Frank Schmidt Frank is originally from - er - Cleveland, but has lived in New Orleans for the last eighteen years. He was a member of the Convergence 12 committee and has attended fourteen C*s so far. For the past ten years, he has been DJing in and around New Orleans and is one of the founders of Shadow Gallery, a more or less monthly club night since 2006. He is fond of both the Dark and Stormy and the Mojito. He was a scavenger hunt winner at C4, played the Cantina Band song on a kazoo from the main stage by particular invitation at C11, and DJed at C20. You can blame him for the nostalgic, 1992-era experience of viewing this page.
