Steampunk- Yesterday's Tomorrow, Today

Minnesota? DO you do steampunk? Are you going to the Michigan Steampunk convention over Memorial Day?

Have you heard of the band "Steam Powered Giraffe"?

Meh... I get all excited about fads, but rarely delve very deeply. I’ve long been a fan of dystopian futures and alternate histories. I was a fan of LXG and Watchmen before anyone thought to make a movie out of them. I was even a Jules Verne fan... I’d even love to see Master of the World re-done with a more Steamy theme to it.

Probably not going to the Con in Michigan. My Wife already thinks I’m looking for excuses to get the hell out of the house. :-)

I’ve heard of them. Mostly Abney Park, the Ghosts Project, Mr. B, Professor Elemental, Dr. Steel, etc... Radio Riel Steampunk channel is playing in the background here in my office right now.

Still waiting for the day when I can set up a nuclear powered steam turbine to power my daily driver... ;-)
