I always feel like the “lol dashcon” posts are missing something when they neglect to mention that the ball pit and bounce house weren’t provided by the con. Some anonymous attendees arrived, realized there was nothing there, and decided they would personally shell out for at least a little tiny bit of party-scale entertainment.

Like, those two things weren’t pathetic attempts by the organizers to save face, those were guests trying to improve the shitshow that was Dashcon, and it really puts the utter failure of that con hall being empty except for those two into a whole new perspective to consider that.
