Hotel Details

It’s almost time for the convention. Can you believe it? Here are a few last-minute details about the hotel that you may want to know.

  1. Remember that parking is FREE for Escapade members if you park in the city structure next to the hotel. If you park in the hotel lot, they’ll charge you the daily rate. You need to bring your parking ticket to the front desk, and they’ll validate it each day.
  2. We have also negotiated FREE wireless Internet for our members. When you check into the hotel, they’ll give you a code to to access the ‘net.
  3. Sadly, the hotel still doesn’t have a hot tub (we do ask every year). But the swimming pool is heated to 80 degrees (which is a lot warmer than the ocean). The weather doesn’t look promising at this time, but we live in hope.
  4. The hotel bar has happy hour weeknights from 4-7 pm. Well drinks & house wine are $4, awesome appetizers are $5.
  5. The hotel restaurant has a great 3-course dinner special for $19, available 4:30-7 PM daily.

See you soon!

The Panel Cut

Below is the list of panels that will probably (unless we change our minds, or lose some panelists) be on the Escapade final schedule. You may notice that some have changed from their original description here. To try and spice things up (and get more panels on the schedule) we have combined several that we thought were either duplicates, or that would make for good controversy. If you volunteered to lead a panel, you should have received an email by now, with instructions. Please follow them. 🙂

In Memoriam (via postie)

So it’s Escapade 20 this year. After 20 years, part of the con’s focus is about where we’ve been and who’s been there with us. We also have an opportunity to remember the people who’ve walked part of our lives with us, and gone on ahead.

Whether you¹re coming to the convention or not, if you have a friend in the fan community or know of someone who has passed away, please drop us an email (info@escapadecon.net) and, if you have a great photo of them, or a story that should not be forgotten, please attach it. Or bring a copy to the convention and pass it on to Misti or the staff in the convention suite. At some appropriate point during the weekend, we’ll share the photos and the names so that all of us can remember.

We want to remember everyone, and there is no way we’ll avoid missing someone without your help. So please, think for a minute about Lily Fulford and Joan Martin, Bill Hupe and Minotaur. And add the names of people you want to remember with us to the list.

Thank you.

Christine and Jennifer and the Escapade Team
