iluminaria is from sunny southern California and sometimes feels like a walking contradiction...on weekends, she's out having good craic (that's a good time) at clubs and shows; during the week, she's teaching fourth grade at a public school. It's an interesting mix. il also loves people, enjoys collecting clothes, books and email addresses, spends quite a bit of time tooling around the net, and is plenty happy to be playing hooky to go to her first Convergence. |

Mystique writes: "OK, so I am known as "Mystique" or just plain Shawn and I am from the San Francisco Bay Area. This will be my first time though I've intended to go far too long. I practice the ubiquitous city occupation of programming. My passion though lies in creative ventures. I live to dance, sing and enjoy crafting music. I am a freewheeling spirit who laps up the abundant revelry of the scene out here. I hope to twirl alot during Convergence and meet mesmerizing creatures." |

I'm an artist with my degree in illustration and a taste for fantasy art. I'm currently trying to find a real bloody job in web design or graphics. I will be putting up some of my work on my site soon. I've been into the Gothic thing for many years and grew up in the LA/Hollywood club scene. I'm into art, books, cinema, shows, costumes, corsets, music, etc." |

banshee hasn't posted to alt.gothic in years, though long ago he took a perverse delight in starting threads like "Bauhaus Sucks" and "Damn But Gene Simmons is Goth". Another of the teeming Bay Area sprawl of professional keypunchers, John finds delight and solace in less virtual pursuits: reading, gardening, ballroom dancing, historical costuming, and irish whiskey to name a few. Until now hes been too lazy to attend Convergence, but hes all a-twitter at the prospect of entering the locus of spookiness. John claims to be going to dance, but secretly he's wife-shopping. |

Auros Symtheos describes himself: "Goth geek. Often flirty, yet shy when cornered. Wears assorted serpent/dragon jewelry (including the dreaded pointy dragon brass belt buckle). Warning, incorrigible punster; do not incorrige. Babble-bunny extraordinaire. Likes caffeine, not alcohol. Ex-Microserf (I was young and needed the money; anyways I know a little about Seattle as a result. Gotta love the Mercury.) Obsessed with hair. (Oo, can I comb that out for you?) May sing (goth or otherwise) at unexpected moments. There are sadly no up-to-date photos of me. But I'm a pretty stereotypical gothboi anyways -- tall, thin, moustache and goatee, shoulder-length dark hair..." |

Bay area born and raised, now residing and going to school in Santa Cruz, tart is happy she found the time and an okay (but recent) photo of herself (of course, by the time C6 rolls around, the hair will be different, she'll be wearing makeup, and hopefully a little more than the mere towel pictured here) to submit. She's a double major in literature and psychology, so if you suddenly feel the urge to talk about Milton or Freud or anyone in between, she's your girl. She loves meeting people, and promises to be interesting, if for no other reason than she always manages to embarrass herself and laugh harder than anyone about it. She loves to dance, talk, be a social butterfly, laugh, be sarcastic and witty (or at least try to), drink, sing, and be generally entertaining to those around her. She adores Brit-accented goiz (girls 'n' boys. Good thing she gets to be surrounded by them next year)and people who speak German, so if you fall into those categories, please come and let her fetishize you. She should probably say something more interesting about herself, but unfortunately, she can't think of anything else right now. Maybe sometime in the near future she'll get that webpage that she's been promising to everyone up, and then you can know more than you ever wanted to.(E-mail her.) |

september writes: "I hail originally from the Michigan goth scene, where I learned to be expert in the art of Mopey-angsty Goth. However, my boi Peewee and I moved to the SF Bay Area in 1997 in time for C3, and since then I've picked up the art of Perky-Goth fairly well. ;) Peewee and I will be part of a small SF-area C6 group outing, if we can all find each other after our planes land! I hope to extend beyond our little SF-area cabal to meet and cavort with the rest of you freaks at C6." (E-mail her.) |

Aside from being the Gothic Martha Stewart, Trystan Bass is keeper of the alt.gothic.fashion.faq & web production manager for a crazed music startup at www.riffage.com. In her non-existent spare time, she types away on a.g.f (where we look good so you don't have to) & once in a blue moon peeks into alt.gothic. This will be her 4th Convergence & the 2nd for her husband Thomas (who isn't goth but looks reallyreally good in black velvet anyway). (E-mail her.) |

San Fransisco spooky types may have seen raytrace at some of the more popular goth clubs in the area. You may have even seen the fish! This year, she's going to convergence (without the fish) for the very first time, and expects to have a merry dark time. What does Rachel do when not indulging in lace+velvet? Besides slaving for a start-up company, the little time she has left is spent gardening, learning german, and dreaming about robots.(E-mail her.) |

Mistress Cinka writes: "The mastermind behind The Gothic Preservation Society, this will be my second Convergence (New Orleans being the first). I think most of all I'm looking forward to the view from the spaceneedle, keeping myself from becoming deathly ill (caught the flu last year) and maintaining a high level of alcohol in-take. Naturally, this will all commence after a grueling 18 hour drive North. See you there!" |

Andre writes: "Good Evening Ladies and Gents, Convergence is three days from now, and I at last cast of the shackles of procastination and attach my bio and photo to this page. I am recently arrived from Austin, TX and am trying to adjust to a rather small Scene here on the Central Coast. But worry not, it will only slow my plans for global domination slightly! ;) Okay if you see a bit of color that looks rather like some odd gothic-gypsy-hippy frolicking in the streets or whirling on the dance floor, come up and introduce yourself. I am a friendly bloke always interested in meeting new folks." (E-mail him.) |
