Just a quick update to give some more information about the upcoming (10 days and counting) Retro and Steampunk two day festival in New York – the Dances of Vice Steampunk Festival, 8th and 9th of February, 2008.  Firstly, there will be prizes awarded to the best dressed revellers – categories including Best Victorian Gentleman, Best Victorian Lady, Most Steampunk, Dandy Highwayman, Most Bizarre and more!  The prizes sound (and indeed look) fabulous – from magazines and convention tickets to tricorn hats and frockcoats.

Ms Jaberwhalky is facilitating those who wish to meet up before the event – either to mingle, socialise or just get directions to the location.  After the event, there’s a meetup on the Sunday afternoon for brunch for those who’d like to keep the weekend going a little longer!  RSVP a table soon, if you’d like to include that.  So two days of theatre, music, dance and costume – followed by an optional afternoons brunch – delightful!

I’ll be attending the event myself, all the way from the West Midlands, UK, so I very much hope to see some readers there!  I have to say – I’m rather excited to be going to New York (my first visit) and I’ll be making a week of it – expect me on those shores on the 3rd!
