Greetings from the Gulf Coast,
I don't rightly recall if I introduced myself before or never got around too it, but as I am hoping to be a touch more active at long last here it goes...again possibly!
I have many interests and have gradually found that many of them seem to have a place somewhere within steampunk, or at least steampunk seems an interesting lens to look at these things through. I am also a homesteader in one of the wonkiest bits of the south climate wise, though I suspect actual swamp dwellers would argue that and perhaps envy me my pine woods...as such that too colors much of my interests, whilst giving me room to experiment when time permits.
A quick sampling of interests: traveling carnivals (calliope anyone?), steam locomotives and railway folklore (you can slap folklore on most of these and be right), live steam, tinkering on/building engines and assorted machines, hydrogen for heavy lift, rigid hull airships, gremlin/goblin/nocker folk and how they might associate with the technologies of the 19th century, the 'wild west' period in old Florida, clockwork and automata of all sorts, early electrical devices, and the fanboy squealing inducing style of steampunk in general from on the town attire to oil stained mechanic-wear, oh and telling tales around all of this especially if puppetry could get involved.
So that's me, or me as applied here, thanks for reading, I'll be over here polishing this odd brass gewgaw with the 'do not push' button clearly labeled.
