Give us your post-con feedback!

Just one more piece of post-Escapade business…


We’d love to know what you loved (or didn’t love) about Escapade this  year.  If you filled out a comments form before you

left, super!  If you  didn’t, we have it online here:

It’ll only take a few minutes, and we really appreciate knowing what worked and what might need some improvement.

Last-minute info for the weekend: weather, parking and shuttle, Thursday night pre-reg and more!

This is it!  Many of us will be finding our way to the Escapade hotel tomorrow, and the con officially begins on Friday morning. We are all looking forward to a weekend of fun and socializing and talking and playing and … and …


Weather


It looks like the weather in Los Angeles is going to be chilly (by California standards): low 60s and partially sunny.  Pack accordingly, and remember that inside will likely be air-conditioned.


Hotel airport shuttle


If you’re flying in, the hotel (Embassy Suites North) has a free shuttle from LAX.


Shuttle information provided by the hotel:


When you are coming from the terminals, go to the center median and look up for the RED SIGN that says, Hotel and Courtesy Shuttle and look for the yellow and burgundy bus.  On the side it will say, Embassy Suites LAX North, Residence Inn LAX & Airport Center. The shuttle does a constant loop from the airport to the two hotels & Airport Center.  The frequency is approximately 20 to 30 minutes, but they are not on a set schedule.


 You can contact the our hotel directly at (310) 215-1000 to have them contact dispatch. Please provide them with your terminal number and how many people are in your group. The shuttle fits up to 18 people at a time and is Handicap Accessible.


Parking at the hotel


If you’re driving in, we have negotiated a reduced parking rate with the hotel (Embassy Suites North).  For the overnight parking, each guest with a vehicle will be asked upon check-in if they are parking a car with us. If they don’t ask, tell them!


We have a discounted rate of $16+tax per day in place for Escapade 2019, and the parking charges will be charged to your hotel bill. For the daily attendees who are not staying at the hotel, you will let the front desk know you are with Escapade 2019 and pay at the front desk. You can park in any spots in either the above-ground lot, or the below-ground parking garage, and take the elevator up to the lobby. (We recommend this as it is easier and quicker access to the lobby.)


Thursday night pre-reg and more


Early registration will run from 7:00-8:30 pm in the con suite, room 430.


This year, we are offering two events on Thursday night to help you prepare for your con experience.


Thursday at 7:00 pm in the large Laguna/Malibu room, join us for a guided tour of the convention space. Based on feedback from past years, we are offering this opportunity to familiarize yourselves with the room layout before you’re scrambling to get from one panel to the next.  This tour will also be offered at 12:00 pm on Friday.


Thursday at 7:30 pm in the Newport room, we will run an early version of How to Mod a Panel. New and experienced panel mods are welcome to come ask questions, discuss what it means to moderate an Escapade panel, and share wisdom and tips with your fellow mods!  This panel will also be offered at 1:00 pm on Friday.

Escapade Scholarship recipients 2019

One of this year’s scholarship recipients, Seperis, is a first time attendee and another, Luminosity, is a long time friend of Escapade who hasn’t been with us in several years.  We’re thrilled that they will be joining us!

https://luminosity.dreamwidth.org/


https://archiveofourown.org/users/luminosity/pseuds/luminosity


The one thing that would make us happier still is to be able to help out a few more people.  To do that, though, we will need to rely on everyone’s continued generosity.  Asking for more donations is never easy, but we’re doing just that, asking that anyone who can help out, in any amount, please give to the scholarship fund.  We even make it easy to do:

You can also make donations at the con at the registration table.


Thanks in advance to everyone who helps us help others!

Escapade Reminders: Registration, Art Show, DIY Panel Signups, Volunteering

Escapade 29 is right around the corner! Less than 2 weeks until the convention starts, and there are still a few things you can do to get ready.


First, a special note regarding elevator access in the hotel:  If you are planning to commute to the con and will not be staying in the hotel, please let us know and provide us with your full real name, so we can make arrangements with the hotel for your elevator access.  They are less willing than in past years to unlock the elevators during the convention weekend. If you let us know, we can give your name to the hotel, and they will provide you with a special key to use while you’re attending Escapade, so you can access the elevators and reach the con suite. Email us at info@escapadecon.net to make arrangements.


Here are some other things you can do now to prepare for Escapade:



  • Register for the con! Did you know there are still open spots for full weekend or single day memberships? There are!  Not 100% sure you ever actually registered for the con?  Want to make sure your friends are attending?  Please take a moment to review the membership list on the Escapade website to confirm that your own membership is current, and please reach out to your friends if you don’t see them on the list! Use the following links to check registration status for you and your friends, and to register for the con:


List of Members

 


Register for Escapade

 



  • Contribute to the Escapade Art Show! If you have considered bringing art to display or sell at the art show, it’s not too late. If you know you plan to bring art for the show, please register your art ahead of time.  This helps save time for art show staff and volunteers at the con and is much appreciated.  Details about the art show and the link to register your art can be found here:


The Escapade Art Show

 



  • Sign up for DIY panel slots! The panel schedule has been created based on the votes of the membership, but there are still slots in the schedule for you to revive panels that didn’t make the cut or create new panels that weren’t submitted to the original ballot. Panel slots are assigned on a first come, first served basis, including any slots remaining once the convention is underway. Your panel information must be received by Friday 2/15 to be included in the Escapade program book. Review the panel schedule and follow the instructions on the Escapade panel page now to get your pick of the available slots:


Schedule

 



  • Consider volunteering during the con! Escapade is grateful for the enthusiastic assistance of our volunteers throughout each convention. We literally could not do it without you. Please review the Escapade schedule and consider signing up for some volunteer shifts. Visit the volunteer page for more info about volunteering:


Volunteer at the Con

Escapade 29 schedule is posted and DIY panel signups are open!

