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:

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!

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.
