If you don’t know what this links to, boy are you in for a treat.
So maybe you’ve heard of Tana Mongeau. Or, if you’re like me, you haven’t, because vapid vlogger bullshit doesn’t factor into your day to day entertainment.
But you might know the wonderful meme she inspired thanks to her ill-advised beef with iDubbbz.
I wish I had more to say, but he REKT her about as hard as anyone possibly could.
Anyway, last year, aside from her run in with iDubbbz, ol’ Tana Mangia got really bent out of shape at VidCon.
Because they refused to give her a “Featured Creator” badge, which allows said creators benefits like extra security and a special area for fan meet and greets.
So this year, she decided she’d make her own VidCon, with blackjack, and hookers!
Naturally, it didn’t go well.
The hall at the Marriott, which TanaCon was to take place at, had a maximum capacity of 3,000 people. Tana Mojo stated that she sold around 5000 tickets for special meet and greets (the con admittance was itself free). There was no line management, which immediately became a problem.
Because there weren’t separate lines for ticketholders, and there were way too many people in line. As a matter of fact, those people were standing in the California sun for hours to get in to TanaCon, all 15,000 – 20,000 of them. For upwards of four hours.
Needless to say, the poorly managed event quickly exceeded that 3,000 people the hall could safely contain. And, as such, instead of being a two day event, Tana Mooshu’s TanaCon starring Tana Magoo was shut down by the fire marshal on it’s first day. But at least no one peed in the ball pit.
but to be real- i didn't expect that many people to show up outside. which in hindsight was dumb as fuck. it was the same days as vidcon and i should've prepared better. regardless of if people were telling me different, tanacon is attached to ME. and i take full responsibility.

Well I guess that’s nice.
There’s a shitty Keemstar video on the whole debacle. I wouldn’t force that on anyone, though.
I cannot bear to listen to this shit. Literally. I tapped out at about 36 seconds.
Thousands of dollars of recording equipment. Somehow can’t get hands on a $4 pop filter.
My fucking ears when.
Given that Tana Mongeau is literally a vlogger with few other apparent skills, TanaCon’s failure was all but certain.
Well, I mean, she’s good at getting kidnapped, and also apparently at getting violated with a toothbrush. But that’s about the extent of my knowledge of her talents.
