Escapade Con

The Escapade panel schedule is posted.  Go here to view the schedule and begin planning your weekend:

Schedule

Did your panel not make the cut?  Did something catch your interest  after panels suggestions closed?  We have a plan for that!  Find a slot marked “Available” in the schedule and claim it for your panel or gathering.  Requests received by Friday 2/15 will be listed in the Escapade program book.  All we need in order to add it to the schedule is a catchy title (you do want people to come join you, right?) a description, and your preferred  choice of time.  Open slots are filled on a “first come, first served”  basis, so please pick two time slots that would work for you, and we’ll try to give you your first choice.

Panel slots can still be claimed after 2/15, but are not guaranteed to be listed in the program book.  Any slots still available at the convention can be claimed on a “first-come, first served” basis during the weekend.

So check out the schedule, consider whether you want to schedule something in an open panel slot, and enjoy thinking about all the fun programming you can attend during the weekend!  Printable version of the schedule and program book will be linked on the schedule page on the website when they are finalized.

Raffle

We love getting donations for the raffle!  What do we want, you ask? Anything new or nearly new that a fellow fan would love: DVD sets, tech stuff, custom fannish items, m/m books–use your imagination!

When do we want the donations?  Preferably as early during the convention as you can bring them to us: the more people who see them, the more tickets will be sold.

Not sure if what you want to bring is appropriate?  Email us and ask: info@escapadecon.net

All revenue from the raffle supports our Escapade 2019 charity: the ACLU, http://www.aclu.org

Swap Table

Fannish Slash Swap Meet, or I used to love it, now it’s your turn!

How does it work?  You bring something and leave it, you take something away.  If you don’t have something to leave, but see something you love, you can leave a contribution in the donation jar, and proceeds will also go to this year’s charity.  Yes, it’s just that easy!

What to bring for the Slash Swap Table: Fannish items that you have too many of or have no further need for.  Bring them and let another fan give them a good home.  Attendees (your fellow fans) love things like genre magazines, old fanzines, action figures, used but still good DVD sets, etc, etc…

What not to bring: VHS tapes — we can’t recycle them, either. We sympathize with not wanting to throw them out, but that’s what will happen to them, and we’d rather you did it at your house.

Het (m/f) romance.  We get an overabundance, and can’t store it so we’re trying to rebalance the swap meet back toward the slash side of things.

The initial list of panels for Escapade 29 has been compiled, and it can be viewed here:

https://escapadecon.net/panel-cut-2019/

Panels must have at least one moderator (preferably 2 or 3) to be added to the final schedule. Red text indicates moderator needed. This list is being updated daily as mods are confirmed. If you’d like to take on one of these panels, please let us know ASAP.

We will draft the schedule over the next few days as we confirm panel mods. Once the schedule is posted, we will open up the remaining slots for DIY panels. Stay tuned for the DIY announcement; DIY slots are first come, first served.

If you’d like to volunteer to moderate an Escapade panel, please  email us by  noon PST  on Saturday, February 2.
