Hello folks,
Escapade 33 may be over but Escapade 34 has kind-of begun early. To keep the collaborative energy of Escapade alive all year, we’re keeping in touch and creating gatherings for our crowd wherever fandom may take us.
Here are the various Escapade-hosted events coming up.
First up:
Wednesday, March 22 – We will close the Escapade 33 Discord server and leave invitation links to allow people to join the Escapade Year-round server. Expect it to start in the evening. We’ll be happy to walk you through joining the Year Round Discord if you need help.
Second thing:
For all the long-time fans and friends of Escapade, we have a few streaming events that are regularly advertised in our Escapade Year Round server. If you would like assistance with getting set up to attend any of these events, please reach out to info@escapadecon.net with a few days advance notice and someone will reach out to help you.
Tuesday nights at 6 PM Pacific, a group of Due South fans run a weekly stream with a new episode. If you have ever been interested in dipping your toes into Due South, this is a great way to do it. It runs every week at 6 PM Pacific.

If you are interested in organizing a fandom event for Escapade such as a book club for book fandoms, a stream for movie fandoms, a workshop for vid making, etc, etc, please reach out and we will share your event information with other Escapade folks. Are you interested in doing something but aren’t sure how to get started? Email us at info@escapadecon.net and one of our volunteers will reach out to help.
Anyone and everyone is welcome to the events so please feel free to invite friends.
One more thing:
We also want to spotlight the amazing fanworks that our community creates. We’d like to start including links to fanworks and major community events as part of our way to showcase people’s talents and fannish contributions. If you would like us to share links of fanworks or fanevents under your fannish name, please reach out to us at info@escapadecon.net and tell us what you would like for us to rec and share and which username to use.
Thank you for being a part of Escapade and keeping the spirit of the con alive. Hope to hear from you soon.
