steampunks in springtime

[bassspine]

hey ho, just prevaricating a while before I finish packing for Steampunks in Springtime down near St Austell. Are any other BG members going?

It promises to be a good weekend to get myself ready for Waltz on the Wye the weekend after.

In photo #55 (Prof Elemental on stage with some members of the audience by the look of it)..is that someone with a blacked up minstrel face I can see in the background!!!???

no, two of the 'volunteers' were wearing small plastic animal masks while the Prof. performed (you can't see the other mask-wearer for some reason: I had had several sherberts by that time and the photography may have suffered)

i'd love to have a car like that (until it started raining anyway)

The white steamer? It had a very clear personality and did pretty much what it wanted: it wouldn't go far from it's chosen spot, and happily chuffed back. It also marked it's territory with a dribble of heavy, warmed engine oil.
