Bacchanalian Delights!

Another informal outing will be to the Two James Distillery. This is the oldest distillery in Detroit and dates to the end of prohibition. The Two James prides its-self on it’s crafted spirits, offers tours of its historic facility, and has a tasting room where guests can sample their crafted spirits. This includes Nain Rouge Absinthe Verte, this distillery’s very own brand of the Green Fairy for your enjoyment!

In addition to the dark attractions, Detroit also has many amenities that appeal to tourists of every kind. These include fine dinning restaurants, that would make for excellent Corp-Goth dinner outings. The Detroit Art Museum, Museum of Science, and Historical Museum are all very popular.

A complete list of shopping attractions, restaurants and other touristy places will be made available to attendees.

Wait what??? Children’s activities at Convergence? That’s right. Many of us Elder Goths have kids of our own, and we know how hard it is to do Goth stuff when you can’t bring the family. For this reason, we will have a staffed room at the hotel dedicated to fun stuff for the little ones. While this will not be a round the clock baby sitting service, it will offer designated times where the kids can come and be supervised as they watch movies, work on crafty things, or read and be read to. This, and the other activities for children, will not only allow parents some time to do adult stuff, but will also let the young ones make new friends, and take home some good memories.

This mind blowing spectacular showcases the jaw dropping talents of five of the most incredible illusionists on earth.
THE ILLUSIONISTS – Live From Broadway has shattered box office records across the globe and dazzles audiences
of all ages with a powerful mix of the most outrageous and astonishing acts ever to be seen on stage.
This non-stop show is packed with thrilling and sophisticated magic of unprecedented proportions.

Audiences will witness stunning acts of grand illusion, levitation, mind-reading, disappearance and for the first time
ever in history, a full view water torture escape. This group of world-class performers take their cue from the showmanship
of the great illusionists of the past - such as Harry Houdini – and pair it with a new and updated contemporary aesthetic,
whose set and costume design lend the genre a theatricality and artistry that has rarely been seen before.
Collectively, these performers have been seen by millions of people around the world and this production showcases
their incredible talents together on stage for the very first time.
