[In-Person Escapade 35] Unofficial panels, Meetups, and DIYs, Oh My!
Hey there Escapaders! Got a hankering to talk about something that didn’t make it onto the schedule? “Unofficial” panels and “Meetups” are a long-standing tradition for Escapade, and we’ve left space for them!
“Unofficial” Panels and Meetups:
Want to create your own in-person meetup or unofficial panel? Here’s what to do:
Go to the Con Suite and find an open slot under “Redondo” on the Master Schedule
Write your panel name in the open slot
Then add your panel name to the schedules on every panel room door
Use our big neon post-its to advertise your panel on all panel room doors
We also have signs you can post and carry around.
Don’t forget to mention your panel on the Escapade 35 Discord; just make sure it’s clear it’s in-person, and where and when it will take place.
“DIY” panels held online during the convention:
Escapade 35 is an in-person convention, but we’re happy to provide a space for anyone to host their own online “DIY” panels during the con. Keep an eye on the Escapade 35 Discord to learn where and when these virtual panels will be taking place. Please note that Escapade staff will NOT be providing tech support for these DIY online panels; these are strictly Do-It-Yourself in every aspect. Want to create your own online DIY panel? Instructions are in place on the Discord for how to set up your panel online.
Any questions? Ask at the Con Suite or jump into the #help-desk channel on the Discord and we’ll be happy to help you out!
See you soon,

[In-Person Escapade 35] More Good Hotel News!
IN-PERSON ESCAPADE 35: Parking News
Good news for people who need to park at the hotel but aren’t planning on staying over! The day rate is only $15 a day. When you arrive at the convention, park in the garage lot beneath the hotel. You’ll grab a ticket when entering. Take the ticket to the front desk when you arrive, explain that you’re with Escapade and you need the day rate parking, and they will take care of you. If you’re planning on staying late after the dance or vid show, you may wish to double check the time when “day rate” becomes “overnight”. (Escapade’s overnight rate is $20.)

[IN-PERSON ESCAPADE 35] Sell Yourself to Help Escapade!
One of the funnest and funniest events of Escapade is the art auction on Sunday morning. If you’d like to help support Escapade, consider Selling a Service at the auction! There are all kinds of creative options, such as: writing a fanfic, drawing fanart, beta/editing services, a podfic reading, sketching a comic, making a fanvid, or other fun ideas. If you’re the type of person who’s never defaulted on an exchange, We Want You!
Please fill out the form to Sell Yourself at: https://forms.gle/DYp7J6fcnsTAiqyy6
IMPORTANT: Proceeds from this type of auction go entirely to the convention and our chosen charity. Sellers will not receive any of the proceeds from a Service auction.

Consider this your invitation to display and/or sell your works of art in the Escapade Art Show – an exhibition showcasing the diverse array of artwork prepared by our artists/craftspeople. A glorious place where Escapade attendees can ‘ooh’ and ‘ahh’ over your works, as well as bid upon them.

If your artwork gets three bids or more at the Art Show, then we send it to be lovingly auctioned off to the highest bidder at the Escapade Art and Charity Auction on Sunday.
You can choose for profits to go to yourself, Charity (this year it is the Santa Barbara Rescue Mission), or to Escapade. Escapade takes a 10% commission on art sales.
