Starting Nochsad as the evil dashcon

The worst part about con depression is not being able to see normal pictures of the con

Let me tell you a thing. Dashcon was AMAZING. The attendees were passionate and for the most part respectful and well behaved. Panels were successful and awsome and the volunteers went above and beyond to navigate the bumps.

The technical difficulties were completely out of the control of the admins: the hotel management was expecting a toy and train-type convention and got spooked when they saw all the people in cosplays. Nightvale got spooked because the hotel was spooked. Giving refunds would have broken the contract for the whole event. Everyone who worked the convention did the best they could with what they had, and they did it as respectfully and as effectively as possible.

As a volunteer and attendee, I will not hear a word against this convention. The panels I went to were fantastic, the people were amazing and supportive and awesome. The kind of love and persistence and drive that came out Friday night during the hotel crisis was so much more than I could have ever hoped for in any other environment, or any other Con.

You were awesome, Dashcon.
