What would make the best DC ever?

What would make the best DC ever?

In your little fantasy world out there....is there something that would make a DC the Best DC Ever?

Maybe we can take ideas from this, and see if we can do any of them....
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Mine would be...we get DC at the Bellagio and I get to stay in the penthouse suite overlooking the fountain on Microsoft's bill. If its big enough, definitely throw a party in that thing as well, hosted by Icetre and Abby, sponsored by...Apple. They kick everyone who is not from DC out of the hotel, and give us free passes to the buffet as well as the Aladdin buffet as well.

DC gets control of the hotel TV system as well as all the piped music in the stores and hallways.

The hotel security is all Vegas showgirls mixed with a few male strippers.

I have someone to sell cds and shirts for me in the vendor room so I can enjoy con. (I've never been to a single talk!)

Poolcon 24/7. Also open bar there, too.

Douglas Rushkoff gives a talk about coercion or other kinds of social engineering.

DC gets RA for a night and I get to hire the djs on...i haven't decided whose bill yet. (Both DC and international/national people.) OR a party at ICE.

ToxicBBQ held at Lake Mead on multiple houseboats.


um that's all I can think of for now....

Oh that's so sweet! I pretty much agree with everything, but we'd have to pay them to turn off the scent injectors in the hvac system. I can't take that floral shit for long.

[hackajar]

Having control of music on overhead would be HUGE! I like that idea a lot. Also, I liked to "Frat Row" stylings of previous con's. Wish we could have a more open con next year. (less exclusive parties).

[digital_blue]

How about everything you said, and at the end of it, just before the final talk, a long procession of feds and M$ execs in a musical rendition of "You were right and we were wrong" complete with flat-top hats and canes, in a very "Looney Toons-esq" manner.

Oh yes... and a much bigger lock picking village. :P

How about you have to pick a lock before they will sell you a badge to get in? Deviant?

[BlackOrchid]

Honestly, who can argue with Jackalope?! You are now the Goddess of DC!

[DJ Jackalope]

You just made me blush!

[kallahar]

I'd like a con where jackalope's set doesn't get interrupted.

[Deviant Ollam]

How about you have to pick a lock before they will sell you a badge to get in? Deviant?hehe... while that might make for some seriously upset people who are denied entry... i could see the possibility of a few velvet ropes, secured with various locks, that would allow passage to shorter express lines for check-in should an attendee be able to pick past them. :biggrin:

as for what would make the best defcon ever? simple, in my mind... our banned friends allowed back into the Riv and a guarentee from the hotel staff that legal activities won't be interefered with under any circumstances... if there is a party and everyone there is over 21, then the hotel has to fuck off. personally, i think i might be just as happy back at the alexis park as with the Riv.

[Siviak]

everything Jackalope said.. plus hookers and blow

[bascule]

hookers and blow

That goes without saying

[Deviant Ollam]

hookers and blowwas there a dearth of them before? some folks must be hanging out in the wrong rooms.

I can't pick my way out of a wet paper bag (yet), so we know I won't be there! :P

The best dc ever would be the one where i figure out how to turn 24 hours into 32 hours, so I could get that fantastic 8 hours of (likely drunk) sleep.

My feet never hurt, I don't have to track down lost people, and people get the hell out of my way.

There are a plethora of girls t-shirts ( GIRLS TEE not FREAKING babydolls ) That actually have cool sayings on them that i would wear. (Instead of "I love my geek" and the useless scenewhoresque style tees that everyone has ) I want to see girls tees that say F*ck RFID and Guys dig chicks who write recursive algorithms and so on and so on.... although i dont want either just using as examples.

Girls that should not wear certain things, don't.

(or women way too old for shirts above the belly button and skirts 4 inches from the crotch *shudders at the things i saw * )

The pool is ours, and people wait to have orgies in it until the last night.

There is atleast one kick ass party that doesn't play techno or disco music all night, instead opting for some rock, punk & a little ska. No offense, but it gives me a headache after too long.

[erehwon]

Monkey Butlers! :biggrin:

[Snowblind]

From the above, I would have to take the non-sore feet and monkey butlers (or at least some sort of primate butler).

I'd like to add free, cold, non-tainted water to that list (If there was any, I couldn't find it). I gets powerful thirsty from the cigarette smoke and generally stuffy air. Fans that periodically mist some areas (without the sensitive electronics) of the chill-out room with water would be nice.

18+ parties that don't get shut down or turned into 21+ parties would also be a plus.

Givaways! Ridiculous givaways that happen every other hour, on the hour. Or any time that a team from CTF make a steal, or some other trigger. Thoughts?

Hey, let''s not forget that it wasn't to long ago that the only shirts you could get at con were mens XL and up! Progress is being made.

I think now there are more women who attend con for themselves better shirt choices will follow.

I tryy not to pick on other women, but I have seen some stuff that required eyebleach. But you have to take the good with the bad I guess.

We always try to play a mix of music, but we got shut down before we got a chance this year. :-(

Oh well, next year will be better. Hopefully whatever location we choose for the party this year will have a better understaanding of what "We are throwing a party in the room" than the people at the Riv did.

Instead of Black badges, how about Badges of Immunity?
