exhibition hall issue 8 - april 2010chris garcia - editor, james bacon - london bureau chiefariane wolfe - fashion editor, cover artist: diana vick!What’sthemostSteampunk Museum in theworld? The Science Museum of London might havea claim with the fact thatthey’ve got all that Babbagestuff and steam trains andso on, but I’ll say that it’sthe Victoria & Albert Museum, just down the wayfrom the Science Museum.It’s full of costumes, ancient musical instruments,beautiful art, the HerefordScreen, the Cast Courts, Metal work, woodstuffs, all sorts of things that the Steampunkmight well go nuts over. I love the V&A, andnow, a week and a half away from leaving forthe Sceptered Isle of Britain, I’m all a-twitterfor the V&A and can’t wait until I make myway there.This issue is mostly about the NovaAlbion Steampunk Exhibition. There’s JamesBacon’s interview with Herr Doktor which I’mpleased to be able to run and there’s a piecefrom Nick Ottens that’s a good bit of interestwhen you think of our up-coming project.There’s also an Op/Ed from Nick Ottens. He’s the editor of Gatehouse Gazette, afine magazine that I enjoy quite a bit. StartingMay 1st, there’s going to be a project calledthe Great Steampunk Debate. The debatewill cover a lot of ground, everything fromthe politics (or lack thereof) of Steampunk, towhat we’re going to do in the future to wetheror not we’re a fandom or a scene or what. It’sgoing to be a very different concept than mostforums that have sprung up and I’m happy tosay that I’m a part of it.That isn’t to say that I’m sure whatwe’re going to come up with. Fandoms (andyes, I still believe we are a fandom) neverseem to manage to agree on anything.Everyfandom has a period where they try and de-fine things. This is our attempt, and while they never seem to come up withanything, why do I holdout hope this time? Because I think we’re different in a way. We still havethe same problems, thesame dealings, but we alsohave a bunch of advantages. We’re a fandom thatgrew on the net. We’re alsodoing all of this earlier inour cycle. Also, and maybeI’m being naive, I think we’re more openand hard-thinking than many other groupsthat have tried. You can find the debate atgreatsteampunkdebate.com starting on May1.You’ll read all about my experience atNova Albion, and there are so many otherconventions coming up. I’m hoping that wemanage to get a good call for future conventions. if you’re going to The SteampunkWorld’s Fair or any of the myriad Steampunkcons in the next couple of months. There’s aJune 1st issue which would be great for reports, ya know!It’s sadly a fact that the next of theSteampunk conventions I’ll actually be atis SteamCon II: The Quickening (No, it’s notreally called that. Yes, it would be cool if itwere!) It’s at a rough time of year, I’ve gota con the very next weekend in LA, but it’sgood because it’s during a time of fun Seattleweather!OK, the next issue will be more likethe rest of them, including a review of GailCarriger’s Changeless and a look at my tripto England! Should be a good one.And we’re off!comments? questions? journeyplanet@gmail.com
steampunkness: a new state of open mindSteampunk has come a long way inrecent years. No longer an obscure subgenre of speculative fiction, steampunktoday encompasses besides literature andfilm, design, fashion and a communitythat spans worldwide. Although firmlyrooted in British Victorianism, steampunkenthusiasts hail from all nations withfascinating variations on the theme beingexplored in France, Japan and the UnitedStates especially.Asthesteampunkmovementcontinues to grow, it is only inevitable thatthe many people involved in it try to shapeit to their personal liking. There is no harmin that. Steampunk is a versatile conceptthat can adapt to different times, differentplaces, different philosophies even. Newinterpretations of steampunk should alwaysbe welcomed as refreshing in the first placebefore we attempt to dissect or, eventually,discard of them.New ideas also breed conflict. A novelapproach can be controversial and invitevehement opposition from the old guardwho feel that “their” steampunk is underthreat. Such an approach hasn’t even tobe that novel at all. The mere suspicionthat someone intends to turn steampunkinto something else, something previouslyunheard of, can spark indignation.The reaction is only natural. Steampunkhas been a hobby that some have beenindulging in for many years. It can challengeone’s patience when another, relatively newto the scene, declares that they posses asuperior grasp of the concept.We must remember however thatsteampunk has no definitive meaning. Everysteampunk enthusiast will tell you that it’salmost impossible to describe the genre ina single phrase. We all know steampunkwhen we see it, even if, at first, we don’t.At the same time, steampunk isno free-for-all. Not everything has to besteampunk’d. But a different perspectivethat forces us to reconsider our premises;that demands that we continue to seek adefinition, is always a valuable addition tothe debate.by nick ottens
