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"
>Huge bullshit ensues, people pay through cash and paypal
>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
>lol

Saturday:
>Main draws of the convention, Welcome to Night Vale, walk after not being paid
>Extra-cost reserved eating for the event, people left waiting for an hour before getting any news
>other acts not appearing apparently
>Con is generally awful and empty

Sunday:
>Someone will die, probably

Aren't con admins suppose to comp that when they have guests?

So let's sum up con management in a quick post
Age, Location - Job - Quote

>LolChan
17, Denver, CO - Paper Pusher, Gopher, Facebook PR - "I am panromantic"
>Sammy
23, New York, NY - Grunt - "I’m generally an accident waiting to happen, but only toward myself"
>Angela
23, Unk - Personal Assistant - "She’s never been to a Con"
>Megg
32, Pieoria, IL - Owner - "worthless degree in interior design. Back when I had free time, I fancied myself a novelist"
>Roxanne
20, Unk - business work - "I am obviously a super hero."
>Amber
??, Austrailia - What people tell me to do - "International Superstar. Just ask my mum"
>Cain
20, Unk - Dashcon’s token male/personal whatever/everything he can do doer - "Doucehbag Rockstar"

also bothers me that a handful of the admins are from all over the country even world and they all had to fly in and shit. these people were clearly not the best group to establish as admins for an entire convention, they could have just found people around that area who were better at doing shit so they didnt have to waste money on so many travel expenses. like one person came from australia

>Hotels (Or at least chain ones and ones that know how to do business) do offer payment plans for large conventions. BUT that’s only for a large company or a group they’ve done business with before, aka someone they can easily go after if they don’t get their money or people they trust that can pay them. Neither of which Dash Con is. So the hotel would require the money UP FRONT.

>Which brings me to my other point. By Marriott franchise policy, a company who has to pay up front is required to pay 5 days in advance. 5 whole days before their convention is suppose to take place, or they will refuse to give the space. This is the company’s policy.

>So the giving of $17,000 was a complete and total scam, just as everyone thought. Because they should have had all their money earlier this week or they would have already been shut down.

As a film major, I know how this would go down: rented gear that goes underused (if at all), cheap DSLR cameras with standard lens kits, unpaid interns as the crew, and a cast that either works for free or not at all.

$4k wouldn't even get a single guest star unless they were in the area and had nothing better to do at the time.
