Welcome to Escapade!

We are a group of fans from diverse backgrounds who have banded together to put on a weekend-long, LGBTQ+ and BIPOC friendly convention held in the beginning of the year in Southern California. For the past 30+ years, we have been known for having fun - so much so, we get called the Slash Slumber Party! There's a vidshow, meet ups, dance party, panels, and so much more! We’re here to hang out, talk, pimp our favorite sources/pairings/groups, talk, watch stuff together, talk, share fanworks, talk, watch vids, talk… You get the picture. :)Ever since the pandemic, we've held an online version of the convention for anyone who can't make it to the in-person convention (or just want more Escapade). Usually the online con takes place about 6 months after the in-person version. (Hey, sometimes we need a break too!)Not only do we host awesomely fun conventions, but we offer scholarships to assist fans who might not otherwise be able to attend. Can't afford a flight and hotel? Let us know, and we'll do our best to help. Need ADA considerations? Let us know, and we'll arrange for them. We want to make Escapade accessible to as many people as possible.Follow us on our socials, or click on the penguins for more info! Got specific questions? Want to talk to a human? Feel free to email us, and one of our con staff will help you out.
