4.3. The Convention

It has really happened to us!

May 8, 1994, London's Hippodrome. Short list of events:

lots of rare videos
lots of live music/dance from fans
three new Kate songs: The Man I Love, Sexual Healing, and a brand new US dance remix of Rubberband Girl
a raffle which got the lucky winner the Japanese gold record for Lionheart as well as a kiss stolen from Kate
an auction hosted by Dave from Homeground and Del Palmer where super-rare ("one exists, two exists, ...") stuff went away for 2230 pounds (all profits, including these, went to the Great Ormund Street Children's Hospital)
a quiz that was won by the Norfolk Alchemists the second time in a row (next time we will practise a bit!)
lots of merchandise, some for money, some for free
Paddy Bush and Colin Lloyd Tucker (Bushtucker) presenting their album Skyscraping
The biggest act of Happyvangelising to date
Kate herself appearing for a couple of minutes, presenting the main price of the raffle to the lucky winner and presenting her new film,
The Line, The Cross, And The Curve
Kate inspired disco
and, last but not least, lots of fun

Thanks to everyone involved, and see you next time!
