My Busy Spring
I hope that you have been enjoying this crazy season. I feel like I have either been prepping for events or attending them non-stop for a while. Still a few more to go too.
First there was the Steampunk Exhibition Ball run by the Center for Sex Positive Culture. It was held in the new location for the Museum of History and Industry. People were so very well dressed. It was quite a treat. I do miss the old location for it’s multiple spaces. The new space is nice and very open.  The prohibition on flash photography was also a bit annoying but we found light where we could.
We went to a dress up event at the Raygun Lounge called Shindig. I am not really a game person so it won’t be a standard haunt for me, but several of my friends were moving away soon, so it was a great excuse to hang out with them. They had tasty food and beverages for sale as well, so it was a nice night.
Lastly, there was Steampunk University last Saturday. We had classes and a store full of great merchants. Attendance was decent, despite the many scattered showers. I got a lot of good feedback from people who came to find out what this steampunk thing was really all about. They seemed very enthused. We sold a lot of memberships to the convention!
Although I am steadfastly saving every penny for my birthday trip to Paris, I did buy a gorgeous mini pith helmet from my friend Amanda Forbes. It was too cute to resist and it will go well with Steamcon V’s “Around the World” theme.
Next weekend, the Abney Park and Steam Powered Giraffe show!
