Any news on the dates and location for the Steampunk Convention in 2009 ? Also, what kind of classes, seminars, lectures, workshops are planned ? …or am I confused on the type of convention ?
There is a goodly number in SoCal that are very interested, but didn’t hear about the 08 Con in time to attend. Some of us are new to the concept/idea of SteamPunk, but are quite enthusiastic. Any tips, idea, info will be greatly appreciated.

Ah but my darlings, you must remember, this was the FIRST Steam Powered! Please do submit your information to our aethernet site (www.steampunkconvention.com) and we would be more then happy to review you for consideration! Keep in mind we are just getting off the ground, were at a smallish venue, and needed to get a feel for the desire of our esteemed Steamy folks to attend such an event. We will be at a bigger venue next year, so keep checking the aethernets for info!

. . .next year . . . I meant, obviously. Appologies for the typo. I was shocked when I found myself facing only two other stories in the contest. Lots of adventure writers would love to be hammering out steampunk adventures. They just didn’t hear about the contest.

“I think that the organizer’s might not be too familiar with the actual people involved in the scene, as like you noted a number of obvious people aren’t involved.”

Or with writers and bands who might participate. Hopefully nex year will be swamped with submissions -

Why is it that all these events happen in America. What about Britain!!

Alas I wish I could go.

Yeah I saw that too. I think they meant literally Vernian Atmosphere, as in “This is a Steampunk convention, therefore the atmosphere is going to be vernian”… lol.

I think that the organizer’s might not be too familiar with the actual people involved in the scene, as like you noted a number of obvious people aren’t involved.

Guh. That’s another galaxy far, far away by United. Gots to sell more books I guess. Got to finish my steampunk novel before I can sell it. More Guh.
