Hello Peons.

Abusing my privilege as a part of tumblr history to plug my website:

Thanks 2 @strange-aeons

See you at DashCon B)

[colourful-void]

If you successfully bought a ticket for dashcon and are planning to attend, I'm curious whether you're local! I feel like I see mainly USA Americans talking about going.

"Local" is up to you to decide, I'm not strictly defining the boundaries of what is and isn't local here. If you feel like "hey thats near me" and you're in Canada, that counts.

What is Dashcon On the Lawn?

We are a pop-up event that will appear on the eastern wall of the Japanese Canadian Culture Center during Dashcon 2!! We intend to showcase video content made by Tumblr users in a film-festival-esque format.

From now until July 1st, we will be taking submissions (videos) to be played at the event. Videos must not be longer than 30 minutes, and must contain content that is suitable for a 13+ event.

THIS IS NOT A TROLL POST. THIS IS REAL LIFE!!!!!!!!!

Disclaimer:

This is an attendee-run pop-up, so while we are in contact with the administrators of Dashcon 2, we are not officially affiliated with them.

okay SLIGHT change of plans for our 50th episode - I (Lauren) am on book deadline right now so June is pummeling me and @overchers just informed me that dashcon2 is actually for real happening on July 5th SO instead of doing our 50th this month, we're gonna do one on dashcon2 in early July and then go on our hiatus!

all to say: if you are someone actually physically going to dashcon2, please please please tell us about your experience either by jumping in our asks or by emailing us at dashboarddiariespod@gmail.com

An Important Notice for Panel and Vendor Applications!

We’re very excited for Panel Applications to open tomorrow, and wanted to share some more information about the application process! 

Panel applications open February 10th, 9 am EST, and will close February 15th, 9 pm EST. Shortlisted panellists will be contacted to arrange an interview and discuss further details at a later time. Shortlisting is not a guarantee that you will run a panel. 

For those unaware, panels kinda like convention breakout rooms. They’re typically lecture-style presentations to a small audience of guests! Think ‘powerpoint night where I yap about my hyperfixation’ but on a larger scale, with topics ranging from professional artists giving advice, to in-depth breakdowns of specific media. There’s a lot of diversity, and panels can take forms beyond what we’ve outlined: a trivia show, an art trade, a skill-building workshop, et cetera. We’re open to all your wildest and whackiest ideas!

Initial applications are pretty basic: all you need is a description. Tell us about your panel idea in 1-2 paragraphs at most, and how long you’ll need to run it. A maximum of 7 people are permitted to panel together, but 1-2 people are standard. Applicants may discuss their qualifications or attach a partial or completed slideshow to their application, but these are both optional. 

Our guidelines for panel content are available on the Panel Applications of our website. All panelists will also have to follow our Convention Policies. Please know that DashCon 2 will not permit 18+/Adult content to be discussed or presented during panels. Any violation of these rules will result in the immediate cancellation of a panel, and the offending panelist’s pass being revoked. 

Panelists will not have to pay for a convention pass, but we encourage all applicants to purchase tickets on February 22nd as we cannot guarantee spots in advance. Panelists who have purchased a ticket will be offered a refund. Unfortunately, DashCon 2 cannot refund the processing fees taken by Simpli Events nor those of their transaction processing service Stripe. We do not offer compensation for travel or other expenses occurred as a result of volunteering for DashCon 2. 

Since panellists are considered volunteers, they are free to explore the convention outside the bounds of their panel. However, panellists are expected to have signed in and to be on-call 30 minutes before and after their scheduled panel time. Panellists who do not check in before or show up to their panel will have their pass revoked.

Vendor Applications Will Close Soon!

This a reminder that Vendor applications are still open!! Thank you to everyone who applied to be a vendor, we’re really excited to host so many incredible artists. We’ve decided to close applications on Wednesday, February 12th at 9PM EST. We will be contacting successful applicants before the 22nd, so others will still have the option to buy tickets!

As always, you can find more at www.dashcontwo.com, or subscribe to our mailing list over on substack!

Announcement: Dashcon 2

For those of you noble pilgrims who will be traveling to Toronto this summer, keep an eye out for a young vampire named @rat-kingster!!

Our steadfast animator will be attending the convention, making the harrowing journey to Canada all by their lonesome. Worried you won't see him? Fear not! Kingster will be attending the con in full Stephanie cosplay, and wearing a gorgeous custom drawstring backpack designed by yours truly.

This is the design they will bear:

Kingster is a bit nervous to be attending, so please reach out to him, ask for pictures, and the like. Grant and I will be supporting him from afar. - V.

Post-Script: The @dashcon-two intern did not, in fact, pay for Kingster's passport.
