🙏What a weekend! Thanks to everyone who came out and supported the performers in Las Vegas this weekend at Hackamania! This was a particularly difficult weekend because I am very injured and physically useless. So many people helped bring this fantastic event together - Moody, Sean, Leah, Bree, Vinnie Paulino, Eric S., Baloney Factory, Makini Balloons, The Plaza Hotel and Casino staff, Joel from The Golden Nugget, and more.
Thank you to all of the performers, Jim & Them, Pat Dixon, Kool Aid, Anthony Cumia, The Creep-Off, Adam Busch, review girls Megan and Annie, all our costume contest entrants, Lucy Tightbox, Charles Chance, Jenny Jingles, Trucker Andy, Producer Chris, Nick Rekieta, Hayley, Rocco, JT, Paul Shea, the tremendously gracious Doctor Steve, and anyone I’ve almost certainly left out.
From a small rock club three years ago to a large theatre this year, the community and genuine friendships that have grown out of this event continue to amaze me. There are some very good people in the Dabbleverse, and I’m proud that this event has become a centerpiece in bringing many of those people together, not only from around the country, but this year from Australia, New Zealand, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Ireland, Germany, England, Canada and more. With a focus in a generally toxic corner of the internet, Hackamania remains a peaceful and encouraging event filled with truly supportive artists, creators and performers coming together and making real friends and memories together.
I say it every year, but I couldn’t do this without all of you, and this year was especially humbling and meaningful for me.
Thank you for your contribution to this amazing weekend and event, no matter how great or small. We did this together.
