The Illuminated Donkey

The votes have been counted, and next year's Convergence 8 Goth-Fest (the annual net.goth convention and music festival, the largest gothic/industrial gathering in North America) will be held in.....Montreal, handily beating Las Vegas, among others. Like most right-thinking people, I've always loved goths, and it's good to know that if I have a hankering to see hundreds, if not thousands, of them, they'll all be conveniently located, albeit in Canada (my guess for the reason behind Montreal's popularity: a legal drinking age of 18).
