Streaming for a reason, 2020!

Hello DunneCon goers!

We heard through the grapevine that some folks want MOAR DUNNECON PRIME!  So, to that end, we are streaming tonight and every Friday at 7pm until June!

Now, we aren't just doing this to get yours, mine or everyone else's rocks off, we are doing this for Charity, which somehow makes our shenanigans justifiable!

Please join us at 7pm EST as we'll play games, chat, kareoke or just generally mess around on our live stream!

And, because we did this through Tiltify, there are milestones!

If ya'all get to 100 bucks tonight, Dee will color her hair any color chat chooses, isn't that just swell?

What other shit can we get Dee to do?  I guess you'll have to join the stream and find out!  

Tonight and every Friday at 7PM, DunneCon DunneCast DunneStream!  Live on TWITCH!

ALSO,

Did you know DunneCon Prime has a Podcast?

Well, we do!  It's called the "DUNNECON DUNNECAST!" and is available any place you get your podcasts.

Why?

Cus we work for a media company, and that's what you do when you work for a media company.

Speaking of, please throw Undeniable Entertainment and Media a like or a follow on the socials!  Especially if you have enjoyed DunneCon.  We will be regularly producing content for them.

Friday Event: #stuffonmyheadfriday

Hello everyone and welcome to DunneCon 2019!!

As some of you may be aware, Dee does a silly picture every Friday where she puts a random object on her head, hashtags it #stuffonmyheadfriday and posts to social media.

The reason behind this is simple:  she lost custody of her 3 young sons due to some rather sad and screwed up events that we won't go into here.  Since she cannot see her sons, and they can only sneak glances at her, she puts a thing on her head every Friday to let them know they are on her mind!

So, for Friday, let's all do it!  Get creative, get crazy!  Hashtag it #stuffonmyheadfriday #DunneCon2019 so that everyone can see it!
The more ridiculous the thing, the better!

Friday's Event: Stuff on my head Friday, pass it on!!!!!!!!

Twitter/Insta/TikTok: #DunneCon2019


Dunne Con is a revolutionary new approach to the world of convention going.  Dunne Con is exactly what you need to be, exactly where you need it to be, and exactly how you need it to be.  How does one accomplish this in a Convention, one may ask?  I'm glad you did.

The con takes place in the comfort of your own home, or where ever it is you'll be spending Oct 30th-November 3rd this year!

That's right.  The convention is held entirely in your own living space using only the resources that you have available.  All that is required to attend Dunne Con is a costume of some kind, or not, and the ability to take digital photographs or videos, an internet connection, and (this is the important part) the willingness to be completely goofy in the name of a collective good time.  The convention is a virtual meeting place where the geeking happens.  All the geeking.

DunneCon after Dark will occur on our new discord server, which can be found at https://discord.gg/UdqGd57
The origin of Dunne Con is, as all great ideas, a simple one.  Halloween of 2015 was coming up and the original organizers of Dunne Con (Danielle "Dee" Dunne and Steven Dunne) were too broke to attend a conventional Halloween party and lacked the proper motivation to make their own home presentable for a real-deal shindig. 

Genius was struck when it was decided that they would make their own convention and call it Dunne Con.  It started as a joke.  A throw-away line.  A quip.  It became so much more.  It grew into an institution. Friends in droves started adding their own pictures and experiences to the contributory mess, leading us to where we are today.  The simple ask is this...during the weekend of Halloween, place a few silly photos, videos, or whathaveyou's on whatever social media outlet of your choosing.  We ask that there be costumes involved.  And preference is always given to mirth and silliness.  

Label these offerings with #DunneCon2019

Vendors are invited to share their online stores as well with the hashtag.  As with all conventions, vendor rooms are an integral part of the experience, and this virtual convention is no different.  The Dunnes love you and want you to be happy.  And of course, there will be cake.  If you make it that is...

See you all at the con!

Love,

The Dunnes

DunneCon Official dates announced!

Hi all and welcome back!

Good day, my dear, brothers, sisters, and others in arms!

Welcome to DunneCon 2017, please see this as your pamphlet upon registering, (aka accepting our invite on our Facebook Event.)

A few things to remember: This event is all about you, for you and run by YOU, how much fun you have is directly proportionate to how much fun you are willing to have!

So, get that Optimus Prime Cosplay dusted off, or your Constantine Duster... erm, also dusted off!

We will have Live Events this year ala Facebook: this is a window into how DunneCon Prime runs DunneCon.  Plus, you know me and Steven fucking LOVE being cute and disgusting and adorable. I want to invite YOU to do the same!

Wear your costume, be your best you, enjoy yourself, kick back a few adult beverages if you are of age, get suitably intoxicated for whatever you are doing.  Bring us all along on your weekend adventures, because we are those creepers who fucking LOVE seeing your vacation photos, and hang out on your albums all day long in between spontaneous bouts of doing our real jobs.

Post yourself in your finest finery, your funky PJs, bring the kids, bring the spouse!  Also, if you have a musical.ly account, do things there.  This is full multimedia and fully wherever you are!

However, a few caveats to that.

1. If you lose things, DunneCon will feel really bad about it, but will ultimately not be responsible for your lost or stolen things.

