[IN PERSON] Escapade NEW Hotel Subscription Packages and Our Amazon Wish List!

2026-03-16T05:05:45Z

Posted by: escapade_team

Hey Escapaders!

Are you wondering how you can contribute to Escapade? Did you know Escapade has an Amazon Wishlist? Help make the convention better by surprising us with something on the list!

https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/10N1JE3HOX0S4

Also! We have something super cool for you!

A lot of folks have been saying that paying for the hotel all at once is difficult. DaughterofElros came up with a BRILLIANT idea: Lay Away Your Con Stay! You can now subscribe and cover your registration for both In-Person and Virtual Escapade, PLUS your hotel room. No more messing with the hotel website trying to book under the group code; the convention will book your stay for you, in your name.

Four options to follow:

https://escapadecon.net/shop/monthly-donation-3-way-hotel-plus-reg/

For $39 a month paid over 12 months, you will receive:

Registration to that year’s In-Person Escapade convention

Registration to that year’s Virtual Escapade convention

A shared 2-bed (plus sofa bed) hotel room with two other folks for Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights of the convention. You will be one of three people in the room.

You can let us know who you want to share with, or we can arrange to house subscribers together.

(Three people, three nights.)

https://escapadecon.net/shop/monthly-donation-duet-hotel-plus-reg/

For $49 a month paid over 12 months, you will receive:

Registration to that year’s In-Person Escapade convention

Registration to that year’s Virtual Escapade convention

YOUR CHOICE of a 2-Queen-bed or 1-King-bed hotel room shared with one other person for Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights of the convention. You will be one of two people in the room.

You can let us know who you want to share with, or we can arrange to house subscribers together.

(Two people, three nights.)

https://escapadecon.net/shop/monthly-donation-solo-hotel-plus-reg/

For $79 a month paid over 12 months, you will receive:

Registration to that year’s In-Person Escapade convention

Registration to that year’s Virtual Escapade convention

A 1-King-bed hotel all to yourself for Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights of the convention. You will be the only person in the room.

(One person, three nights.)

https://escapadecon.net/shop/monthly-donation-party-week-hotel-plus-reg/

For $59 a month paid over 12 months, you will receive:

Registration to that year’s In-Person Escapade convention

Registration to that year’s Virtual Escapade convention

A shared 2-bed (plus sofa bed) hotel room with two other folks for Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, AND Monday nights of the convention weekend. That’s SIX nights! You will be one of three people in the room.

(Three people, SIX nights. PARTY WEEK!)

One small note: if you have status with Hilton you should receive any appropriate benefits. However, you won’t earn Hilton points on a subscription stay (because these will be booked on the convention’s account, not yours).

If you've already pre-paid your registration (thank you!) you can get any of these options as a Hotel Only option for $10 less per month. Just let us know which one you want and we'll set it up for you. For example, Option 1 would be only $29 per month. We can also tailor an option with a different stay length or a different number of people in the room; just let us know what you’re looking for!

To check out all of our subscription options please go here:

https://escapadecon.net/register/register-for-both-conventions-with-a-subscription/

Thank you for supporting Escapade!

[IN PERSON] Escapade 36 Wayback and Wildcard Poll

2026-02-14T07:05:53Z

Posted by: escapade_team

Hey there Escapader!

It’s poll time. Ba dum pa! We have one poll for you to go through and take real quick. It should only take a few minutes.

The poll is the Wayback and Wildcard Poll. The Wayback panel possibilities include several panels from ten years ago. Please vote now and the top two will be voted on during the Escapade 36 Welcome Panel to see which panel makes it to the final schedule. The Wildcard panel gives YOU the option to suggest a panel topic for something new and exciting that didn’t make it onto the final schedule.

Wildcard and Wayback Panel Survey: https://tinyurl.com/Escapade36WWPoll

Thanks for voting! Stay tuned for more announcements pending.

Escapade 36 is 10 Days Away! Is Your Hotel Room Booked?

2026-02-11T05:09:43Z

Posted by: escapade_team

Hey Escapaders!

Escapade is only TEN DAYS away! Can you believe it? If you haven’t booked your hotel room now is the time. Our special Convention room rate — plus exclusive hotel perks — ends this Friday. After that, rates go up and you’ll lose our perks like discounted parking ($20 plus tax per night versus $70 per night!), free cancelation up to the day before, a refund on check out of the mandatory $12.92 per night tax, and a reduced deposit (capped at $250 for the whole stay). Plus, you support Escapade!

https://escapadecon.net/hotel-travel/

You’ll know you’re booking with the Escapade link as the Quick Book button will also say: "Rcgc Escapade". If you're not seeing the "Rcgc Escapade" on the Quick Book button for the dates you want, or if the room type you want to book is unavailable, let us know ASAP! We'll work with the hotel to increase availability.

If you've already booked, check your confirmation email from Hilton and make sure it says: "Your Rate Information: RCGC ESCAPADE" to verify that you'll receive our negotiated benefits.

Don’t miss out on the discounted rate and hotel perks. Friday will be here fast!

Hi folks,

Interested in turning your goods and artwork into cold hard cash? Escapade has multiple ways!

