==The Drama==

Started with the [[C4]] bid when [[Cliff]] and [[Althea]] both entered bids to host [[Convergence]] in New York City.

A massive, vitriolic and deeply personal flame war exploded over [[alt.gothic]], the likes of which hadn't been seen since... ... actually probably since [[User:TSM | TSM]] and [[User:Petro | Petro]] were slightly irritated at a newbie on a Wednesday afternoon. a.g. was a lot less tolerant in those days.

Loquacious and well written, yes. Friendly to ignorant visitors with AOL accounts, not so much.

Anyway, after the that fracas which left [[C4 | Toronto]] standing proud, [[Cliff]] vowed to return in future and conquer!

With his mighty magik and everything.

By [[C7]] he succeeded.

It was dramatic.

I didn't go. 

I gather those that did had a great time, but then we'd have a great time at a Barry Manilow Festival<ref>No, [[User:Axel  | Axel]] will not be entering a bid to put on [[Convergence]] at a Barry Manilow Festival, and neither should you.</ref>
