ANT CONVENTION 2000 REPORT

On November 13, 2000 over 250 people gathered in London, England to attend the annual Adam Ant/Adam and the Ants convention. This year's convention was organized by Antlib as Umesh wanted a break so he took a year off. Although this event was a bit smaller than usual, a new venue and more activities made this year's convention extra special! Friends from England, America, Canada, Belgium, Holland, Germany, Wales and Ireland gathered together to celebrate over 23 years of Antmusic.
 
A few famous faces dropped by - Terry Lee Miall, Dave Barbe and Boz Boorer. Also, Terri's band, the Magnificent Five, played a wonderful set, plus there was an Antjam featuring musically talented attendees. Last but not least, several songs from the not-yet-released ANTBOX were played.
 

I was stupid enough to bring a camera with only 20 pictures left so below is only a mere photo gallery recapping the event! Click here to view other photos taken by: Belgian Ant, Sparky, GretaX and Ant Lady

Also, review the 2001 Convention photos here!
