So I Heard Dashcon Was Fun · 3:56am Jul 14th, 2014
Someone peed in the ball pit and the bouncy castle was deflated. Riveting.
Are you ready, kids? Also a thingy so my pizza funds don't run out anytime soon.

A-Fucking-mazing.
Saying you couldn't afford this is kinda the worst answer to say for not being there this time around. :v
I've heard people on Tumblr blaming us 4channers for this cluster of fail.

A $17,000 ball pit at that.
So it was my 5th birthday party all over again, then?
Was it really that bad...
Those poor, poor bastards.
Bummer.
Will you be at bronycon?
RainbowBob, is that you in the bounce house?
Looks like a blast. Really does.
Well, at least whoever peed in the ball pit had fun.
There are good cons, then there's...this.
Wow.
Now I can no longer use Las Vegas Unicon as the prime example of how idiotic planning can ruin cons.
Damnit.
: This wasn't as awesome as I thought it would be...
.....wow
IS THAT JUST ME OR IS THERE TEREZI, ARADIA, ERIDAN, AND POSSIBLY KARKAT.
maybe a few humans.
I SEE HOMESTUCKS.
H3H3H3H3.

Ikr?
2282525
I had the excuse of knowing this was gonna be shit before shit went down.
2282527
People blame you for everything. And then you blame the Jews. So now we've come full circle. :V

2282532
Best way to spend 17k.
2282535
It would've been like your 8th party is the clown had died.
2282541
17k ballpit. Nuff said.
2282542
Ikr?
2282543
Nuh.
2282559
...mebbe.
2282609
Hell, bouncy castle and ballpit for me means a fun time no matter what.
2282635
He looked like a pedo. Srsly.
2282653
Dashcon 2014. Never forget. No ragrets.
2282671
Unicon has been vanquished. Dashcon rules now.
2282698
Undoubtedly so.
2282703
Ikr?
2282722
THEY'RE FUCKING EVERYWHERE, LIKE THOSE BRONY ASSHOLES! :V
2282735 Aw, I wanted to
hug you to deathmeet you in person.2282735
To be frank, I'm legitimately glad this wasn't purely a brony con that had failed like Unicon, which I initially had thought given the name.
Because I honestly am not sure the fandom would survive back-to-back years of having two internationally recognized convention fuck-ups.
At least everyone got an extra hour in the ball pit
It was...
quite the ball.

What happened with Unicon? I don't mean to be a bother, but I looked it up and could find nothing. Would you mind giving a quick synopsis?
Were you there, or is this just a mockery of the stupidity that happened there?
2282735
Ball pits and bouncy castles, sources of limitless fun. Throw in some foam bats and a few plastic balls, and people would be saying this was the best con ever!
Ha, humans, so easily entertained.
2282789
Go nuts
Oh God, my body was not ready.

Aw, that's unfortunate. Poor liddle con.
Is there an article anywhere on the full story?
2282830
Oh.
My.
God.
That is the absolute WORST I have ever heard. DashCon might trounce that, sure, but UniCon was seemingly advertised to be HUGE and crashed and burned like if I had tried to hold a con in my own HOUSE. That's absolutely ridiculous.
Thank you for sharing that link.
dash con?
2283008 Basically it was supposed to be a big tumbrl themed convention with Steampowered Giraffe and Welcome to Nightvale making appearances, but they weren't payed to come.
Which means they didn't.
They no vendors.
And the con runners scammed everyone out of $17,000 by saying the hotel needed the money or they wouldn't host the con.
However they have a minimum of five days notice with the final pay. So by using the thing called a brain a few people realized that it was a scam.
It was the greatest fuck up, ever.
2283140 oh, thank you
I've heard about this thing recently, and I'm glad you brought it up to me in full detail along with a comment I read on Derpibooru.
This kind of thing... I should be happy that people had fun, but this is almost as bad, if not worse than Ryan Seacrest trying to high five a blind guy.
2283170 You're welcome.

That photo is poetry in motion.
Thank you for having posted it :-D
2283202 It wasn't a brony convention.
2283507
It also wasn't a convention :-P
It was a scam, from what I've heard
There was a shady, scamcon relatively nearby where I live and I wasn't aware of it?!
Did they like, ran out of money or something, or is this what they could only do?
I checked the website and they had all the fancy thing that would make a convention expensive, then comparing the photos to this, WTF happened?
2283201
True photos have never been shown.
2282768
The fandom will live, just with casualties along the way. :l
Dashcon? More like grab the cash and Dashcon.
2282735
Hey, only /pol/ blame the jews, /b/ and the other boards blame the autistic asshats that plague their boards.
Not sure if or is the correct emoticon.
In case you guys didn't know, I'm holding a FimFicCon. It costs 80 dollars to get in, but has a panel by your favorite author (yes, that one). It will be held at the Chuck E Cheese closest to your house.
But I need 17000 dollars before 10 PM or else a kitten dies.
Update!
Apparently, Dashcon may not have been as boring as it sounds.
Too bad it's made all the worse because of it.

2284844 The closest Chuck E Chesse to my house is several hundred miles away. I'm pretty sure there isn't one in my entire county.

The con is actually there! It's several hundred miles from your county! Please pay the 80$ now.
