Update on the Con: As of today, we’re still planning to hold Lubricus 2020 so if you think you’d like a convention fix in October sign up via the Registration Page. Please note that you can cancel your reservation any time before September 29, 2020 per our Attendance and Cancellation Policy. We’ll of course be monitoring the global health situation and will be sending updates about the con as we get closer to the dates.

Lubricus and Current Events (Covid-19)

• Lubricus is still on: The Lubricus Con Com has discussed the current events and is monitoring the situation carefully. At this time we have no plans to cancel or postpone our October 2020 event and are monitoring the situation as it develops.

• Social Distancing: Many people are reporting positive aspects of quarantine and social distancing, even as some suffer hardships in employment and cancellations costs. But staying home can be very relaxing, and the best thing about being in a fandom is that there is a lot of amazing content out there to keep one's attention for long periods. Perhaps now is the time to re-read that epic Snarry from 2009, or to catch up on those fanvids you've been saving on your Watch Later list on Youtube. Meaning to catch up or get familiar with a new fandom via Netflix? Now is your chance.

• Self-Care: Remember self care during this time: Get out into the fresh air away from crowds. Exercise or stretch if you can. Eat fresh food wherever possible. Spring clean. Don't forget to take a break between online or TV content, or turn it right off if it's causing you anxiety. Facetime, Google chat or Zoom Cconference friends and family.

Thinking of you, and sending positive patronuses!

Lubricus Con Comm

Why Lubricus?

It’s still early in 2020 so there’s time to properly allocate your convention budget and set aside some funds for Lubricus 2020. But with so many different social media outlets for fandom and so many different conventions happening all over the world what sets Lubricus apart? Here are a few qualities about our little con that make us special…

• Lubricus is by fans for fans: The Lubricus Con Com is made up of real-life slash fans who have found themselves craving more slashy content at the mainstream HP conventions. They’ve put on two successful Harry Potter versions of Lubricus and are excited to join forces again in 2020 to host this multifandom iteration of Lubricus.




• Lubricus is affordable: We offer several different types of tickets for Lubricus 2020 with the cheapest version (Get Your Rocks Off) providing admission to all Lubricus programming, the Blue Ball, and the Morning After Breakfast for just $140. The con rate at the hotel is just $149 per night for a standard room for up to two people; the rate is an extra  $10 for a third or fourth person in a room. And on top of that, Portland doesn’t have sales tax!




• Lubricus is intimate and friendly: The previous Lubricus conventions had under 100 attendees each, which provides enough people to have a good time, but not so many that introverts end up feeling completely overwhelmed and end up hiding in their hotel rooms. Many people attending Lubricus have known each other for years, but we’ve always welcomed new faces at cons. If you like slash, we like you.




• Lubricus has a Common Room: Inspired by the lounge spaces at Hogwarts, Lubricus provides a chill hang out space for congoers to chat, drabble, craft, and just hang out. We decorate the space to be cozy and fannish so that it can be both energizing and relaxing at the same time.




• Lubricus has a Blue Ball: The Blue Balls' of previous cons have been a night for congoers to dress up, dress down, dance, eat, enjoy vids and fannish company during an evening of supreme fun. And we always have themed drinks! This year's Blue Ball will be no different and if you need an extra excuse to dress up, it takes place on Halloween.

There are many more reasons to include Lubricus in your 2020 con planning. Check out our web site to learn more.

Those Who Do Not Remember the Past Are Condemned to Repeat It.

Looking back on our fannish days, when we were all more or less sharing the same spaces and communities, the thing we remember the most is the mockery making friends.

NEVER FORGET the friends made in solidarity through fandoms. NEVER.

We sincerely miss you all.
