Fannish 50 Challenge 2024: Post # 20: At the Escapade Con That I Missed

I have a long history with attending Escapade in California, the world's longest-running slashcon. Sadly, I missed Escapade's 34th year earlier this month, but thanks to being informed by [personal profile] devilc, I know that I was well-remembered. My absolute dedication to dSC6D fandom is well-known and I am both appreciated and feared as a relentless bidder at Escapade's annual auction -- fen know that if I want an auction item enough I will not be outbid. So what [personal profile] devilc told me is that at the auction the auctioneer said "The best way to participate in this year's auction is to pretend that you are [personal profile] ride_4ever and we just brought Paul Gross on stage to auction him off...." And then [personal profile] devilc said that I was also mentioned again when vidders put up vids for auction (I previously made Escapade auction history with my four-digit winning bids on vids by [personal profile] luminosity).

Alas Con.TXT

Alas, the lovely Pentagon City Residence Hotel in Arlington, VA will be closed permanently in September due to Covid-19 financial complications. What does this have to do with fandom, you may ask. This hotel has been the Con.TXT con hotel for several years. Con.TXT 2020 was cancelled due to Covid-19 and rescheduled to 2021 -- with the closing of the hotel that was already set to be the July 2021 Con.TXT location, Con.TXT 2021 has now also been cancelled.

(And btw, this was one of my favorite con hotels.)

Con*Strict et al

Here I am, about to leave for my fourth fancon of the year, and I haven't blogged any comments about the other three yet. *con reportage fail*

Leaving in three days for the Con*Strict slash con in Nevada (and it's only the love of fandom that could get me to go to a desert in the summer).

Feb-March-April fannish IRL

In February I set up a get-together for myself, [personal profile] verushka70, and [personal profile] aukestrel in Chicago. In March I am going to Escapade in California. In April I'm going back to California for TGIF/F. Oh fandom!

Special note to dS fen: I'm co-modding the dS panel at Escapade, and the con comm randomly scheduled it for THE ELEVENTH OF MARCH ! ("My God, Ray, what are the odds?") We will def have to recite Buck Frobisher's "Eleventh of March Speech" at the panel!
