Escapade Panels and Question

[lovesrain44]

So I don't know how many people on my flist are going to Escapade....but I thought I'd list the panels I'll be moderating, and I also have a question for any Numb3rs fans out there.

The panals sound great. Where is Escapade being held?

[lovesrain44]

They are fun, tons of fun. Escapade is this convention held on the beach in California, and I do mean on the beach. This is its 20th year. It's slash based, but there are gen and meta and tech panels, and everyone's cool with what each other is interested or not interested in.

Here's a link to hotel info. No lie, that's the view from every single room. They designed all the rooms to be facing the beach. : D

I'll send you the link to the main page:

And then to the panel cut, which lists those panels that were suggested and then voted on to show enough interest:

And here's a link to all the panels that were suggested:

Man I'd like to know who suggested the Number panel too! I'd love to have beers with them as well. :) (or wine in my case) :)

Well, I'm poking around and when I find out, you will also find out, because of course! I'm just hoping it's not someone who is adverse to at least talking about Eppescest.

You'll have to give a con report- I'm not brave enough to go to Escapade.
Will they make a chart for the Sam panel, like they might have for the blame panel? We can see if people think Sam has any good qualities left- LOL.

It's INDECENT to make me laugh THAT hard so early in the morning!!!

Oh wait... it's so early I thought you said, "Will they make a chart for the Sam panel, and then, like, blame Sam for the panel?" And then my mind thought, well sure, Sam blames himself for everything else! And yes, I will have a chart, and will post the results.

You shouldn't be afraid! I think you'd have a blast. For one thing, it's the slash that is the whole deal here. Lots of pictures and art about nekked nudity. No hiding behind brown paper wrappers and that sort of thing.

[jensenrick]

Well, you know I do love my nekkid nudity. (evil grin) It's out of the picture for this year, but maybe next. I'm 99% sure this will be my last Mediawest, and I'm looking for a con to replace it. I'm 90% sure next year I'll be going to Revelcon, but I suppose I could be convinced to see Escapade.

Bascon is also supposed to be pretty good. That's held in...uh, California somewhere. The vid show is supposed to be Rocking.

And Escapade is very relaxed with lots of good discussion. Since it's a slash con, mostly, you never have to explain or apologize or defend talking about slash because Slash is the whole point!

So why no more Media West? I think I got a little weary of the vid show being posted as suited the con people - you never knew exactly when it was, due to the fact that it was posted on the wall and never in the brochure, kind of like they even considered not showing it and then, oh well, we might as well. And THEN the vid selection was so dreary to begin with, and then, slash was shown only after 11 pm, etc....
