I live in Portland and was excited when we were chosen to host C13 (which would have been my first) but as things progressed it turned into something that wasn't what my friends that had gone in the past had described to me, so I didn't purchase a laminate and don't plan to. I have had friends that are on some of the sub comittes try to get me laminates and I have still turned them down. As for the stupid looking pony falls, goggles and horrible EBM.. well, I don't go out much anymore excpet for one night a month when they actually play "goth" music (which of course isn't happening this onth because that club decided they needed to make the stupid rivet heads even happier by hosting a "skinny puppy after party" instead). I wish I could just box all these ridiculous people up in a box (in little pieces of course) and ship them off to WGT where they belong

i haven't been to a convergence yet either, which is kinda shocking because i've been to everything else and i'm always travelling. my plan is to go to the tampa show next year, since i live in florida. hopefully all the kinks will get worked out by then! maybe we can meet up there? i hear portland is a lovely city.
I'm planning on going to Ybor as well since that seems to be sounding like it's going to be a great time to actually go to a real C*. I have been trying to get to one as well for years and finances and other things have always prevented it, and this year..even though it is here I chose not to go because of all the crap (will be doing "non official" events though). Portland is gorgeous, I was born here but have lived everywhere from Fairbanks AK to Austin TX during mylife and I always end up back here. I am hoping like mad that it doesn't rain next weekend (it likes to do that here, especially when there are fun things going on).
it's been a topic in gothicroyalty as of late. are you part of that community? itf not, you should be. a friends and i are considering starting an old school night in the orlando area. we'll have to dj and everything else. it's really a shame the way the scene has shifted. time to take it back.
Yes the fashion show was to do with them only giving a tiny spot to it and messing all the designers about something chronic...them not being able to use thier own models, being given only room for 3 outfits, then saying they were changing it again and again...
So some decided to do an outdoor own, using thier own models and showing as much as they like.
That's just awful. i've been reading much of it, and it's disgusting. next year will be in tampa and we can olny hope it will be better. glad to hear that the designers aren't putting up with it.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks that about clubs in general...

From what I've hear C13 is a complete nightmare.