2. If you are unhappy with the atmosphere and aesthetic of your location of DunneCon, we advise you to go to your site supervisor, (who will be you, of course,) and inform them of your distaste.  Then you can have a hardy discussion about politics, or religion, or sexual deviancy, or like, share a really interesting cookie recipe... Your choice.  If you don't like where you are, change it, move it, or use the rest of the con to entertain you.  There is always a lot to do! When in doubt, choose a costume, leave your house/office and #Treechyoself

3. Feel free to host "Workshops" live on Facebook.  Or, you can just say they are going on and wonder why your garage is full of strangers!  :)

4. Performers, artists, musicians, and writers: if you have a video, or a live video of you doing your thing, we WILL PROMOTE YOU.  Promise.  Like, for realz.  Our con reaches all of our Facebook friends and that's at least a couple hundred people.  Really, you want in on the ground floor of this, mainly because it's so silly!  Writers, try a book signing!  Just set yourself up with a book, your trusty smartphone, and sign a book right on camera!  Musicians, having practice on Saturday?  Bring DunneCon with you!!  Record part of your practice and let us see it!  Performers, do you have extra time before a gig?  Broadcast live!  Post what you want to see.  Be the change, all that stuff.

SPECIAL FRIDAY EVENT!

All staff and con-goers of DunneCon are invited and encouraged to take part in #stuffonmyheadfriday!


Here's how it works:
1. Find a thing
2. Put it on your head
3. Take a picture
4. ???
5. PROFIT

Ok, just joking, no profit, but FUN!!  This comes from my weekly #stuffonmyheadfriday post.

I do it because my 3 sons currently live with new adoptive parents.  The adoptive parents aren't too keen that I sent their son/my boy's father to jail.  They won't let me see the kids saying they are starting a "new narrative" for them and trying to reprogram them into not remembering I exist. Which is upsetting, of course, but I kind of have no choice but to trust their judgment.

Anyway, I invented stuff on my head Friday to let my little boys know that they are always on my mind.  They don't want Mama to be unhappy, I know they worry, and I know they can't see my posts, but when they one day run across me and figure out to unblock me, I want them to see how much I love them, and that Mama was really ok, and was really thinking of them the whole time. Also, that I was wholly me the whole time.

My kids can't see my posts, but that doesn't mean they can't see YOU.  Spread it.  Let's all put stuff on our head and take a picture!  :)  Also, you can take part anytime!  You can not take part anytime!  Whichever, farbeit from me to tell you how to run your Con!!!

For those of you seeing this first, and not the Facebook Invite, please go to the following link and say you'll be coming along!

We'll be doing this thing November 3-5, (right alongside YoumaCon, yet again cus we are creatures of habit!)  

The 5 W's of DunneCon

What is DunneCon?
This all stems from Steven and I being bored and wanting to go to Youmacon but having no money last year.  Also, with my mild social anxiety, large conventions are severely taxing to me.  I do them anyway, but UGH the toll I pay for it is enormous!

So, we asked the question: What if we just dressed up in costumes all weekend, maybe post a few things on social media?  That would be fun, sure!

Steven then remembered a time when he was in Indiana all by himself and hosted a 1 man online Con.  No one responded.  He was sad about it, but he kept making posts anyway to entertain himself.  He said it was a sad and lonely time in his life. Then I said... "Well that was then, this is now, you are surrounded with a bunch of NEW people, and I'll betcha everyone will play along."

"This is a terrible idea, Dee... Let's do it!"

Thus the birth of Dunne Con

So, we invited our friends to dress up in costumes all weekend.  Our kids are living with their respective other parents, we had a nice little landing pad.  We see this as a celebration of our friends, and of our marriage and of all things geeky.  DunneCon Prime, as we call ourselves, will be going about our normal weekend activities, but adding a bit of magic to it. Costumes, witty ideas, online "workshops", you name it! Use your imagination!

We celebrate YOU this weekend. All of you in your uniquely you-ness.  Be who you are and we will love you for it.  Even if who you are right now is Batman, who am I kidding?  Especially if you are Batman!  Even if we were friends last year and grew apart or are no longer friends, you are invited and we celebrate you!  This is a time for all of us to get together and share our geekiness.  Hop in your finery and take a picture!



Where is DunneCon?  We often answer "anywhere you are" to this question, and really, it's TRUE! Post a picture, or a status update, make a video or 3, get creative!!.  Use #DunneCon2016 on your social networks, and put it up on the event page, you can also put it up on our DunneCon Facebook page!  Will it ever have an official "location"?  Nope.  That defeats the point of the Con!!


When is DunneCon?  We will be holding DunneCon on the first weekend of November every year until we decide not to.


Why DunneCon?  The world needs more unity.  We can unite here regardless of religion, sexual orientation, political stances, area codes, zip codes, or any other divider.  We are one big happy dysfunctional family this weekend!

Who can and should participate in DunneCon?
EVERYONE.  NO LIMITS.  
Just post as you normally would on your social networks and include the hashtag, or just post on the event page or business page.  We will witness you!!!

DunneCon 2016: Spring Report Teaser

Greetings and Salutations all Hedonists, Misfits, and Geeks of All Stripes,

DunneCon Prime is going on the road in the near future.  Starting May 27 and ending June 2, the travelling travesty (tm) will be traversing the upper reaches of Michigan in search of one of the coolest things this world has to offer...a glimpse at the Aurora Borealis, aka the Northern Lights.  We intend a full report after we return.  This post is intended to whet the appetite not just for the DC1 trip, but as a reminder of the Big Show (DunneCon 2016) in October.  And lest we not forget...this is also a celebration of the Founder's First Wedding Anniversary.  Join us (virtually) in the celebration.  

Don't forget to let your freak flags fly,

Nyx
