Friday the 22nd, join us for Opening Night, Escapade’s dance party, where we don’t just play music, we dance to vids! We boogie to great dance vids from your favorite fandoms, new and old. Just vidded Detroit: Become Human?  What about classic Star Trek?  Do you have old MFU vids on DVD that you’d like to send us, or have you just spotted a great MFU movie vid on Youtube? Let us know!


We’ll be selecting the show for diversity of fandoms, diversity of vidders, and good musical flow. We welcome vids of any era, including old VCR vids (provided we can find a high enough quality digital file). We’d love to include more vidders outside of Escapade/Vividcon/Festivids circles whose work the Escapade audience might be missing out on. Let us know about your old favorites and undiscovered gems. Got a favorite fandom or dance song but no favorite vid? Let us know and we’ll see if we can find one.


Whether it’s a famous classic or somebody’s first vid, if you want to dance to it, we want to hear about it. Send ideas and suggestions to Franzi: fdickson@ix.netcom.com


Don’t be shy: rec us something!

The Escapade schedule still has many slots open and available for you to fill with…well, with whatever kind of programming you want and can’t already find on the schedule!  Maybe your panel idea didn’t make the cut, or you just thought of it yesterday.  Maybe you’d like to pimp people into your shiny new fandom.  Maybe you want to see who will join you to play a new fandom-themed game you just thought of.  Maybe you want to get a gang together and watch your favorite episode of your favorite show.  Maybe you want to hang out with folks from an old fandom and reminisce.  Sign up for a slot and make it happen!

Dance Party


Friday, join us for Opening Night, Escapade's dance party where we'll boogie to great dance vids and revisit fandoms new and old. Just vidded Hamilton? What about classic Star Trek? Classic Trek to a song from Hamilton? Do you have old MFU vids on DVD that you'd like to send us, or have you just spotted a great MFU movie vid on Youtube? Let us know!

We'll be selecting the show for diversity of fandoms, diversity of vidders, and good musical flow. We welcome vids of any era, including old VCR vids (provided we can find a high enough quality digital file). We'd love to include more vidders outside of Escapade/Vividcon/Festivids circles whose work the Escapade audience might be missing out on. Let us know about your old favorites and undiscovered gems or just the fandoms you'd love to see included and the songs you'd love to dance to.

We're looking for already-released vids that are infectiously booty-shaking with big, beautiful, high-quality files suitable for playing through a projector. (If you've got a new vid in progress, the Saturday night vidshow welcomes your premieres.)

Membership Options:  Escapade Your Way

Historically at Escapade we have encouraged attendees to come for the full weekend (aka the Escapade experience). We understand that for some, this won't work. Therefore, we've developed alternative membership options:

One Day Membership. Available Friday, Saturday or Sunday. Check the programming schedule when considering which one-day membership to choose so you don't miss whatever is most important to you. Cost: $85

Plus One. Bring a date to Escapade's social functions. This option is available to attending members only.  Use your "Plus 1" ticket to bring a spouse, partner, or friend to the social functions of Escapade. Includes Friday night party, Saturday night vid show, Sunday art auction, and access to the dealer room. Cost: $50

Non-Attending Membership. Available to people who can't attend, but still want to be part of the Escapade experience. Includes a reg packet (program book, schedule, badge, any freebies we end up offering to attending members), access to panel voting and online voodoo message board (new in 2017), and our undying gratitude. Cost: $35

Trek Art Retrospective
Escapade is celebrating the 50th Anniversary of Star Trek by hosting a 
fandom artwork retrospective.  We are looking for fanworks of all sorts 
and from all of the Trek verses for display at the art show.  Art for 
the retrospective will be for display only, not for sale, and will be 
returned to the owner after the show.  Anyone interested in displaying 
their own art or works from their collection at Escapade, please 
contact: saklani2@gmail.com  If you cannot bring your art and need to 
ship it to us, we will need to have it in hand by February 19th.