review: the nova albionsteampunk exhibitionI will start with a note about photos:I’ m terrible at taking them, and I have tofind ways to make my terrible photos intosomething that’s acceptable. So, duringNova Albion, I was coming up with wayslike only taking pictures of people whowere taking pictures of other people. I evenmanaged to take a picture of someone takinga picture of someone taking a picture. It wasawesome. Then I started taking four picturesof people. The rules were simple: I asked ifI could take four pictures, they’d say ‘sure,let me pose’ and I’d say “NO! Right here andstand perfectly still!’ and then I’d take fourphotos from various angles and distancesand sometimes I’d even pose people whoweren’t in the photos.So, before you write me saying‘Why don’t you use pictures by REALPHOTOGRAPHERS.’ And I’ll say ‘Because,this is so much more fun!”And away we go.There wasn’t much parking. In therain, after having brought myself and AndyTrembley up from San Jose to Linda’s,and then headed off to Emeryville for theconvention. Linda and I have done two ofthese before, so we now one thing: get thereearly enough to get parking. This wouldprove to be a very good thing. We got to theHilton Garden inn, a Brutalist structurethat was once a Holiday Inn and not one ofthem that broke the mold.Walking in, we were greeted with theregistration tables even before we got in thedoor! That’s the kind of thing that I like: noway to miss it. Vanessa Applegate greetedme warmly and less than a minute later weran into Chris Fisher, who we’re big fansof. We chatted, got our badges and thenheaded in to the Dealer’s Room. The firststop at any Steampunk convention afteryou’ve gotten your badge should be thedealers room. I was quite pleased to see thatthere were many familiardealers in there, butthere were a few otherfolks who were there thatI’d not seen before. I wasquite pleased to that therewere a few book sellers.The big deficiency atSteamCon was the lack ofbook sellers. The dealersroom had a table fromThe Lovely & TalentedLinda’s friend Sally, andthe Foglios and variouswonderful other people.We wandered about, andLinda was feeling a bitworn out after havingbeenheadachyandsleepy all day and I wasa bit frazzled from havingdriven an hour and a halffor what should havebeen in a 45 minute tripin the driving rain. Wewent down to the lobby
and there the con really began.You see, there is something wonderfulabout hotel lobbies. I love them. I thinkthey’re magical, in a way. They attractpeople, even if there’s nothing anywherenear the lobby going on, you’ve always gotsomething that brings you there. I’ve spentmany, many hours sitting in, talking in,flirting in, and just plain enjoying a lobby.We took up positions right in front of thefireplace, in the comfy seats. Chris Fisherjoined us, doing her knitting while sitting onthe stone edge of the fireplace. We chattedand people started floating in and out of thelobby, stopping to chat and just enjoying theambiance. I was most happy to be there.After a while, Eli, our good friend whowe see quite often at cons, came by andasked for my statement that I was runningon for Mayor of San Francisco.Oh, did I forget to mention that?Mitch Kapor posted that GavinNewsome was running for Lt. Governor andthus, the Mayorship of SF could be open,and as such, I threw my hat in the ring viaone of the most popular Twitter users in theworld! True, there are a couple of problems,such as the fact that I don’t live in the Cityof San Francisco, but I have a solid case formy being mayor. My platform: More Seals!The Sea Lions (hereafter known as Seals)have left SF’s Pier 39 and swam up the coastto Oregon. I will bring them back! No moreout-sourcing of our seals! Also, I will startthe paperwork to bring Starfleet Academy toSan Francisco! These are my platforms!OK, back to the con. People werefloating by and Linda managed tograb one of the program books. Theydidn’t have them at the RegistrationDesk when we got there for somereason, but I didn’t notice. Lindamade a few points about the book:no map was the biggest problem. Thehotel isn’t exactly the best markedplace, so we had trouble finding someof the rooms at first. The 14th Floorwas where most of the programmingtook place, but Linda could onlyfind the names of the rooms andnot what floor they were on. Thesethings happen. Part of it was theyalso renamed some of the rooms, butthere weren’t enough signs around to guidefolks. Facilities are always tricky.We managed to run into just abouteverybody we knew. Our Canadian Cousins,Mike Perschon and Blaine Kehl, swung byon their way out to BevMo. It’s alwaysgood to see those magnificent Canadians.Randy Smith, a friend and currently writingsemi-regularly for my zine The Drink Tank,came by. He was only going to be there forsome time on Friday and then Sunday afterservices. Randy, you see, is a Minister, sohe was engaged in the morning. Bunchesof folks came by and we were all a happybunch of Steampunks in a row!Linda and I eventually got veryhungry and headed into the dining room fordinner. It was a Buffet and it was expensive.Still, it was better than the Domain for foodoptions at the hotel since they were openin the evening. The Friday night buffetwas OK, chicken pasta and spaghetti withmeatballs. I wouldn’t say it was thrilling,
