Man, I do hope someone recorded those Convergence panels, and upload them to YT to boot!

Sorry for the double-post, but I found myself remembering that creativity demon about the "Weird Macbeth", where Macbeth and Demona would have played the Macbeth and Lady Macbeth of Shakespeare - and I've read that in a lot of productions, the Macbeths' relationship on stage carries a lot of sexual energy....

Hufflepuffs are really good finders

Maybe, though I'm not sure how much the survival of the gargoyle race is at the root of Demona's schemes, and how much of it is revenge and power. (Though I've long suspected that if Demona was confronted with the fact that the extinction of humanity might not be enough to protect the gargoyles' future, she'd reply that at least the humans wouldn't enjoy the fruits of their genocide.)

TODD> No sacrifice is too great for the survival of the Gargoyle Race. :P

"This world isn't worth saving, tragedies and sadness will never truly disappear. But even so, it's the place she once tried to protect. I remember that. And I will never ever forget it. That's why... I keep fighting." ~Homura Akemi

Demona doing that with a human? I've got to admit I never expected to hear about that - even if it was all part of the "seduce Macbeth as part of her big scheme with Thailog" plan. (I really shouldn't be saying that, but I wonder what the act must have been like in light of that magical bond the Weird Sisters put on those two.)

Dude, even so. Any Owen tidbits?
FTBM

No, Jackal and Hyena aren't doing it between themselves. As Greg said, Jackal is not strange enough for Hyena... and he's not into her in that way. But, yeah.
Greg Bishansky
Here's the problem with most fanfic writers: they seem to think Dominique is a second life. It isn't. Demona spelled it plainly in "High Noon." She's a gargoyle. Dominique is just a tool to help her in her goals. She'll use the form because she changes into a human, whether she likes it or not, but Dominique is not another life for her.

Interesting stuff. Makes me wonder what else was revealed at Blue Mug.

The David and Fox thing I completely believe, although if anything it sounds like they are more conservative in their marriage than the swingers that I know, at least. The Jackel and Hyena thing too, comes as no surprise. Gargoyles own twisted Lannisters.
FTBM

Yeah, a lot was revealed at the Blue Mug.

Fox is bisexual, and she and David have a semi-open marriage... of course their agreement is both have to be there with any sexual encounter with another woman or another man.

Fox also, back in the days before the Pack were arrested, whole she was into David even though they weren't yet "exclusive", she did have sex with Dingo, and had a threesome with Jackal and Hyena at least once. No, she never touched Wolf, he's too dumb for her.

Did he really? That's kind of disappointing actually. He had previously also stated that Demona "does not give of herself lightly". I had thought he was trying not to cast her as the gendered stereo"tropial" vamp villianess. Did he give any further explanation or has he just been rewriting her character in his head?
FTBM

A perfect example of why Greg invented the term "Canon-in-Training". For years, he said that as Dominique, Demona never had sex with Macbeth during her seduction of him in "Sanctuary".

Well, at last night's Blue Mug-a-Guest, guess what he said when asked about that? Yup.

Did they mention the Gargoyles DVD's and comics at Convergence 2014 for Gargoyles 20th anniversary? did they mention about the complete series set for Gargoyles on DVD and Blu Ray at Convergence 2014? Did they mention about Gargoyles DVD's of Season 1 and 2 about being remastered and also about future Gargoyles comics?

While I can't be at the con, it's really very (!) exciting to know that it's going on right now...:-D

Happy National Horsefly Day, everyone!

Gosh, I wish I could have gone to CONvergence. But ah well.

Happy Fourth of July, everyone!

Vaevictis: CONvergence has a big party element. All the cabanas around the pool are run by fans and organizations separate from the convention staff. The posters usually advertise various events at their parties but anyone can put something up as long as they do it at the right place with low-adhesive painter's tape.

GPS ran Greg's pie contest and they're hosting the Gargoyles-themed room party but they're an independent organization (but closely aligned with CONvergence): http://geekpartnership.org/ They're running the Gargoyles party on their own and they put up the Gargoyles posters around the con to advertise their party.

VAEVICTUS: I'm assuming that at least some of the old "Gathering staples" (and hoping, since I've never had a chance to see any of them myself) will be part of this event:

3:30pm - 4:30pm CREATING GARGOYLES
This is what we used to call (at the Gathering) the Rocky Horror Gargoyles Show. The creators of Gargoyles show clips and tell stories of how the show came to be. Lots of visual aids. Panelists: Myself (Creator, Supervising Producer/Story Editor, Writer), Frank Paur (Supervising Producer/Director), Greg Guler (Lead Character Designer). ATRIUM 6.


As for Cabana 110, that's where the Fancy Bastard pie contest was held last night. Hung there myself with Greg and various Gathering alums (plus Frank Paur for a few hours) until past midnight myself...

Which was pretty daggum awesome, I gotta say. :D

I also kinda want to know what all the posters are about. The only Gargoyles thing I found in Cabana 110 (so far) is that model castle.

Adam: Go ahead, bring a backpack. Weapons & animals have restrictive policies; bags, food, & costumes don't. Try not to take up tons of space, though. Con is crowded, & elevators are finite.

Does anyone know if/when/where The Last is showing? Vashkoda emailed me saying it would be, but it isn't on any schedule...

Vaevictis

Had a great 1st day at CONvergence. Can't wait for the Gargoyle's panels over the next couple of days.

I have been looking through the CONvergence website and I can't seem to find the answer. I sent an email to them but have yet to get a response. So I will post my question here. Does anyone know what CONvergence's policy is on bringing a backpack to the event? If anyone knows could you please let me know. Thanks.

I'm sure there are already plans for this, but can you Convergence attendees try to film that radio play?

Just finished watching all episodes of Gargoyles. I can honestly say that I can't really do a best to worst list of episodes (other than maybe "Vendettas". I guess I can only do 1st favorite, 2nd favorite, and so on.

Whelp...I'm getting ready to take off for CONvergence. (ROAD TRIP!)

I'm jazzed...First Gathering I've been to since '08.

Oh man.

I may need to stay away from this site for the next week, lest the pain of hearing about awesome Gathering stuff that I can't be present for grow overwhelming. (But who am I kidding, I'll be checking here every day for new info.) I hope everyone who's going has a great time!

...And just on the off-off-off-off-off-off-hope-springs-eternal-chance of anything happening within the next few days, reposting this:

Is anyone planning on going, who lives in or around east-central Indiana or would pass through on the way, and would possibly be interested in carpooling and sharing expenses? If anyone would be interested, you can contact me at the email below, and I'd be happy to further discuss the possibility.

So who all is going to CONvergence? I would love to meet everyone from this site who is going to be there. I have only had Gargoyle discussions online. Would like to do it in person with you guys.
