SO fucking disappointed.

[xiane]

As you know, I recently announced that I can't go, due to serious financial constraint. I was very upset about this.

So. They finally announced the Convergence 10 bands.


At the top of the list, my absolutely favourite band of best people ever. THE BRIDES.

Needless to say, I'm really really fucking upset now that unless the world turns on its ear, I'm not going to be there. SO - I'm charging you. If you can go... PLEASE go. Stand up front. Dance, scream, and sing along. I can't be there to appreciate their awesomeness. Will you do it for me? And buy some of their swag while you're there too, yes?

Not to leave out the other totally cool bands: GOTEKI! [damn!], Frank The Baptist! [damn!], Black Tape For A Blue Girl [I suspected as much], Passion Play [who?], Manuskript [another I'd like to see], Arch Visceral Parlour [huh? who? Oh, they're a hometown band.]

There you have it. Now I'm going to go off and mope severely, then try to figure out how in the world I can possibly manage to find the money to make it there, if only for that show, somehow.

How much is it, anyway?

Here's some suggestions, that might help. Try to use the tribe.net board to see if you can find someone who can share a room/ride with you. I think the Bella Morte guys are all going (don't know if you are friends/enemies with them).

welcome to my whining! :D

The Mortes are good friends, and that's a possibility, if there's room in the van and if they're not doing shows along the way. I have a crazy idea that I might hop a bus and just suck it up, if there's no other option. The big problem for me more than anything is that I'm financially very strapped right now, when I need to buy the tickets. When the actual even happens, I'll probably have the cash, if all goes as it should. I just don't have credit cards, or I would just damn the torpedoes and charge it all.

More than anything, I'm terribly stressed out with the whole struggle to open my club here in Cville, so the idea of C10 as a well-deserved break from all the stress is so damn beautiful to me at this point, sigh... *grin* And... truth be told, I'm the most horrible Brides fangirl EVER. Just ask 'em, they'll tell you. It's sick.

Okay, off to breathe slowly and make plans of attack.

GAH! *rips guts out*

Right now I am more sick to my stomach than you can imagine, or wait, you can imagine. *sigh* I have missed every Projektfest because of $$ or being out of town doing something else.
Will and I were talking about Convergence and he asked if I was still going, I said not unless something swayed me. THIS is swaying; however that doesn't rule out Chicago is a ways away, costly, & costly. I wanna go :( I need to find a sugar daddy!

what a crapfest, eh?

I'm going to try to do something, anything, to at least make it there for that day... somehow.

I'm so angry right now, I'm red. I've been alternating between full-on rage and pity-me boohoo all day. Neither of these places are good for me, especially with vomitus maximus disease. I'm trying to calm down and get a good, positive thinking attitude going - there's gotta be a way out of this, if I try. But I have some recent info - which I'll share with you later - that makes it pretty imperative that I get my ass there, if I can. All the wind's out of my proverbial sails right now, but this anger's going to turn to energy soon.

And bythe way - I love you!

You are so nice, it kills me. Thanks so much.

I love the way they picked such a diverse bunch of bands--it should make the event a good example of goth love. I love the mix. =)

We'll figure out a way of getting you up there! Do not despair!

i'm sad too. no dj spot, and bands i actually want to see...but hell, the brides will be here in dc soon enough

Passion Play is a UK goth rock band that I really like. They've only played in the US once, at Saturnalia a couple of years ago, which is probably why you haven't heard of them.
