Escapadeis a pan-fandom slash convention, held in Ventura, California every February. I went for the first time last year and it was fabulous! It's a small con, less than 200 people, very relaxed and all slash, all the time! One of my favorite things about my weekend there was connecting with fannish history. This is Escapade's 22nd year of being run by the same group. In the vidding history presentation, I watched fanvids older than I am. I was one of the youngest people in attendance. And that's why I want you to come with me! Even if you aren't a younger fan. If anyone sees this in the next 8 hours and wants to register with me, we can both get memberships for $100 each if you've never been before. I'm also up for sharing a hotel room.
