True, they could have saved themselves $175 by taking the train, but lord knows what kind of trauma they would have incurred during an hour on a crowded subway.

Imagine having to take the 7 Train to the ballpark looking like you're riding through Beirut next to some kid with purple hair, next to some queer with AIDS, right next to some dude who just got out of jail for the fourth time, right next to some 20-year-old mom with four kids. It's depressing... The biggest thing I don't like about New York are the foreigners. You can walk an entire block in Times Square and not hear anybody speaking English. Asians and Koreans and Vietnamese and Indians and Russians and Spanish people and everything up there. How the hell did they get in this country?

FrozenVent posted:Goddamn do I wish there had been a documentary crew filming the organization and operation of that con. I'm friends with some guys and gals in my university's broadcasting program who are graduating next December and needed a final video project. I say "needed" because they watched this poo poo unfold online and once DumbCon 2015 was announced, they immediately started typing up project proposals  Though I doubt they'll be the only non-believers there. Word has spread of what a colossal fuckup this was and I'm sure plenty of people would be willing to make the trip to see it all happen in person.

If someone bets their graduation on DashCon 2015 happening they belong in a schadenfreude thread. I'm sure it didn't get recorded as planned but this year was indeed supposed to be on DVD quote:DASHCON 2014-- ON FILM! The pre order cut off date has passed but I'm sure they accept promises of paying with installments over the weekend.

That's a helluva turnaround time for a DVD comprised of the best bits of three days' worth of footage. Add "video editing and production" to the list of things the owners know absolutely nothing about

Its fitting because in the video production program at the lovely school I went to they gave us advice on freelancing which was basically how to scam people out of money. Run around with a gopro you already own and edit it in pirated software on a computer you already have and then demand people pay you for "production costs". One person said he charges people storage fees, as in keeping a file on a computer. Edit: one human admitted xe were a piece of poo poo Bad!

I bet they did have permission. If they thought they could record and sell whatever then the DVD would have come with the live show, not just the Q & A. That whole Night Vale schedule - meet & greet Friday, live show Saturday, Q & A Sunday - says "these are the headliners, use them to make money". The show and the Q & A encourages people to come both days or to buy the DVD (but neither event happened). The meet & greet was a chance to sell expensive tickets (but they gave it away to contest winners). It was probably just a package offered by Night Vale but it's a kernel of good potential within a turd of a convention.

Supposedly the Friday night meet & greet did happen (Night Vale didn't bail until Saturday) and I wish there were pictures. I'm sure most of those lottery winners were tumblr kids that never made it to Chicago. Dashcon would have secured a location (much too big) and done nothing else. So Night Vale shows up for a meet & greet with 100 people and finds about 30 people in a giant empty room. I want the convention DVD to still somehow happen just to see poo poo like that.

I used to whine about hitting 1 for English, saying that it should default to English and if you wanna hear something else you should have to hit a button. Made sense at the time! Of course now I encounter all sorts of things where it defaults to English, but theres no way to skip past "to hear this is spanish, hit 1, to hear this in french, hit 2." Just let me hit 1 stop triggering meeeeee

I just want to make sure I read the last few pages correctly. Did Dashcon really pay $3,000 to fly a woman and her husband from Australia to Chicago to manage a mostly empty vendor room and then she had a nervous breakdown?

From Australia to Canada and then to Chicago. The couple also ponied up $2000 for the rest of the trip (Is this in AUS$, CAN$, or US$?) And they sprung the vendor hall on an apparently very emotionally unstable woman.

She wasn't flown there to run the vendor hall, she was flown there so she could meet her Internet bff irl, then was given the task and for some reason lost the loving ability to say "um no"
