Summary

In our first commercial disaster, it was supposed to be the first Tumblr convention, a safe place for fans to share their joy in things like Sherlock, Welcome to Night Vale, anime, and other interests. But what was supposed to be a good time ended up being a prolonged dumpster fire, complete with a bouncy house and a ball pit.

0:00.0	Hello, everybody. This is Jennifer Matterese. And before I get started with the episode today, I'd just like to take care of the usual housekeeping.
0:07.4	First of all, if you've been wanting to hear a particular disaster on the podcast, you can do so for a $25 or more donation to the podcast PayPal account at disaster area at mail.com.
0:19.5	Just add the name of the disaster you'd like me to cover to the notes on the
0:23.3	donation and I'll add it to the list. Just bear with me because I'm really, really bad about
0:28.5	responding to messages. I haven't responded to a message from my mother in about three days now.
0:34.4	So, you know, if I don't respond to your message after you've made a donation and sent
0:39.8	me your request, don't worry, I have it. I will be adding it to the list. I just am terrible
0:49.0	at getting back to you. I'm sorry. It's not you. It's me. Normally, when it comes to requests,
0:55.5	I do them when and if I can, but this will mean I will definitely cover It's not you. It's me. Normally when it comes to requests, I do them when and if I can,
0:59.9	but this will mean I will definitely cover the topic you request as soon as I can finish all of the research for it and write it up. So, you know, remember, if it's a bigger disaster, it may take
1:06.1	me a little bit longer, and if it's a more recent disaster, I may wait a little bit longer
1:10.1	just to get more
1:10.9	information in. The subject for this particular episode was requested by my therapist.
1:17.2	Sort of. If you'd like to help to support the podcast, you can do so with a one-time donation
1:22.9	through PayPal at Disaster Area atmail.com or on a per-episode basis through Patreon at www.com
1:32.2	slash disaster area podcast. A per-episode donation of even as little as a dollar in episode
1:38.5	can help me do things like keep the lights on and pay my rent and buy my dog cute little coats that look absolutely
1:46.7	adorable in pictures and make you go, aw, including this little denim number that I'm thinking
1:52.5	about picking up at Petco. So if you did become a patron, I would very much appreciate it.
1:58.1	You can also follow the podcast on Facebook at Disaster Area Podcast
2:01.9	and on Twitter and Instagram at Disaster Area Pod, and please think about rating and
2:06.6	reviewing the podcast on iTunes. And as always, the sources for each new episode can be found
