everything is better than DashCon

Is it really that time of year again? Yes, it is me, back again to try and wrangle more people to come to our thing. So what is Escapism? Well, it's where a bunch of nerdy-ass nerds get together for a weekend and do nerdy stuff (and also some not nerdy stuff). Honestly, I really don't feel like...

Hi guys, it's that annoying girl again to talk to y'all about Escapism UK... again. So, voting has taken place and this year we will be invading Manchester (surprise!) for a weekend of nerdy shenanigans. It was a very close race, with the winner taking the lead by just a single first...

Sheffield has been looked at, even visited for mini-meetups (birthdays, Halloween, etc.) but when we last took it into consideration, there were very few options for accommodation for a group of our size. Multiple hotel rooms are an option, but we try and keep it as affordable as possible and...

We have considered York in the past, there's plenty to do around there (I'm a local, or I was until I started uni) but lack of affordable hostels/hotels makes it quite difficult. We've also played with the idea of a coastal town, again, affordable sleeping space is difficult to come across at...

Hey look, it's that annoying girl reminding you of an event you keep saying you'd love to go to but never actually do! that's right, it's This summer, July 7th til July 9th, a bunch of nerds will descend upon some poor, unsuspecting city for an entire weekend (more about what we get up to...

The plan is to have a single account that multiple Escapees can access, we'll probably limit it to about 3 to begin with and if other people stream then we will host their channels, if it's a success, or we find an easier way of doing things, we'll change it up as we go along.

The next event takes place next summer, 6th-8th of July, we'll be taking host cities into consideration in the new year.

Greetings! As many of you might be aware there is a small community of this website's users (and ex-users) that meet up twice a year to engage in a number of shenanigans. Starting humbly in 2009, the event known as Escapism UK has grown an extraordinary amount, from a handful of people, we...

Well, my last post that wasn't a response to one of the Escapism UK threads was over three and a half years ago. I can pin it to changing interests and finding different platforms to chat with friends I had made; I would occasionally check out the forums and nope the heck out for various...

Yeah, though it's a question of going back to red or purple this time. Would go teal like I wanted to but stripping the dye from my hair, bleaching it and dying again would damage it so much. *innocent whistling*

I'm gonna go back to Beamish and steal that Authentic 1940s Hat from the Authentic 1940s Farm. Also I think it might be time to re-dye my hair, it's looking more pink than red...

This seems to run very closely to the line of society teaching us "Don't get raped" rather than "Don't rape" And it doesn't matter if the attack committed by someone the girl knows or by a stranger, it's an opportunistic, generally unprovoked attack to instil a sense of control for the...

I was watching a news segment one morning and there was this kid they were interviewing, I think he was trying to say "definitely" .. He pronounced it "deff-int-lee" Then one time I was at working, I was filling up the bakery tables in the bread section and two young couples (early twenties)...

Most of my friends are male. I've never been attracted to them at any point so I've never asked them out and been rejected. I do believe the mystical "friendzone" is something a person puts themselves in to. If a girl just wants to be friends, be friends, be happy and stop bitching about it, or...
