even tho ive lived near whitby now since about 1993, ive never been, just never get it together.

 

as i see it the goths have a laugh shopping and drinking, meeting each other round the town, then theres bands on on a friday / saturday night i think, and aball on sunday?? someat like that.

theres quite lot go these days, i think they fill the small pubs like the elsinore, dunno about the bigger places tho tbh

I was a goth in my crimped youth.

Its not just goths its a chance to dress up and be differnt, lots of vampire costumes, victorian and other dress from history. Lots of fun and some great bargains to be had. Going again this year last year dressed as a old sea captain.

Yes, they use them more for straightening nowadays i think. We used to crimp the hell out of it and use a full can of hairspray! The deadest hair ever.
