			===The Convergence That Wasn't===
			The [[C26 \| Convergence XXVI]] vote was won by the Louisville Kentucky bid [http://www.altgothic.com/c26sdf].
			The event was postponed due to the COVID19 pandemic because we are sensible people and subsequently has yet to occur, being superceded in 2025 by C27. It may return sometime in the future, causing timeline disruption and pandemonium.
