Proposed Schedule

Our committee will strive to balance social and entertainment needs so that you get the greatest value. There is no shortage of options for sightseeing on your own, but we will organize several daytime outings to DC landmarks/museums (for example, the nearby National Mall, or slightly further destinations such as the National Cathedral, Rock Creek Cemetery, etc.) which you can either join with a group of friends or use the opportunity to meet new people. The Goth Bazaar and Fashion Show will feature sellers/designers and vendors from around the country while also introducing you to some of our best locals. Day badges will be available, and the bazaar will be open to the public, but this will not be a mass marketed event to the local scene, in deference to the 20 years of loyal C*attendees.
