steampunk

Have you seen this stuff? Some of it is just so very very cool! Google it, I dare ya. OK, it shouldn't be much of a surprise that I can geek out over it, after all, i really like roll playing games, AND I spent some fun years in the Society for Creative Anachronism. Anyway, some of the models and stuff that I have seen are pretty awesome.

I've read that there are organized steampunk groups. I haven't seen any around here, but I HAVE seen a poster for a steampunk convention in the Seattle area later this year. Woah, would I love to go to that. Of course I'm so very not ready to do it, really. No garb for one thing. Oh, yeah, I could make some. I know I could (see previous experience in the SCA). Garb for me, Ron, Carl & Raine. We could have some serious fun.

First I think we'll have to go local, though. Carl mentioned a steampunk costume party. I think we'll start there, with plenty of warning to people so they can put proper effort into their wardrobe... Ahhh the imagination alights.
