💀 GothCon 💀

Well that came fast, still quite a few things I want to add before the site goes live at midnight if I can, but my Fourth Wall will officially be up tomorrow! I will have my channel emotes, and all the @dcgothcon.bsky.social designs up there on stickers and other fun things like mugs.

Is it people though?

Eyyy! It’s #musicmonday! Whatcha listening to?

Solid idea GothCon folks

On site and will be here for a bit. Spiky hat is currently hanging out by the cab stand out front, and will likely be in the vicinity of that and outside of hall 1 for a while

We'll be at lvcc early afternoon dropping off some fistfuls of stickers we still have left, and will make a post when that's happening. It'll be the same spiky hat person who was doing some of the badge drops and he'll have an extra lanyard for you, so come say hi :)

Thank you, everyone, for an amazing Gothcon 2025 party! All of the volunteers and folks behind the scenes, all of you are amazing and we couldn't make this happen without you. Also a big thank-you to Defcon parties for letting us do our thing, and all of you folks for showing up and having a blast!

If you lost your iPhone at GothCon we have turned it into DEF CON lost and found.

We found more lanyards! If you have a badge without a lanyard, come back to the badge table and get one!

GothCon is completely sold out of blinky badges! Thanks for your support! If you got one of the last few without a lanyard, we'll get you one tomorrow morning!

GothCon is in W231-232! We also have the remaining GothCon blinky badges to distribute here, so if you missed one this is where to get it! (GothCon badges not needed to come to the party, they're just for fun!) #defcon #defcon33 #dcgothcon

GothCon 2025 starts in 30 minutes! We have 3 bars in the room and all the loud, spooky, and stompy music you need. Last year this was one of the biggest parties of DEF CON and we hope to repeat that! #defcon #defcon33 #dcgothcon

Spiky hat badge drop is done. Stay tuned for more, and if you miss out on the daytime drops fear not: we will have more at the party tonight

Any we have left will be at the party tonight! I moved on but I think one of us is still outside the front entrance with a few badges!

Looking for a gothcon badge ahead of the party tonight? I have a small handful of extras on my person. Outside lvcc entrance at the cab drop-off, spiky hat. Come find me.

I have returned there

Nope, just moved on after 30 minutes! I'm still nearby if you are

I have a few dozen GothCon badges for a morning drop! By the exterior doors in the North Lobby (by Hall 4 & the Soma stage) again! Wearing a black & blue DEF CON shirt and carrying a DEF CON messenger bag. #dcgothcon #defcon #defcon33 #badgelife

You need a DEF CON badge because it's in the convention center and you can't get to it without one. The GothCon badges, however, are just for fun and you absolutely don't need one to come to the party!

Calling it a night soon. We'll be back tomorrow, and see everyone at the party!

Alrite folks. Smoking deck, directly outside from Hacker Jeopardy. Spiky hat. Come find me

Badge drop at the North lobby in 5 minutes! Look for someone with a GothCon badge on their bag.

We are inbound to lvcc with more badges right meow! Stay tuned for drop details

Also, if anyone has technical difficulties with their badge (won't charge, button stops working, etc.) bring it by at the beginning of GothCon tomorrow (9pm) and we'll have extra frames and will swap yours for a working one!

Very small badge drop now in the North Lobby where our own djdead is currently playing! Probably only 15-20 mins. #dcgothcon #defcon #defcon33 #badgelife

I'm about to do one in the North Lobby again! Very small this time though!

More badge drops will be happening later tonight in the vicinity of lvcc, so stay tuned.

Also, to answer a very common question we've been getting the art on this year's badge is based on tarot decks and there are a total of 26 unique designs: all 22 major arcanums, and an ace from each suit.

Calling the end of this badge drop, but there will be more!
