Escapade Con

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!

profile!  Start by logging in, then go to "My Account" and once you're
there, click on the "edit your password, badge details, email and photo
preferences" link where you can choose to receive notifications direct
to your inbox, and if you don't want people taking your photo at the
con, you can select that, and it will be part of your badge.

Second, if you haven't done it yet, it's time to make your hotel
reservation!  The "Hotel" link on the website will get you where you
need to be to do that.

Third, and by no means least, help us plan the Opening Night 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? Hoping somebody
can find a great X-Files vid to celebrate its return? Let us know in the
comments.

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.)

Don't be shy: comment and rec us something!

We would also like to announce a special art show event:

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.
