Golden Gate Gathering returns, but in a new place.

Postby Kent Gunn » June 22nd, 2021, 8:13 am

I moved to Florida several years ago. I went back to San Francisco recently and put the GGG in my trunk and drove it to Florida.

Kent, what the heck is the GGG? It was the Golden Gate Gathering. In Florida, that name is just wrong. So now we're the:

Golden Gator Gathering!

Or not.

Smallish convention. I am twisting the arms of two more lecturers. When they hit their maximum pain threshold, they'll be announced.

We always have great lecturers. It's a small and an intimate gathering of performers, hobbyists, like me and even the occasional mentalist.



Holiday Inn Resort Orlando-Lake Buena Vista 13351 SR 535, Orlando, 32821

14, 15, 16 October

Bob Swadling

C'mon out. It's not the Genii convention, it'll have to do for now.

Hopefully this doesn't mean Theron and crew have given up on the NorCal GGG.

If what you are used to is large conventions like the Genii Bash or MagicLive or MagiFest, the vibe with a small one is completely different (and in a good way). I've had great fun at big and small conventions. Consider going to this.

Convention was held. Covid greatly diminished attendance. We're hopeful next year will see a cessation of the virus, at least we hope we can gather without an omnipresent sense of trepidation.

The convention was a very small, success. I hope you'll consider coming out to Florida, next January.

Performers for next year:

Geoff Williams
Edward Oschman
Ryan Bliss
Jason, Jafo, Fields

Pretty eclectic gathering.

January 13,14, 15

I suspect we'll sell out. If you'd like to attend. Tell me soon, please.

Hotel is changing.
