What makes it "Alternate"?

And why is it the second version?
Anyway, I can't think of anything to say about the font except that... well, no, I can't think of anything to say about it.

So - what's been happening in the wonderful world that is gothic? Or, more importantly, Goth. Well, if you're going to be around Whitby next month then you must be sure to book tickets for the Whitby Gothic Weekend (http://wgw.topmum.co.uk/about/history/). I find it strangely disturbing that the site's URL is "topmum"... Maybe Goths do make the best mums...

And, of course, if you're into goth, things like dead people and vampires are the bag you're into, so to speak, and Whitby, once again, does well on that score, seeing as it's where the man himself washes up. Whitby recognises this and you can, if you decide to visit the town, be shown around all the imaginary places that Dracula never visited: http://www.whitby-uk.com/cgi-bin/site.nav/whitby.pl?page=dracula

While Googling about goths, and trying to find something with the "Alternative" angle, I found this site: http://www.thegothicalternative.com/. It promises so much and yet... There's fuck all there. Perhaps it's one of those sites that was never meant to be...

The other thing I can never decide is whether I'm Goth or punk or whatever. Actually, no, that's utter bullshit. I'm way too old to have angst like that and to be quite honest, I really can't be arsed with labels. But - if you really want to know what your leanings are, try here: http://www.verbalchilli.com/features/gtatest.asp

As always, I can't guarantee that the sites I point to don't have nasty little spybots or whatever...
