Were it about this time last year, and were it my toy, I'd have put together a brochure of pictures of cheery gothics and cuttings from the paper demonstrating how much money the local area makes, and shopped it around half a dozen sleepy seaside towns.
People beetle off to Camber Sands and/or Minehead (My memories of Minehead are good, but we weren't staying in the barbed-wire-fenced Butlins) for ATP/Bangface/Marillion weekenders.
And, if one wanders about Whitby and looks at the posters, the gothic weekend is just another theme thing that goes in between the Soul/Folk/Forties/Sixies events.
I think at the moment we're in frog-boiling (goth boiling?) territory. How much more faff are people going to put up with before they go 'Oh, the hell with it' and buck the social network effect? (enough of my friends are there, so...)
