dan and phil are making content again, the future of mcr is unclear, and people are planning dashcon.

anyways welcome back 2014!

I'm just thinking. If one was to conceive right now, they could, possibly, hypothetically, create Dashcon Baby 2.

I'm not saying you should.

But you could.

I wish I were at Vintage Computer Festival Midwest 19 right now. It's being held at the Renaissance Schaumburg Convention Center in Chicago, IL.

Same place they held DashCon a decade ago.

They even setup a ball pit, just for the gag.

If you're there, I hope you have a good time and take a bunch of pictures.

As an aside, Vintage Computer Festival Midwest this year was held at the Renaissance in Schaumburg Illinois. For all of you on Tumblr, this is the very room in which the infamous DashCon was held in 2014. The "ball pit" had been roughly where Free Geek Chicago's booth was this year, at least based on the visible fixtures. The VCFMW organizers honored this incredible coincidence with what many feel was a fitting tribute...

Episode 1! Meet The Ringmasters!

Dashcon 2 is happening this July in Toronto (where I happen to have lived for the past 4 years) and I saw this as an awesome opportunity to combine my interests of audio storytelling and Tumblr culture. A few very cool interviews and lots of research later, I am super excited to present the first episode of my podcast miniseries: Return To The Ballpit: A Dashcon 2 Podcast! If you're curious about the people who put on this do-over to end all do-overs, or want to stay in the loop with Dashcon news, give it a listen! I will also be AT Dashcon 2 with my silly little microphone! Come say hi to me and be a part of Tumblr history!

Return To The Ballpit is available Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, and iHeartRadio, and a video version with captioning is available on YouTube!

As Tumblr celebrates 10 years since DashCon, I thought I'd remind you all that ND Stevenson was there, had to moderate his own panel when the moderator didn't show up and ended up crashing on a sofabed in the Nightvale crew's airbnb.

(reminder that ND Stevenson has since transitioned, screenshots and articles below include his old name and pronouns)

ND has since deleted his tweets about it, but they are archived in some articles about it so here are tidbits and lore...

this tumblr post gives the context for that and why it's funny but the gist is: nightvale star + nightvale writer + ND Stevenson all making fun of dashcon

But the real question is, did he get an extra hour in the ball pit? 🤔
