The C16 Utah Committee is led by [[User:Madelyn | Madelyn Boudreaux]] and Paul "[[User:Wookie | Wookie]]" Lohrenz. Both have been in the goth scene for ages, and you've met them or at least seen one or both of them at [[C5]], [[C6]], [[C7]], [[C9]], [[C10]], [[C12]], and [[C14]]. Madelyn has run the roll call since C5, and is on the [[C15]] committee as Volunteer Coordinator.

Several other members of SLC's net.goth / [[Convergence]] attending population have agreed to handle various duties. We will likely follow the recent trends and involve long-time Convergence attendees and planners from elsewhere as needed.

Like [[C15 | Long Beach]] and [[C14 | Tampa]] before, our focus will be on the people -- YOU -- who make [[Convergence]] what it is. A "gothapalooza" this will not be! You'll be coming here to revel in the company of your net.goth friends (including the ones you don't know yet) and to enjoy exploring a place many only see once a year on the Independent Film Channel.

Park City grew up as a Silver Mining town in the days of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, but by the Great Depression, it had fallen into official "Ghost Town" status. Until the 1980s, only a handful of people called in home. Until one Mr. Robert Redford, knowing a good thing when he sees it, decided it would be the right place to make his stand as only the Sundance Kid could: by starting an international independent film festival. These days, the festival draws the likes of Paris and her latest BFF, and is anything but small, but the independent spirit pervades.

Park City itself has stayed true to its roots in many ways, and has preserved its old Main street beautifully. The shops themselves no longer sell flour or spurs, but an endless supply of alpine gear, art, photography, and clothing from fancy to just plain weird. Window shopping is great fun here, although we will be the first to admit that you're not going to be shopping for Lip Service stuff. However, if a pair of freak-friendly cowboy boots or a movie-starlet's parka in on your list, you just might find it here!

Q. Why is it "Utah" and not "Salt Lake City"?
Q. Why is it "Utah" and not "Salt Lake City"?
A. Although the committee is located in SLC, and you'll go through it to get to C16, in fact, the event itself will take place entirely in Park City. Therefore, it's not really C16 SLC. Don't get us wrong; we love Salt Lake City! It's a great city. We just thought we'd try something different, and Park City's unique offerings will allow us to do more and make the event really special.

Q. What about Private Clubs?
Q. What about Private Clubs?
A. The Private Club rule is often misunderstood. It works basically like paying a cover at the door in most cases, so when you pay for a ticket to a show, that includes the temporary membership. In other cases, one person with a membership can 'sponsor' other people. For our venues, we will either have enough membership holders at the event to sponsor every attendee, or we will have worked out the necessary membership requirements ahead of time. There is also some chance that the "private club" requirement will be lifted by 2010.
