At 9:00pm on Friday of DashCon 2014, hotel management gave con staff an ultimatum: raise $17,000 by 10:00pm, or the con gets shut down.
One incredible half-hour later, the staff announced that enough money had been raised. I just had to capture the energy and emotion in the room at that wonderful moment.
We are DashCon. We are tumblr. We are fandom. We are the champions, we will stand as one, and we will NOT be crushed.