but it wasn’t bad. I was glad to get somefood in me because I was starving. Therewere a bunch of folks around and I wasfeeling that feeling again, the one that Igot at both SteamPowered and SteamCon,where you’re right at home with a bunch offun and funky people! Charging 18 bucks(before tax!) on a buffet like that was nearlycriminal.We left the dining room and headedup to the 14th floor, finally having figuredout that was where things were. Therewas a nice little museum’y thing set upin one of the rooms. There were a pair ofPenny Farthing-like bikes in there thatwere awesome! I had seen one on the net,somewhere, but the other was up thereand all cool and stuff. I There were smallmodel things and a couple of decoratedoutfits, including the famous spoon corsetmade by the lovely miss Gail Carriger. Wetook pictures and laughed and chatted withpeoples. We headed into the main ballroomand Brass Farthing was there doing theirsinging. Irish drinking songs and the like,which is always fun. Luckily, they didn’tsing The Parting Glass, or I’d have come allover with crying and the like.After Brass Farthing there was theCan-Can, which was awesome. It was thefirst time I’d actually ever laid eyes uponone of the folks on my Facebook friends list!These things happen. I was pretty muchout on my feet, so Linda and I headed backto her place. I read Lost History, the book Iread every time I go over to Linda’s.We woke up early and made our wayto the Hotel. We barely got parking. It was8:25 in the morning. It was going to be atough day for some folks. We grabbed a bitto eat at the buffet. There was French Toastand sausages. These things are good. Wesat down and there was a group at the nexttable talking about Charles Babbage and theDifference Engine. They then started talkingabout the Computer History Museum! Thisnever happens! I was so glad to hear thatfolks knew about the museum, and theyhad been at the opening for the engine backin ’08. Wheels within wheels We headed back upstairs again, thistime to see what was going on. I had myfirst presentation. It was the second timeI’ve given Those Wacky Victorians, and itwas a lot of fun. I had also given the talkat SteamCon back in October, and I thinkthis version was a bit better than that one. Italked for about 45 minutes. The room wasabout 1 2 full, which is a goodly number.The main ballroom had been split in halfand each half was one of the programmingrooms. This mean a lot of folks could comeand hear the panels and talks. There weren’tmany questions, which is usually a badthing, but I also got laughs for the stuff thatwas meant to get laughs. Always a plus.After that, we headed back to themuseum where there were also the demosand such. Julie Porter had her automatonsthere, which were amazing. One of themwas period, which was incredible. I’ve neverseen one from the 1850s, but she’s got one!
You gotta love it! I took a bunch of pictures.There were also knitting, sewing and variousother demos too, which were well-attended.In fact, it got a bit crowded at times, but Iliked after the things all in one place.After my panel, I went and did apodcast with a podcaster named ChrisLester. I was happy to do it and it turnedinto a very good little conversation and I’mhoping that I get to hear it soon. The conhad been good enough to give him a set-uplocation so that he could do his recordingwithout being disturbed.After that, I headed down to Kevinand Andy’s room to join Linda and the boysin watch Melodifestivalen, the SwedishEurovision Song Contest selection showthat they broadcasted on the internet. It wasa fun show, and in the end, the pixie-ishgirl won the contest and will be competingin Eurovision in May. It’s awesome as thegroup I hated lost.After that, it was time to go and see apanel. Mike Perschon was on a panel aboutSteampunk philosophy with Tom Strange,Liz Gorinsky and a couple of others. I wish Icould have been on that panel. There was alot of talk that went over my head, but therewas a moment where someone asked wherethe Punk was at the Steampunk convention.I pointed out that the Punk in Steampunk,as defined by the famous letter to Locusby KW Jeter, was more an humorousartifact in its referencing of Cyberpunk andsplaterpunk than it was a serious commenton the content of Steampunk. This didnot seem to go over too well. Still, it was adecent panel, with Mike taking his studiousapproach to Steampunk and trying to bringit all into focus.After that, we headed downstairs. Wewalked through the Dealers Room when weran into Chris Fisher again. We asked howshe was doing and she was not happy. Theparking lot had filled up and she had topark in the Chevy’s lot, who told her thatshe could park there for three hours at themost. She walked across and asked whatover parking options there were and shewas told that there was a parking lot acrossthe freeway and she could park there. Shedidn’t feel comfortable having to park inwhat was described as an ‘Abandonedshopping center’ and walking dressed asshe was really wasn’t an option, so she leftearly. This was a bad thing. There wereseveral empty parking garages aroundthe hotel, but they were all closed andunmanned. Now, as I understand it, therewas a much greater than expected turnoutof day-trippers, which meant they weretaking up a great many parking