Greetings, alt.gothic!
On behalf of the Chicago Convergence Twenty committee, we present, if you please, our proposal for your perusal; at your pleasure!
"Convergence 20 Chicago: First & Last & Always"

We submit this bid to you, dark denizens of the Internet, in the hopes that our city may continue the fine once-a-decade tradition of being your hosts for a weekend you'll never forget! Please allow us this honor with your vote for Convergence Twenty Chicago.
Our committee is composed entirely of C* veterans in one form or another: Scary Lady Sarah and William Faith as the co-chairpersons & entertainment coordinators; JV (aka The Evil Chemist) as the guru of travel & hotel; CarrieMonster, coordinating the fashion show & vendors; Jennifer Anne Buckley, overseeing our website & co-organizer of the art show; and Moses "Creepy" McFeely, art show organizer.
We all agree that the focus of a C20 Chicago should be on organizing & delivering a gathering where friends from far & near will be able to spend time together, enjoying events based in the goth community. The activities we plan will include Convergence customs and of course, as music is the tie that binds, we promise to bring you a fantastic bill of live performances & DJs.
We expect & hope that such an auspicious anniversary will attract past C* attendees who may have had to forgo more frequent "goth outings" due to the demands of work, children, etc, and not only the "old guard" but also the enthusiastic newer generation who do indeed keep goth going & give us "hope for a dark future." The current state of goth is definitely smaller than it once was, but the venues & events we plan are suited well towards a modestly-sized attendance.
Thank you very much for your consideration!!!
Most Sincerely,
Scary Lady Sarah, William Faith, JV the Evil Chemist, CarrieMonster, Jennifer, Moses
