C2

Boston, August 9-11 1996

The Bids

Details are sketchy. Hopefully one day silentq or Siobhan will tell the full story of C2 - Toronto.

The location of Convergence 2 was announced. No vote or other discussion took place.

The first announcement was by retardboy for it to be in Toronto, ON in April, 1996, however he couldn't organise a piss up in a bar so if it had not been for Cusraque that could have been it for Convergence.

Fortunately, Cusraque asked / announced his intent to hold another Convergence - originally intended to be Convergence III in August 1996 and the consensus on the group was that this was a good thing.

The consensus amongst the Toronto net.goths ( Siani Evans, Yvonne McLoughlin to name but two) on the newsgroups was that the Toronto plan wasn't going to happen - more by their silence than active statements.

Net result - Convergence 2 went to Cusraque in Boston by fiat.

The Voting

No such thing. Nada. Nobody got a choice and, AFAIK, no one complained.

Cusraque knew what he was doing and he was trusted to do it.

The Committee

Cusraque, all on his own.

The Drama

Mathias complained about Cusraque's inimitable posting style. Lady B and Twilight bitchslapped him for complaining. The end.