spaces. Thissort of thing should be planned for. A call toa garage company can often gain you anemployee who will be able to take paymentsand allow for more parking spaces, butapparently this was not expected. Thiswas also a problem at Steampowered backin ’08, which should have told them thatthis would be a problem. It’s somethingthat really needs to be fixed with the nextedition.We wandered about and got somelunch at the Chevy’s. They were slow,seemingly getting a fair bit of business fromthe convention as there were a lot of folksin top hats and corsets, so they were eitherSteampunks or big Lady Gaga fans. I hadan appetizer, Linda had a Marguerita. Itwas good.We walked back over and took upresidence in the lobby again. More andmore people came galumping by, includingBryan Little and Mette Hedin. They weredressed up brilliantly, as usual. They’reawesome! I was working on Twitteringabout the event, and after a bit, we hadto head up to see Mike Perschon’s SteamWars panel, displaying what Steampunkwas by comparing Steampunk Star Warsand the original Star Wars. By subtractivemeasure, you’d be able to have a stronger
definition of what Steampunk is. That’sa good technique, but the real fun of thepanel was seeing the awesome images thatpeople created. The Centennial Falcon wasmy favorite.We headed down to the lobby againwhere a well-dressed young lady wasstarting to do a painting. I got a few picturesof her early and a picture or two as sheprogressed. It was a fine little work. I tooka bunch of four photos, getting some veryconfused looks from people. It was a lot offun. Our Candian Cousins, Mike, Jennica,Blaine and Kim, came down along with ourpal Kevin and we headed into the buffet.Mistake.While cons have little to no controlover the food options at most hotels, thiswas particularly bad. The food was prettyweak, and if you were a vegetarian, well,you were in trouble. The soup was scalding,but flavorless, the prime rib was awful andthe salmon was non-existent for most of themeal. There was also this potato stuff thatwas odd. I’m not sure how they did it, butit was textureless at the same time as beingflavorless, yet still identifiable as a potatoproduct. I was shocked. It was a fun topic toriff off of at the table, though. We had manya laugh and if there’s anything I’m thankfulfor when it comes to the whole Steampunkthing, it’s getting to know these finehumans from the other side of the border.They’re great and incredibly fun people. Iespecially enjoyed introducing them to myclassic game Eaten by a Rabid Tiger. Here,you take some who died and simply say thatthey were ‘ eaten by a rabid tiger’ and thengive the scenario.By way of exampleDid you hear about Corey Haim?Yeah, he was eaten by a rabid tiger. It gotout of it’s cage, was bit by a rabid dog anda radioactive spider, which meant that therabies progressed at supernatural speed,and then it ate poor Corey Haim, who inhis drug-addled stupor, mistook it for CoryFeldman.Yeah, it’s like that.We ate and chatted and had a goodtime. It was great. They were all dressedup, with Jennica wearing the awesomeboots that she showed off at SteamCon. Iwas wearing my traditional Fred Flintstoneshirt. I wore it to Steampowered by accident,it is my favorite, most comfortable shirt,and I’ve worn it at every Steampunk conI’ve been to since. It’s my signifier, I guess.We finished dinner and headed up to theevening events.We first stopped to chat with HowardHendrix, Gail Carriger and various others.I’m a big fan of Howard’s and Mike, Howardand I have done panels together and tendto have a lot to chat about. I was againaccused of holding court by passers-by. Itwas weird. Gail’s a great programmer forcons. She’s done wonderful work with bothSteampowered and Nova Albion putting on
great panels and gettinggreatpanelists.That,and she put out a greatromanticsupernaturalbookinSoulless(asopposed to Steamed, whichwas a decent supernaturalromancenovel).Goodpeople.We headed into themain dance room andcaught a bit of the Bartitsudemonstration. It was aninteresting demo, though Imay have come in a littlelate and there was no demoof how to use the overcoatas a defensive device andthey used masks and such,which I understand. Mostly, it was stickfighting, but it was interesting.After the Bartitsu demo, there wasmusic and it was loud, but a few peopledanced. Linda and I sat down and chattedwith Catherine, the younger sister of my goodpal Jason Schachat and a fine costumer,too. It was great to see her, though we didn’tget to talk for very long. We talked with ourCanadians, and then the Main Event of theevening was the Dollymop fashion showfrom the good people at Dark Garden. Itwas a neat line, I loved the clothes, the vestsand corsets. It was an amazing to see, butthere were simple flaws. First off, the lightswere still in the very low position, whichshould have been brought up at least a bit.The models were great and there were somelovely bits of dancing and performance. Itwas well orchestrated and I’m hoping thatthe line does great business. Autumn ofDark Garden is a wonderful person and shedid herself proud.After that, I was just too darn wreckedand we headed back to Linda’s place forsleep. Linda’s so pretty when she’s sleeping.
