Convergence 7, New York City
Mistress McCutchan
Right now
in light of everything happening in the world, talking about Convergence seems... petty and small. Yet I figured the pictures collected were “better late than never”.
The fun, the drama the mudslinging. I think that may be an appropriate subtitle for the event that was Convergence 7 in New York City. Did unsuspecting gothlings know what they were coming to? Did any of the locals even go?
Unfortunately, Morbid Outlook was not in attendance. Boycotting Cliff? Making a statement by our absence? No, nothing really like that... considering the unemployment rate in New York and how crappy the economy is going, a lot of folks I know simply could not afford the $80 ticket. I personally would have loved to have seen the vendors’ wares and Coil, but I was in the process of moving out of my Lower East Side apartment that weekend (illegally forced out by a slumlord!) I DJed a bit at Limelight on the Friday night of Convergence weekend (a non-Convergence event) and that was that. But you know what? Life goes on, and the pictures document all the lovelies that braved it.

I have yet to go to a Convergence.
My vote for next year goes to Montreal.
