Wheel
Chair Goths
We are aware of past concerns over wheelchair accessibility and
are mindful of this as we select venues/hotels and event locations.
The venue that we are considering has had "wheel chair goths"
attend shows in the past and the staff of the Metro has made every
effort to accommodate these patrons.
Parent
Goths
In the past, many potential attendees have had to forsake
their Convergence plans due to family concerns. We hope to help
alleviate this by suggesting alternate hotel accommodation with
in house childcare services, in addition to offering suggestions
for agencies that provide hotel-site child care, such as North
Shore Nannies. Depending on the response, we would also like
to have an alt.gothic.parenting outing, maybe a field trip to
the Lincoln Park Zoo, which
is very close to the hotels we're looking at, or possibly The
Chicago
Children's Museum.

21 Goths
All
of the official events that we are proposing are at least 18+
events. All of the proposed daytime activities are all ages. The
Cabaret Metro is a bonafide 18+ venue with a late cabaret license.
We've held many successful 18+ and all ages events in the past
at the Cabaret Metro, and have a long established relationship
with the owner
Veggie/Vegan

No need to snack on bread and salads all weekend. The

Pride
Goths
The
Belmont/Clark vicinity is also home to the Gay & Lesbian community
which is a friendly neighborhood where freedom of expression reigns
and where all can feel comfortable. Browse the shops up and down
Broadway or Halsted and enjoy the atmosphere of this little community.
The Gay &
Lesbians Chamber of Commerce is a good starting point for
information about Chicago's gay & lesbian community.

travel and local customs that only a properly transplanted UK

watch your favourite football team. In addition, Erica our Goth
travel agent will assist in helping you find thrifty ways to extend
your holiday. We're really going to try our best to get you guys