No, I don’t watch her, rubbing my handstogether like Mr. Burns, but when I wakeup before her, I just can’t deny that she’sthe cutest girl ever!We headed over to the con early, andwith the events of the previous eveningmeaning that we had to go to Denny’s.Denny’s is great for breakfast and they havethis thing where you can get free refills onpancakes or French fries. Just a note. I hadmentioned to Mike that whenever I ordereda Make-Your-Own Grand Slam I neverordered eggs, and universally the waitresswill say “No eggs?”. Mike didn’t believeme, but Linda witnessed it happen! I amvindicated with that.We headed back to the conventionand it was going to be the big day forprogramming. We were pretty muchblocked the entire day, starting with GirlGenius Radio Theatre. We’d seen themdo it at SteamCon and it was huge. Thistime, they didn’t have their regular crew(Cheyenne Wright had a heart attack andI’m sure everyone wishes him a speedy andcomplete recovery) so they chose folks fromthe audience, including a lass who I’d beentalking to and had the most satiny shirt ofthe entire con! Also in the cast was CaroleParker. It was an entirely cold read, exceptfor Phil and Kaija Foglio, and it was really,really good. I had been out of the roomwhen they were casting, so I am cursingmy tiny bladder! Costing me my chance atfame once again! There was also a seriousNeil Gaiman look-alike in the audience. Hewas cool. They debuted a new story, AgathaHeterodyne in The Big Date, and it was alot of fun. I think Kaija is just fantastic asAgatha. She just dives right into it. Thenagain, she probably IS Agatha, so she’s gotthat going for her.After that, I had three straight panels.The first was about Steampunk Fandom. Itwas Liz Gorinsky, an editor at Tor who wasthe brains behind Steampunk Month backin October, Mike Perschon, Jean Martin,with whom I used to edit Science FictionSan Francisco, and Daniel Sawyer, whodoes podcast novels and writes various
so good and he’s got a sort ofwit that plays especially wellwith his great, sometimeswide-ranging, plots. I hadn’tgotten through all his work,which made me nervous. Iwent into it and rememberedthat it was being recorded fora Podcast. Christopher Lesterwould be recording it andthat would be on the web.Forever. Always. I’d never beable to escape its continuedexistence.The thing is, as I satdown, I felt pretty good. I wasrelaxed. I knew James fromthe two of us being Guestof Honor at WindyCon, andonce we got started, it camevery naturally. We got somestuff. It was an interesting talk, about the great stories, talked about his friendshipthings we’ve been doing with our forums, with Philip K. Dick, about his work withzines, podcasts and so on, and we got into Del Rey Books (which was a great set ofsome delightful snark as well. I mentioned stories) and a brilliant story about a pig andSteamed and everyone had an opinion. I a spoon. It was really good stuff.mentioned that it was available at Lucky’s,The audience appreciated it too. Ithe chain of grocery stores. Liz seemed guess that I just set up James for tellingparticularly disappointed with that fact. good stories. That pig story also featured aMike said it was a decent little book, andI pointed out that the final climax of thestory happened off-screen while two of thecharacters had sex. I also pointed out thatmy favorite part was the fact that the mainmale character was a Steampunk fan muchlike Mike and I. I plugged the zines, andTwittered the links and such so that folkscould go back and get the info.After that, it was over to the scariestpart of the convention: the James Blaylockinterview. I had set a goal for myself in theweeks leading up to the con- read or reread all of James Blaylock’s book. I made itthrough a The Disappearing Dwarf, The LastCoin, Lord Kelvin’s Machine (again), parts ofAll the Bells on Earth and I read some ofthe William Ashbless stuff. Needless to say,that’s not nearly everything he did, but itwas a good start. I also read a ton of bios anda couple of other interviews. There are somegood ones, though none of them seemed togo into much depth on the areas I’m alwaysinterested in. I love Blaylock’s stuff, it’s all
