Recently that has meant:
Dorian's Parlor
Watch City
Steampunk World's Fair
Dorian's Parlor: I am the house musician. There is general awesomeness.
Watch City: A cool outdoor event with a strong historical aspect to it, as well as cool vendors, musicians & panels! Some things could have been organized better, but all in all, a very cool event.
Steampunk World's Fair: What an experience!!
I'd been looking forward to World's Fair for a long time ... and especially so since Wicked Winter Renessaince Faire (Wicked Faire), which was basically comparable to a religious experience for me (the culmination of which was seeing Ego Likeness)
Steampunk World's Fair was wicked and more ... there were many moments of epicness. I had sets with Eli August and Psyche Corporation, and saturday night, I got to participate in the most epic parking lot jam with Painless Parker, This Way to the Egress, Magpie Kiljoy (of Steampunk Magazine), other members of Eli's band. and of course Emperor Norton's Stationary Marching Band, who we met across the parking lot in Showdown Style.
I largely missed the panels I wanted to go to (though I did get to catch one of Mark Donelly's panels on archery) ... particularly I'd been hoping to catch Victorian Sexuality, and Steampunk Emma Goldman, and Jaymee Goh's panels... only so much time in the day though!
Anyway, here are some cool photos from the epicness. Please note: None of these photos were taken by me - they were all publicly posted on FB.
