Would You Like to Play?
This is what we've got planned to keep you partying. All events are tentative. Should Tampa win Convergence, we will endeavor to get you the full information as soon as is ghoulishly possible. Remember: Convergence is about the people. To that end, we've kept plenty of free time in your schedule to knock back pints with friends. Friday - The Summoning Renew acquaintances, finally meet that digital someone, or just feel the energy of the massing throng wash over you as we crank things up with a casual chance to mingle, swap hugs and room numbers, and say hello to another year's Convergence. - Ghost Cruise I People say Tampa and then think Pirates. An evening cruise on a Pirate vessel out of nearby Clearwater is available for the daring, but space is limited to 125 denizens each night. And what's life on a pirate ship without grog? Cocktails will be available onboard. Arrrr. - Replicant's Reward The dream of many thinking machines, droids and bots is to...live. Come join as we partake of live music from local (and not-so-local) acts.

Saturday - Forgotten Finery From Victorian steam-punk to the latest technofetish, the artistry of our culture’s fashion creators will be on display. - Damned Shamble With hundreds of years' worth of expeditions and colonization in Tampa's history, there's a rich tradition of tales that may not be strictly tied to the land of the living. A stroll among some of the more intriguing may be just what you're after. - Oblus for Charon Even Ghosts need spending cash for the ferryman. Bring your virtual piggybanks and peruse the wares being hawked by our Convergence vendors on the banks of the River Styx. - Ghost Cruise II In case you loved it the first night and want to do it again, or heard what fun it was from those who did, a second load of up to 125 seafaring freaks can set sail from Clearwater for a watery prelude to the night's main event. - Disney Gone Wrong You thought you were going to be heading for the Happiest Place on Earth, replete with singing animals, vacationing families, gawking tourists, and the occasional professional athlete. You can thank your chosen deity that we got here first and uncovered the truth, and that the truth is much more to our way of thinking. There is corruption beneath the glossy veneer of Mauschwitz. There are dark secrets behind the scenes of the animation empire. The characters that are so wholesome on the screen have their own sordid stories. Join us in finding out what they are Saturday evening. What does she do with her tail? How does he use those ears? What would seven lonely little men do with a drowsy damsel? Enjoy a twisted take on pop culture's favorite childhood icons, and never watch cartoons the same way again. Sunday - Davey Jones' Locker Need an upgrade? Want to give something back? Been coveting so-and-so's old outfit? Now's your chance to exchange what you've got for what you want at the AGF swap. - Oblus for Charon A second day of vending, for you procrastinators. - Weary Old Bones Old? Cranky? Need Pie? Join other Eldergoths for a cocktail and reminisce about the good old days. - Spirit Soiree Let the old meet the new with period attire from the early 1900's and the latest Cyberpunk garb. Attendees are encouraged to bring out their best and brightest for the weekend finale Sunday evening.
