The PSA’s were written specifically for the Dragon Con Audience, and as such some of the jokes may miss those who have never been to Dcon before. Below is a brief Primer on the “Inside Jokes”…

WATCH THE PSA’S BEFORE READING THIS SECTION!

ELEVATOR ODOR ALERTS: The Elevators are always packed and run 24-7 filled largely with overweight fan-boys…they quickly get a bit ripe.

SAVING THROW: In many Role Playing games like Dungeons & Dragons, if your character gets hit, you are sometimes given a “Saving Throw”, a roll of the dice to attempt to avert in-game disaster for your elf, hobbit, or whatever.

CHAINMAIL NOT SUITABLE: Another D&D reference… a Wizard who throws lighting bolts might find it unwise to be wearing a metal sweater. Also, many fans walk around Con’s in chain mail…and it ain’t always pretty.

CRUXSHADOWS: Is a big haired Goth band who are a mainstay of Dcon. Not everyone likes Goth Music/Fashion (not me I love it…) but we can ALL agree that we greatly appreciate the Goth babes that hangout at the CruxShadows booth.   Incidentally…the U is supposed to have umlauts on it, and it’s pronounced “CREW”shadows, for reasons I could give two shits about.

DAWN CONTEST: “Cry for Dawn” is subjectively classified as a “Graphic Novel”. What it really is, is a series of well-rendered pin-ups of the same Red Haired Goth-Babe, next to some really horrible prose. Every year Dcon has a “Dawn Look-a-like Contest” judged by the books creator Joseph Michael Linsner. The Dawn Contest features a herd of women who dress up like the character, most of whom are clearly delusional about the way they look half naked. Not for the squeamish.

SPANDEX: Again a reference to people who walk around Con in UNFLATTERING outfits.

BACKWARDS AUDIO: Yes it does actually say something, but I’m not telling what it is. That’s for you to figure out, bub.

LOBBY SONG: The song is a nod to the Sports Bar in the Hyatt Regency with plays center ring to most of the wildest shit that goes on at Dcon. It is open and visible to all floors of the hotel, and most of the Costumers hang out in the Hyatt Lobby to show off and get their picture taken…then walk over to the bar to get a drink or to smoke. This creates crowd scenes that make the Mos Eisley Cantina look like a backwater Sunday School.

MOS EISLEY CANTINA: The bar with all the Aliens from STAR WARS…if you actually needed me to explain that then you REALLY should log off the web and save the bandwidth for those of us who need it.

In PSA#4: Its kinda hard to see in the QuickTime version, but the show that is “coming up next” is REAL WORLD: TERRORDOME.

And lastly if you don’t get the numerous GiJoe references…how the HELL did you find this website?
