Gothic Events?

If anyone has the sources... it may be a great idea to list whatever 2009 Gothic Events going on in the December newsletter.
However, I was thinking more immediate.

I'm aware of the 2008 Annual Gothic Cruise (which took place last week if I remember correctly) so I'm sure that'll happen in 2009. There's a Gothic Ball this Friday...
Other than that, I find myself extremely out of the loop for various events occuring within the US (and, for our lovely international members... the UK... and elsewhere but... seems the US & UK are the majority - no offense.)

So...
If anyone knows of anything going on that could be considered a "gothic event" I'm hoping it'll be posted within this thread... or maybe a stickie could be made?

Really wanted to go to the ball... and had I known about it sooner I probably would have went... hopefully this/a thread will prevent that for myself and others from missing such awesome things.

So glad this topic actually worked out...

Anyways, I did stumble across this event. Apparently this group of Anne Rice/Lestat fans or something puts on a Ball around Halloween.

Last Year:



This (2009) Year it's the "Blood and Gold Ball" in celebration of Armand, Marius, and Pandora. Pandora

More importantly, the thing we ran out of time to do on Friday night was announce to you the theme for next year's Ball. Sorry about that...you know how a live event can be. lol. Next year the 2009 ARVLFC Coven Ball theme will be The Blood and Gold Ball in honor of Marius, Armand, and Pandora! So, next year you are invited to spend a Devil's Night with us in the true style of a Venetian Ball! Start your sewing machines!

Based on the various pictures, it looks like an amazing time - lots of good people and fun for all. I am 100% definitely going in 2009 and hope to see y'all there as well.

I believe that this event is fairly well-known in the Northeast, but I figure I'll post it anyways...


BlackSun Festival
It is to be held sometime in March 2009, in New Haven, Connecticut.

In the past they've always seemed to have really good artists playing the festival. In the past they've had Voltaire, Black Tape For a Blue Girl, The Birthday Massacre, and a lot of other really awesome musicians. I hope that it is just as good next year!!!

WGW weekends. April and October!

Whitby, UK

Shoot, I seriously wish I lived in Portland. That one of my life's goals.

For anyone who is going to be in the socal area, In tijuana,Mexico Amduscia will be playing december 6,2008 at the younite lounge.

^^ That sounds pretty cool. I just emailed my friend about it, maybe I could drag her to this. Philly really isn't all that far from me.

Oh how I'd LOVE to attend this...

I'm gonna be there.

Be sure to tell us all about it, Spooky.

Philly... grrr... I miss living in the Northeast. :/ (Well, I miss it 3/4 of the year.)

tell us about it spooky!!!! If it's going on again next year I am so going! it's only like a 7 hour drive, and I'm going to have to head down to VA anyway...I'll just leave early

^^Tell me about something in michigan I don't think I have ever in my life been to a goth event. I'm not sure if it is because I don't know where to look or if I'm just not cool enough to be int he loop.

Ooh! Renn fair in Connecticut. I think I can do that! If I can convince my hubby to drive me. It's not too far. About an hour and a half away. It takes me the same amount of time to get to work every day. Ha!

^^Lol if the renaissance festival counts as a goth event then I have gone to one goth event every year of my life. I'm addicted to that festival. I'm even planning a special trip back home for it since the opening weekend here is on my move in date for my appartment.

Ooh, that CT Ren Faire does sound like fun.

Convergence 2013- AUSTIN.

I think this event may be controversial/undesirable to some in this group, but this spring it's being held in my hometown which means that my club-buddies and tertiary friends are planning a week of after-parties and shenanigans! Naturally, I'll be indulging as well. I'm afraid my couch was claimed as soon as the location was announced, but if you're coming to town and want a native Austinite to guide you to the cool shops, bats, fried avocado tacos, civil war cemeteries, and cheap margaritas, hit me up! We'll have a blast, and maybe I can try to find you a place to crash as well!

I am proud to say that Nebraska has now 3 gothic events.....that I know of. One is every month, one is seasonal, and one annual.
