I know we have a few people around and about that are kinda sorta into steampunk...

There is a Highland Ren. Fest taking place in Eminence, Ky (955 Elm St. zip 40019) June 25 & 26 and they are having Magic, Mystery, and Kaboom steampunk weekend! Come costumed and you get $2 off parking!

Be there with bells on...and clocks, goggles, lace, and well- just empty out that junk drawer and hot glue it to a suit, 'K!

Also, if you know of any other steampunk events ANYWHERE feel free to post 'em here!

Lol, a friend of mine is coming to visit that week from the UK, and he said he wanted to see some of the south and visit some cultural faires. I would love to take him to this one, and yet somehow I feel it would go over like, oh damn, it's hard to think of anything that would go over this poorly. Maybe King Jong Il at at a kegger.

That's what a ship is, you know - it's not just a keel and a hull and a deck and sails, that's what a ship needs.

Wait, I'm confused...Did you know ol' Kim Jong is the single largest comsumer WORLDWIDE of Hennessy? As long as it's the right keg, he'd be right at home, lol...

OMG, you're not making it up. Okay. Maybe like Alistair Cook at a disco.

Sounds like fun, my best friend is in our local steampunk group and I know all the folks there. Portland is having GearCon on July 22 through 24 this summer, for anyone close enough who wants to go to a steampunk oriented con, plus there's SteamCon in Seattle towards the end of the year, Oct. or Nov.

Yes, it's a little worrisome ;) Motivating my stiff upper lip friend to steampunk though, depends. Maybe easier than Burning Man?

Seattle a bit far for me.

Why do people compare Steampunk to Burning Man, you're not the first person who has mentioned them in the same breath, why? I don't think they're that similar.

Riona,

They're not and yet they are. I mean, it's a total divorcing oneself from the current world culture in which we live in favor of a complete fantasy. I guess Burning Man is also sci-fi, and so it's closer to Steampunk than to a Renfaire, but it's the same idea.
