11 days to Escapade?!?!?!

[escapade_team]

Are you packed? Do you have your rides & roomies all set up? If not, now’s the time to kick things into high gear. Clear out your closet for the swap meet. Plan your pimping.

We are also picking things up here at Escapade central.

Tonight, we’ll be posting the panel cut (the list of the panels we’d like on the schedule this year, based on your voting and our best attempt to pick some lively write-ins). There are a few panels that still need leaders, or where we think the topics need massaging. In case any of those don’t end up coming together, we’ve also chosen some alternates that may get promoted. If the alternates don’t make the main schedule, they will have first choice at the alt programming (DIY) slots.

If you volunteered to lead a panel, you’ll get a personalized email with details. If you get this email (or several of them), please respond immediately, and for sure no later than 10 PM (PT) on Tuesday.