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.

Thinking of bringing food to share in the con suite?

The con suite is a great place to relax with friends, sit and chat and grab a snack.  We love it when people bring food to share, but we must be aware of food safety.  If you plan to bring home-made food to share in the con suite, please let us know at info@escapadecon.net and we’ll work out the details.

The Escapade Raffle and Swap Table

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 Escapade Volunteer Program

Every year at Escapade we are so grateful for our volunteers. The truth is that it is our volunteers who help us keep the con running, and help us keep our sanity during the busy con weekend.


One great place to volunteer at Escapade is the con suite. We aim to have a con suite that is welcoming and a place fans want to gather and spend some time. Con suite volunteers help us with registration, food prep, running errands, the zine library, and most importantly making the space fun and welcoming to everyone. Volunteers have also served as door guards or assisted with setting up panel rooms, and information about these kinds of opportunities will be available in the con suite if needed.


If you are new to Escapade, volunteering at the con is a great way to meet people.  If you are a repeat attendee, we know that new fans really appreciate having someone in the con suite to help guide them to the best the con has to offer.


Last year we introduced the option to live-tweet or live-blog Escapade panels as a volunteer opportunity, and that option is available again this year. Help share the experience of an Escapade panel with friends who can’t attend the con, and showcase the clever, funny, and intriguing ideas that make Escapade panels so much fun.


Also, in appreciation of the volunteers who are so vital to the con, if you volunteer for five or more hours you will be automatically registered for next year’s convention, and receive a $10 credit!


If you want to volunteer or have any questions about volunteering you can email us at volunteer@escapadecon.net.  You can also sign up for volunteer slots in the con suite at the convention.

The Escapade Panel Cut and Call for Additional Moderators

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.

Escapade Opening Night: the Friday night dance party!

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!

Introducing: FanFair 2019!

New for Escapade 2019, an experiment! Do you have crafts that you’d like to share with convention goers but don’t want to commit to missing out on the convention to sit in the dealer room? Do you find yourself at a loss for something to do before the con starts on Friday? I have a small scale solution to these dilemmas. Announcing the first (but we hope not last) Fan Fair! Fanfare? Fair Fans?  FanFair!!


NakedBee has kindly offered the art room for this experiment. Since it’s the first year there will be no per table charge, so you’ve got nothing to lose. Set up will be Friday morning 8-8:30am, and the fair will run until 12pm, at which time we need to have the art room cleared of everything.


So bring your stuff and show it off. It does not have to be fannish. Any interest contact me at barbanabarbana@gmail.com and I’ll start making a list. If it’s a lot of you, we may have to go to 1/2 tables; I’ll be keeping you in the loop.


–Barbana

Escapade 2019 Vid Show - Call for Vids and Vid Show Volunteers

Did you know that Escapade has a vid show? Trick question! Everyone knows that Escapade has a vid show!


We want  everyone including festivids participants (https://festivids.dreamwidth.org/ )to be able to submit their vids to the Escapade vid show. The deadline for vid upload is February 3, 2019 at midnight PST.


Please consider sending your new (or nearly new) vids to be included in the show.  Slashy or shippy vids especially welcome! They will make many fans happy.


We love it when vidders attend Escapade so that we can meet you and you can see your vids on the big screen (and bask in the applause). If you can’t make it to the convention, we will acknowledge you at the start of the show, then send you a copy of the convention DVD to watch in the quiet of your own home.


We are also looking for some additional onsite help with the vid show this year.  We need tech-savvy volunteers to help with onsite setup and operation of the vid show equipment.  Please email info@escapadecon.net if you’re interested!


More information on the vid show and submission instructions can be found here:


Vid Show


You can also email your questions to vids@escapadecon.net.


You can still register for the convention here:


Register for Escapade


And we also have a scholarship for a vidder to attend Escapade! Details here:

Introducing: the Escapade Art Show!

Did you know that Escapade has an Art Show?  Well, we do, and every year we are amazed by the array of unique art representing many different fannish loves.  We set aside a room at the convention on Friday and Saturday to display and admire fanworks brought by the amazing talented and endlessly creative members of the Escapade community.  We welcome all kinds of fan art: drawings, paintings, jewelry, photos, prints, crafts, and works that defy description!


On Sunday morning of the convention, art that has been marked as “for sale” and that has received at least three bids from interested buyers will be auctioned off.  Our amazing auctioneer Shoshanna always puts on a fabulous and entertaining show, enjoyed both by serious art collectors and those who are just in it for the eye candy!


If you are a fanartist (or are willing to pretend to be one), please consider submitting a few pieces to the show!  The more variety, the better!


Find more information on the Escapade website:


The Escapade Art Show



 


Naked Bee got her start by volunteering for the Escapade Art Show in 2008, and has been coordinating the show since 2014.  You can ask her questions before the convention at artshow@escapadecon.net.  During the convention, head to the Art Show Room during the hours listed in the program and either Naked Bee or the Art Show Staff will be able to help.


In the meantime, check out a selection of art from previous years at the Virtual Art Show:

How does this work, you ask?  Easy!


First, log in to your account on the Escapade website, then go to the Panel Ballot page, which can be reached from:


1) button on the home page,


2) button on the Panels page

Then, once you’re there, follow the instructions on the page to tell us which conversations you’d like to see on the schedule!  You can also volunteer to moderate panels when you vote, and remember: panels with moderators are more likely to make the final cut.
