Somewhere during our traditional “lag about ramp-up and finalization of schedule” process, we got sick. I mean, *really sick*. Going to the doctors sick. Calling in sick to work and wanting to die sick.
We are getting well now, and we ask only for your compassion and support as we run a few days later than is usual for us.
Also, because our attendance is smaller (*damn you, recession!*) we are taking this wonderful opportunity to offer you “ESCAPADE: THE BOUTIQUE CONVENTION.” Our intent is to really enjoy this opportunity to spend more quality time with more people, to remember what Escapade has always intended to be about: community, brilliance in our community, laughter in our community (and hotsex and food).
The list of panels is below the cut. We really look forward to seeing you, enjoying panels, eating food, and talking hotsex.

I did a bad, rushed typing job when I originally submitted the idea.
