Went to a con this morning with wife and kids. Was able to listen to 10minutes of a presentation about LGBT superheroes before I had to leave to a temper tantrum from kid and sometime later we just called it quits and left since the older kid was not co-operating.
Just before I was about to go to sleep she managed to smear shit on the bedsheets.
Not cool.
Oh god, you went to Dashcon?
And here's the part where people not on tumblr don't have any idea what you mean by that.
Dashcon was a tumblr "convention". I say this because to call it disorganized is an insult to disorganization. The hotel they were staying at didn't got the $17,000 in advance like the contract said they would, they somehow managed to raise $12,000 and it got donated
somewhere and the hotel is saying they don't have a clue where that money is (It's so much of a clusterfuck in that regard), the participants stood around wailing Les Miserables songs for an hour.
After this point, the details are a little sketchy.
When they finally got to the convention area... it turned out to be an empty room with a small ball pit, and the recreation room consisted of a single TV, a single video game console, and some other things I don't remember right now.
...And this was supposed to entertain 2,000 people.
$12,000 that could've gone to a lot of legitimate causes that could help people... was wasted on a fucking travesty.