role for Tim Powers, which made me smile.The crowd enjoyed it and James’ wife saidI was much better prepared than the guywho interviewed him at WindyCon, whichwas really nice. I just did what I could.After that, it was the panel on GreatExhibitions and Faires. It was a slightlydifferent panel as Howard Hendrix, ThomasStrange (a former wrestler whose company,Chaotic Wrestling, is pretty awesome), aguy named Gwyan, and Ariane Wolfe. Wehad a lot of history dumped onus here,which worked for most of the panel, andAriane tried to see what we could do forthe Steampunk community within thatrealm. It was a slight bit disconnected, butit seemed to work. I had the Wikipedia entryon World Fairs (which is almost as good asthe entry on Steampunk). I had no idea untilthat panel that San Francisco is biddingfor the 2020 World Expo. We’ve got stiffcompetition, including Copenhagen, andwith interest in World’s Fairs being revivedby Expo 2010 in Shanghai, it’s a good timeto be bidding.After all of that, we ran into MikePerschon again and headed down tothe lobby and got to say goodbye toJennica, Blaine and Kim before theyleft. I like those guys, and I wish I hadmore of a chance to hang out withthem.After that, I was wrecked. I reallywas exhausted. I needed food, then Ineeded to get home and get some sleep.Linda and I headed over to the Chevy’sagain. I had a combo, which filled meup long enough to make the long triphome.Was it the perfect con? No, ofcourse not. There’s probably no suchthing. Was it a great time? Indeed. As I’velearned, facilities are often the problem.The Parking thing was really hard. Thesignage problem is easier to deal with,and it’s often over-looked at a lot ofcons. The programming was fantastic,and I’ve said that Tofa Borregaard isone of the best programmers I’ve runinto at all the cons I’ve spoken at.She put together a great group, didn’tseem to over-program any of them,and I didn’t hear anyone complainingabout the program she put together. Theprogram book was good, well-themed andexecuted, but it also didn’t have all theinfo that would have helped: a map of therooms, a better-organized listing of panels(alphabetical seems like a good idea, butmost folks don’t look for programming likethat) and little talk about hotel bits (like thefact that parking validations came from theFront Desk). Still, it was great to look at andI think it added to the convention.Naturally, you’re make comparisonsif you’ve been to more than one Steampunkconvention, and I’m no exception. I thinkSteamCon had a better hotel (better thanalmost any other con hotel I’ve ever been to,in fact) and they had more programming, butwere far too crowded. Steampowered was agreat time and it was a bit of a discovery of theentire fandom that we knew was out there,but had no idea how we’d all work together.The Domain is a great hotel, but we werekinda bursting at the seams. There was adifferent vibe, but it was also amazing. WasSteamX a great time? No question, thoughthere’s always room for improvement. The
most important thing is, you can still sit inMaybe that Mayoral thing only appliesa lobby and enjoy the passing crowd, meet to me maybe.good people, see amazing costumes, Tweetabout your mayoral campaign and have agreat time with your friends.
random nova albionphotos by chris garciamarch 12-14, 2010
It’s a lot of work putting together this kind of event, but the guest speakers andpresenters were wonderful, polite and enthusiastic. We had a great core group of volunteerstoo, some of whom pulled 12 hour (or more) shifts. I tried my best to create a programthat reflected different aspects of the steampunk world. By that I mean not just theliterature, the aesthetic, and the maker mentality, but also the sense of community andenthusiasm for education. I think I am most proud of the maker track, because every timeI stuck my head into that room people seemed to be learning and engaging and talkingwith one another. It’s the old Victorian spirit of intellectual debate and academic pursuitmodernized by the DIY crafts movement. I’m hoping next year’s Nova Albion only continueswith this kind of programming. - t. borregaard: nova albion head of programming

Steampunk has been a hobby that some have been indulging in for many years. It can challenge one’s patience when another, relatively new to the scene, declares that they posses a superior grasp of the concept. We must remember however that steampunk has no definitive meaning. Every steampunk enthusiast will tell you that it’s
