conducted by members of the vampire community. The hosts for this event were Eric Bloodstorm of the Portland Vampire Community and Lady Slinky of VCMB and the greater Seattle area. Against the backdrop of
the beautiful Pacific-Northwest, vampires of a variety of paths
gathered to discuss topics of importance on both an individual and
larger community level. Presentations were held by Michelle Belanger, Pam Keesey, Lady Damiana, Soma, Merticus, Zero, Case, and J.C.G, along with discussions involving Zilchy, Brad, Cole, Stygian Grey, The Pink Lady, Eric Bloodstorm, Lady Slinky, and Daemonox. Presentations ranged from the vampire archetype
to community building to shamanism to current vampirism research to
skepticism to the law as related to vampires and donors. Discussions
were spirited and often stretched well into the evening past the
allotted schedule and even carried on throughout the dinners and
outside the meeting room. Differences in viewpoints were clarified,
ideas fostered, and friendships forged.
