OFFICIAL TRANSPORTATION:

The Convergence 10 committee is pleased to announce that decorated "Goth Buses" will be available for point to point transportation between the main hotel and the venue (Metro) for all evening events. Three buses with a rider capacity of over 400 people/hour will be on hand for convenient transportation. The five mile ride along scenic Lake Shore Drive takes approximately 10-15 minutes.

The buses will be operating on a fixed schedule, which will be posted on the C10 website and printed in the booklet, minimizing wait times.

Pick up/drop off at the Hotel will be right outside the Hospitality Room window. Pick up/drop off at Metro will be in directly in front of the building.

Convergence 10 attendees have the option of purchasing an entire weekend pass for unlimited rides on the Goth Bus for $10.00, or one can buy "pay as you go" tokens for $2/ride. The passes and tokens will be available at the Meet and Greet on Friday and at the C10 stall at the vendors bazaar on both Saturday and Sunday.

NON-SMOKING:

During C10 weekend, one half of the balcony at Metro will be designated non-smoking. Obviously, smoke can travel up there from other parts of the venue, but smoking will not be allowed in that one section.
