Significant Other Memberships

[escapade_team]

A few people have asked, so here it is: We are now offering Significant

Other memberships.

What is it, you ask? I’ll tell you — if you’re registered and coming

to Escapade, you can bring your possibly less fannish S.O. for a mere

$65.00. Your S.O. will be welcomed at the Welcome Party, the Vid Show,

the Art Show and Auction, the Sunday morning breakfast, the con suite,

the dealer’s room… Basically, they’re welcome to all areas of the con

except for panel discussions.

Video Live Streaming...

[escapade_team]

Since we have vidders submitting vids who aren’t always able to attend

Escapade, we thought it would be nice to see if we could figure out how

to live stream the vid show on Saturday evening.

The problem we have is, we have no idea how to make that happen, so

we’re looking for some tech help so we can find out if this is something

that can be done. If this is in your skill-set, please contact us and

share your expertise! Email here: info@escapadecon.net
