Are you fed-up with garbage, full-of-shit sites where nobody actually communicates, such as Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and Twitter? Do you wish your old friends who've migrated to those sites would return to LiveJournal? The the_lj_revival community has been set up with that aim in mind, and you are invited to join it. If you are already on LiveJournal and still have a Facebook profile, and would like to see more people returning to LJ or setting up accounts here, we invite you to post a link to this community on your Facebook Timeline. If you would like to find out who is still using LiveJournal and make contact with those who are already here, you are invited to copy and paste the 'about me' questions on the profile page and post them with your answers to the community.

Why Vampires?

WHY VAMPIRES questionnaire:


Well, I'm still writing my new book, Allure of the Vampire Our Sexual Attraction to the Undead and I thought to myself, why not put it to the vampire fans - so here goes.

What attracted you to vampires originally? Why do you find them appealing or erotic? Be descriptive, from any part of your life, especially on what book, television show, movie or figure in particular stood out the most.

Write me at corvisnocturnum@yahoo.com and use in the subject line, "Why vampires"

Thank you so much.

{C14} IRIS, AUDRA, & THE PASSING HOUR ADDED TO THE C14 LINEUP!

IRIS

A welcome addition to our annual net.goth gathering, Iris is known for their retro-flavored tunes blended with catchy, yet haunting lyrics. From their debut album, Disconnect and its dance-floor favorite "Annie, Would I Lie to You", to their latest release, Wrath, reviewers have lauded their music using words such as "perfect" and "sublime" to describe their synth-tinged melodies.

AUDRA

Audra's music harks back to the early days of gothic rock enhanced with a longing, heartfelt, ethereal sound. Signed to Projekt Records, bandmates and brothers Brett Helm and Bart Helm, along with drummer J. DeWolf, are the embodiment of Audra's sharp, intense stage presence and well-crafted songs that never fail to mesmerize a crowd.

THE PASSING HOUR

The Passing Hour press-kit consisted of a CD and a handwritten sticky note saying that they would love to be a part of Convergence. The music on that CD demonstrated that they had the chops needed to wow the revelers. Their album, "Forever This Day," and the dark music within, gives one a taste of the potential of this up and coming band, who includes alt.gothic's very own Timly Grae as one of their members.. We are happy to welcome Louisville, KY's The Passing Hour to the C14 lineup.

These acts join Voltaire, The Synthetic Dream Foundation and Faded Sympathy on the stage of Convergence 14 in Tampa's Ybor City. Stay tuned, more bands will be announced in the coming weeks!

Tune in to the C14 website to see the latest in upcoming events at Convergence 14.

{C14} Bands & DJs Announced For C14!

We are proud to announce two bands that will be appearing at Convergence 14 this year. Faded Sympathy will be traveling all the way from Columbus, OH, in order to entertain you with their with their unique brand of gothic rock. Combining post-punk of the early 80s with a 90s shoegazer sensibility, they are a welcome addition to the stage of Convergence 14.

Also joining us will be Tampa's The Synthetic Dream Foundation, whose music ranges the map from EBM Industrial to Dark Ambient/Industrial and back again to experimental endeavours. Samples of this enterprising band may be heard here.

We are also pleased to announce that our Main Event will be graced with the DJing skills of Cleveland's own SpinMistress Batty. Last seen at Convergence 9, we are delighted that she will once again be providing her considerable skills for Convergence 14.

For those who will be present at the Pre-Party, the enjoyment of the ministrations of DJ Sonny Crocket will be yours. Fast cars, fast women, fast internet connections - these are tell-tale signs of a Vice DJ. Detective Sonny Crockett is a nine year veteran of the Macross City Vice unit, protecting citizens from criminally bad tunes with a weekly net radio broadcast originating beneath the palm trees at IPM Radio. Crockett embodies the pastel days and neon nights, but can the shark survive?

This and other news is able to be seen at the C14 website. Check in there to see the latest in upcoming events at Convergence 14. The C14 Committee thanks you for your attention and hopes to see you next year at Convergence 14 in Ybor City, FL!