NIGHT MARKET

Thursday night, 6pm to 9pm, Con Suite

Con attendees are welcome to sell their materials, arts, crafts, etc. at the NIGHT MARKET. Help us kick the party off in style with your sellable goods. Table space is limited, so please email us ASAP if you are interested in participating. There is no cost to sell at the Night Market. info@...

FAN FAIRE

Friday morning, 9:00am to 10:50am, Del Mar Conference Room

The morning FAN FAIRE is the OG market for con attendees to sell their materials, arts, crafts, etc. Table space is limited, so please email us ASAP if you are interested in participating. There is no cost to sell at the Fan Faire. info@...

ART SHOW

Friday afternoon: 2pm to 8pm, Saturday: 9am to 6pm, Del Mar Conference Room

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. Before the con, please register your artwork and bring it during the con on Friday between 1-2pm to the Del Mar Conference Room. Escapade takes a 10% commission on art sales.

ART AND CHARITY AUCTION

Sunday morning, 9:30am to 11am, Laguna/Malibu Conference Rooms

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 ACLU), or to Escapade. Escapade takes a 10% commission on art sales.

DEALER ROOM TABLE

Too much amazing stuff to sell? For the low price of $50, you can get a table in our Dealer Room for the entire convention! There’s only one table left, though, so if you want it, grab it here!

https://escapadecon.net/shop/dealer-table/

We can’t wait to see you and your art!

Escapade 36 Panel Ballot Closes Next Week and Registration Coupons!

2026-01-08T21:12:54Z

Posted by: escapade_team

You've got until January 14 (that's next Wednesday!) to vote for which panels you want to see at Escapade 36! There are lots of great suggestions, and we want you to have the programming you're most excited about, so go vote:

https://escapadecon.net/panels/panel-voting/

It's a long ballot, lots of choices, and if you need a moment to study it, there's a handy pdf you can download to read before starting your vote here:

https://escapadecon.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Esc36-Panel-Ballot-Details.pdf

Once you're done with your ballot, start thinking about art show and vid show submissions! Vids show deadline is February 14.

And don't forget our very special coupons. Introducing the Silver and Gold Friendship Sale:

If you bring along someone who has NEVER attended an in-person Escapade before, have them use the code EscapadeSilver36 for a discount of a whopping $75 off their ticket! Plus, we'll give YOU a coupon for $25 off next year's registration. These are some of the best discounts we've ever offered, so don't miss out! (If you are a first time attendee and you've already registered, please let us know by the end of January whether you'd rather have $75 refunded or donate it to the Escapade scholarship fund.)

If you haven't attended an Escapade for at least five years (that is, your last Escapade was in 2020 or earlier) use the coupon code EscapadeGold36 for a discount of $50 off your registration! If you're not sure whether you qualify, remind us of your badge name and we'll let you know. (Again, if you do qualify and you've already bought your registration, please let us know by the end of January whether you'd like the $50 refunded or donated.)

If you don't fit either of these categories, we love you and we haven't forgotten you! Use the code EscapadeFriends36 for a discount of $10. (This coupon is only applicable to the full priced registration cost of $150.00. If you paid $150 for your registration, let us know by the end of January whether you'd like $10 refunded or donated.)

All coupons are only applicable to a Full Weekend membership and they all expire at the end of January, so don't wait!

In-Person Escapade 36 Registration and Hotel info is live!

2025-09-07T17:17:43Z

Posted by: escapade_team

Hey Escapaders!

We’re now just six months out from the next in-person Escapade, and I know many of you have been excited to book your hotel and register for the convention. The wait is over!

To register for the convention:

1. Start by going to https://escapadecon.net/shop/register-for-in-person-escapade-2026/

2. After making your payment, you should be taken to a page to enter your badge name and other information. If you aren’t, try going to https://escapadecon.net/escapade-36-registration-in-person/ and filling out the form there.

That’s it!

If you’ve already registered for the convention, you should be in our system. Unfortunately, you can’t easily pull up the information from the form you submitted (this is something we are working on fixing) but if you want to re-submit your information, you can go to https://escapadecon.net/update-your-registration-info/.

To book your hotel room:

1. Start at our special magic link: https://www.hilton.com/en/attend-my-event/laxabes-rcg-5fcb641f-16e7-47bb-b537-45ad15911160/

2. Click “Book a Room”.

3 .At the top of the page it takes you to, select the dates you want. It will default to a six night stay, so it’s important to change this to the actual dates you want! Make sure you also choose the right number of guests for your room.

4. Choose the room type you want, enter your information, and you’re all set!

Remember, if you book with our link, you get many benefits, including discounted parking ($20 per night versus $60 per night!), a refund of the mandatory $12.92 per night tax, and a reduced deposit (capped at $250 for the whole stay). Plus, you support Escapade! If you have any trouble using the link above, please let us know ASAP.

Pro Tip:

It’s recommended to come in on or before Thursday night and leave no earlier than Sunday if you want to experience the full convention. We might have some fun activities for early birds who get there on Tuesday or Wednesday, too! And of course, if you want to stay for the Tired Puppy Pile party, you may want to wait until Monday to head out…

We’re so excited to see you there!

[In-Person Escapade 35] Unofficial panels, Meetups, and DIYs, Oh My!

2025-01-29T19:37:19Z

Posted by: escapade_team

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,
