Which was the convention that was begging for people to book rooms because they were insolvent?

None of these fucking faggots know how to run anything without outright pan handling to keep the lights on.

I think that was ConVergence

the entire idea of these cons is shitty, they're paying an entrance fee (and hotel if you're not local) for the privilege of accessing stalls for a few Etsy shops (that also paid for the space) and listen to zero-credentials nobodies who turned some twitter platitude into a pretend TedTalk because they're boomers who can't do a youtube video essay

at least the large ones like GenCon have big brands behind them, do events, new releases, etc. This tiny ones have no reason to exist in 2023 but to fulfill the LARP of Tomlinsons.

This guy lives in Ypsilanti, I go there sometimes because I will attend EMU football and Basketball, bot almost empty and clearly not the event of Big Blue in either sport, but i enjoy the cheap tickets and the kids get to see D1 sports front row. Somebody message this guy and tell him if he moves to the thumb I'll put him up rent free 4 months in a nice beach area cottage. The catch is, that he must question Pat on his arrest record, on video. I'm a kind man with a few properties that likely will not see 10 days of rentals in that time.
You nuts? you see his pic and his story he has the makings of those squatters that refuse to leave and end up stuck with them for 20 years

Its crazy how much they over charge their regular attendees to try cover their costs. Forcing them to buy weekend passes since there is no day passes. ( at least they were bitching about that leading up to this weekend) Last year one convention was trying to get attendees to buy an extra room just to meet their quota.

This joke of a convention has almost zero engagement on social media and didn't even have the schedule of events up on their website until like a day before the event started. This is an unmitigated disaster of a con.
Their Convention's official Twitter account was last active in September. We're halfway through the actual convention and nothing. Pat must be seething that they aren't sending out "Pat is a Special Boy" PSA's like at that other convention.

Edit: say convention again, stupid

He should be glad since any post by that account will immediately be followed by his arrest report

what the fuck is a “straight-passing couple”? my guess is two “queer” people who are just ugly straight people who don’t call themselves straight because queer is more diverse.

That or she's assuming they're gay just because they're faggots. Shameful behavior

The lack of any social media postings from the convention is really weird, I thought it was because Pats toilet is blocked by the convention, SFWA, and pretty much ever con speaker I wasn’t seeing many posts. Turns out they know it’s a flop or too scared of our little rascals filling up the hashtag with Pat threatening to kill a woman and child.
