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... ;-)
My daughter likes Abney park, I haven’t had a chance to listen to them yet. I learned SPG when we visited the San Diego zoo last summer, I got to talk to one of the band guys who does their production work. But my daughter really likes them, so she’s on all their fan sites. She’s why I’m going to the convention.
Now I have to put together a costume, and not just the cheap one I made for myself....
