Description I wasn't at Dashcon, but who cares? It's still fun to poke fun at it.

And, no... I didn't intend on invoking Loss....

This actually looks fun compared to Dashcon.

At least it's guaranteed to be run by at least ONE adult over the age of 18...!

Though I guess the sad thing is that the Dashcon leaders, with the exception of one being a 17 year old girl, were all in their twenties and thirties...

I can't feel that sorry them, to be perfectly honest. Except maybe the 17 year old. From what I understand, she was really just an admin in name only and has been pretty much been made a scapegoat by the others.

The other admins however have been described as being rude and disrespectful to both their staff and guests, along with being utterly clueless at best to any of the planning or organization of their own con. Things they did try to organize were handled with a baffling level of incompetence. Which is even more confusing because the head admin lady claims she has a degree in event planning...

TinManSam [2014-07-16 20:27:10 +0000 UTC]

This is inaccurate, since nobody was at the front doors charging anything. Several people walked in without paying according to the guy who went in without paying and started walking around recording people urinating in the ball pit.

eviltomp In reply to TinManSam [2014-07-16 21:22:31 +0000 UTC]

It's also inaccurate in that $50 for a weekend pass would have been a steal.

If people needed evidence of why a McDonald-esque "Kids run the world!" system would be utter shit, Dashcon would be.

TinManSam In reply to eviltomp [2014-07-17 23:26:59 +0000 UTC]

Only cooler kids who have razor scooters could possibly manage the task of global politics and understand the subtleties of economic structuring, and there just isn't enough of those. McDonalds has been running a pipedream this entire time.

My favorite Loss comic is the one where aliens visit the earth, see the ruins of humanity, and them stumble upon a skeleton next to a graffiti of the most basic version of "Loss".

Hah, haven't seen that one.

I have big bunch of Loss edits though, it's kind of a pity Buckley doesn't gives as much ridiculous material as Dobson, since I'd love to see Evil Tim Buckley comics somewhere

I'd actually like to make a whole series of "Evil" comics... but... time is something of an issue.

Anyways, here's my two favorite Loss comics:

I just have too many edits saved, even made some myself, I couldn't really say which are my favourites

$65 for a weekend pass just to piss in the ballpit and listen to panels about the high cheekbones of British men? Count me in!

I'm unsure what all this dashcon stuff is. All I remember seeing was a picture of it showing what seemed to be a really large but empty space, only a few people, and a small ball pool. Is there much more to it? Because I'm actually kind of curious, in case it's much more embarrassing than just that.

eviltomp In reply to MotorRoach [2014-07-16 21:19:17 +0000 UTC]

My simple observation is: "Dashcon was basically run literally by kids". And you know how experienced kids are when it comes to running things.

ED will basically sum up the details better than I can:
* encyclopedia dramatica (dot) es/Dashcon

Dear... god... it's worse than I thought it was. From how stupid the name sounded, I thought it was just some shitty brony convention, but this is far worse.
