Escapade is a part of University of Michigan’s welcome week event, and I’ve been participating in it every year since Freshmen year! It’s a HUGE night of games, arts, performances, freebies & prizes and hang out with friends =)

Outside the Michigan Union!

Volunteers getting ready at the Prize booth! We had signed posters from Music Fest the previous year, all kind of t-shirts, movie + dinner coupons, CDs, tote bags and more!

Ridiculously crowded steps of the Michigan Union – the crowd started rolling in 1hr before Escapade officially started!

My friends Glendale & Kit in front of the Escapade- Artscapade registration tent~

The girls!

At the “Literary” booth, we are suppose to make a 3line poem with magnetic words…..... this was the most classic poem on the board ^^ Embodies the good ol’ American college lifestyle

THEATRE booth! we took 5min to come up with a “plot”, where I was the Magician that attempts to steal the mask off Judy, with Glendale’s magic wand, but Kit stepped in and stopped me with her magical fan….......... yea, that took us 2min to re-enact

The crowd picking up as the night falls…..

Panda Express (Chinese fast food) on campus opened up a new store at the basement of Michigan Union – and there was a giant white panda on the loose!!

Time for some air tattoos! I looooooooooooove welcome week – so much freebies & games everywhere!

We even got to make some really cool, waxed hand sculptures! First, you dip your hand in ice cold water, then dip it into the boiling tank of melted wax (ok, not exactly boiling…) , after a few layers you get a perfect hand sculpture!

Judy & I with our hand sculptures – it’s the US sign language for “I Love You”

Glendale & Rick attempted to make a “joint” hand sculpture with a heart shape – with all the passing students going “awwwwwwww!!”

Can’t have a carnival without a clown!! Annnnnnnd she was the sweetest clown I’ve ever met – a grandma of 6 grandcrhilder gasps and she didn’t look her age at all!!

We had some ridiculous balloons~

So, TCF bank at downtown Ann Arbor has one of the craziest machine imaginable – a money grabber! It’s a phone-booth like machine with transparent walls, and you will get 10secs to grab as much money as you can! The machine shuts tight and fans will blow cash all around the machine!
