More on Escapade!
Charity Auction
Sunday morning at Escapade, we will be holding an auction to benefit the charity Penny Lane, a charity in Southern California that has worked with the Boston Scapers in the past, most notably for a Christmas Secret Santa fundraiser. It's been around for more than thirty years and provides a variety of services to children in need, and we're thrilled to be working with them on this! Visit their website (http://www.pennylane.org) for more information.
Among the items donated will be a handmade Farscape quilt, various autographs, and all sorts of other fun things that we'll be using to sweeten the pot as the time comes. If you have anything you'd like to donate, please contact us and let us know! (programming@escapadeboston.com)
Music Video Contest
In conjunction with our panel on how to make your own music videos, we'll be hosting a music video contest. Entries will be accepted - in any format or length - until June 1. They will be given a world premiere at the banquet on Saturday night, and voted on that same night.
The theme for the music video contest is: Farscape. Yes, we know that sounds rather absurdly vague. But we want you to vid about what makes Farscape special to you, personally. We're looking for all four seasons, all ranges of emotions, all characters, the good times, the bad times, and the muppet sex. We want it all.
If you are interested in participating in this contest, please email us (programming@escapadeboston.com) and let us know! We just ask that you hold off on posting your vid anywhere else until it has its world premiere at Escapade.
Last Chance for Raffle
This is your last chance to pre-register for the pre-registration raffle: the contest ends this Thursday, April 15. So get your ticket orders in and you might not have to pay for your ticket at all - it's that simple! Remember, pre-registration (http://www.escapadeboston.com/registration) is the way to go!
One more time, check out the website, and don't forget to sign up for our mailing list to get updates in your email inbox!

Escapade Boston 2004
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to hang out with all your Farscape friends in a cool city, chatting about the show and generally having a blast?
Well, Escapade Boston is the answer. Picking up where the Scapercon conventions left off, Escapade is a for-fans by-fans Farscape convention taking place in the great city of Boston (http://www.boston.com) this summer - June 24 - 27 to be precise.
What kinds of things have we got planned, exactly? Well, check out the programming schedule (http://www.escapadeboston.com/programming), for starters. We'll also be hosting a ScaperOpera performance - some of you will remember this from Scapercon, and it is not to be missed! The banquet on Saturday night will be followed by a Scaper trip to see a live performance of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. We'll be running a Farscape trivia contest throughout the weekend, hosting a charity auction Sunday morning, screening music videos, and we've just teamed up with New England Comics to be an exclusive vendor during a Saturday afternoon swap meet. Friday afternoon will feature a catered welcome luncheon, and Friday night we'll be either heading out to a Red Sox game or to see the award-winning performance Stomp!
And that's just the tip of the iceberg. We're going to announce something new every single week until June. And trust us - it only gets better from here.
If you pre-register (http://www.escapadeboston.com/registration) your weekend pass (and the importance of pre-registering cannot be overstated!) before April 15, you'll be entered in a raffle to win a free three-day pass. What better incentive to make your plans early?
With the announcement of the miniseries, Farscape has nowhere to go but up - help make this convention the amazing experience it could be!
