurdians signature as agreement. 17 is on the fence of adult. also remember she only did a verbal agreement mean that the hotel was give them quite a bit of trust that they could pull through and deliver payment by the time due. during that time the hotel probably had a reasonable change of opinion and wanted money upfront. If someone were to run the con properly they would have done all the research, calling, booking of everything on time, and without error. remember this pretty much tumblr con when has anyone admit to being at fault or with any measure of being in the wrong.

Legality varies on questions of things like necessaries, which the person signing the contract needs. This con was not a necessary, and no minor should have been allowed to sign a contract for something this big. The hotel fucked up in at least that regard.

4chan regulars wouldn't be the problem.
It'd be the underaged idiots running around screaming "WE ARE ANONYMOUZ WE IS LEGION".
Which I have absolutely no doubt would make up over half the attendees if you advertised it as a normal convention.
It'd be a level of cringe far beyond this tumblr con

You do realize that you sound like you just stepped out of Tumblr, right?

"Nobody who's a minority could disagree with me, and if you claim otherwise you're secretly a white racist" is one of a SJW's favorite ways to "win" an argument. It's racist bullshit in itself, assuming that all non-white people think with one mind and can't decide things for ourselves.

I think the whole problem is that it was run by superwholock fans(and superwholock fans are just.... No) and that they allowed a fucking 17 yr old on the organizing team. Plus, no previous con experience? Haha, bad disaster waiting to happen. And possibly sjw, but some sjw are a hella more responsible than these people.
