Let's talk shop!

We have recently come back from an interesting evening. Whisper now has a cast, we now have rooms available for Steampunk World's Fair, and Black Tape For A Blue Girl has confirmed with us, making them the second official performer at SWF!!!

I heard them first on the Projekt Dark Cabaret album, and rather liked it...and only recently found out that Brian Viglione and Nicki Jane both have joined them on their latest album. Needless to say, HUZZAH!

Oh, you are asking about the rooms part?
Yes.
Rooms are now available. They are comfy, and pretty.
Every bed from the second floor up has a sleep number bed.
Go book now.
NOW!

We also got neat-o business cards for the Fair.

Lots of plans are forming and coming together...but I have a proposal to anyone who is reading this...we have been trying to use names of Steampunk and Victorian literature characters in the naming of things. But our list is rather lop sided, seeing as we know the basics (Holmes, Moriarty, Nemo, etc) and the Horror (Mr. Hyde, Mina Harker, Carmilla, Dr. Frankenstein, Dr. Moreau, etc).
So if you know of any character that is particularly important to you, speak up! You might get something named after them! (or something cooler...but that is a surprise!)

I am so excited. It seems like every day we get new information on who is coming, what is going to happen, and what we can do! Right now everything is happening rather smoothly...I am preparing for the day it doesn't. That day is coming, and I dread that day...but for now, I will dance around like an idiot as the World's Fair is built around me!

I'm going to need a monicle!

Ideas for the event!!!

I am awake way past the times I should be, thinking of things I ought not, and feeling like I need to be productive!

We would really like the Mad Science Fair to run. The only problem I foresee is that most of the makers and contraptors are hermit-like folk sometimes. We know so many people who can make amazing things, but tend to stay away from people. they are content to make their devices and toys, and go about their business.
So, if anyone has ideas on how to entice those strange and astonishing few into poking their heads out of their labs like meerkat long enough to present...speak up!
Or if you have ideas for devices, toys, props, furniture...start planning now! you have 6 months!

There is a lot more in the works, as well. Including a somewhat surprising offer from an unexpected benifactor. *ominous theramin chord*.....*quickly followed by dumb Ed Wood jokes*...*nevermind*...

Will the website ever be up? Can people start booking rooms yet? How will the Captain ever escape the crocodile pit below and the head hunters above...WITHOUT HIS WHISKY?!
Tune in next time kiddies! More news on the aether from Steampunk World's Fair!

Ladies, gentlemen, and those undecided, may I have your attention please!

Earlier this summer, myself and Whisper started talking about running an event. A steampunk themed event that we would plan and host. We had a plan to call it 'A Dreadful Affair.'
Though I LOVE that name, The Dreadful Affair has not happened. It fell to the wayside, and we did not pick it back up.
I apologize to everyone who was interested in helping with it. We had a great response to it, and it really bolstered our drive to do it. I would love to have the Dreadful Affair happen one day.

We may have dropped the ball on this event, but there IS a reason.
We are going to be helping one Jeff Mach produce the "Steampunk World's Fair" next May in NJ.

There will be more news forthcoming. We are still planning and developing ideas for it...but I can give you a little hint as to what will be happening:



No...we are NOT kidding.

Hope to see you all there!
Cheers!
