Conbust, March 30 – April 1, 2012, Smith College, Northampton, Massachusetts. We will be presenting Welcome to Steampunk, Science in the Age of Steam, and demonstrating how to make your own corset pattern with duct tape. For the demo we will need a volunteer who wants a corset pattern bad enough to look ridiculous in front of everyone else. High on fun, low on dignity…

Steamtopian Spring Picnic, April 15, 1pm, Washington, DC, organized by the Society for the Advancement of Steamtopian Ideals
We will begin to gather at the Titanic Memorial (http://en.wikipedia.org/
Hey, great to have met ethe Family at the Soundry. I greatly enjoyed the opportunity to share ideas with you about my steampunk-themed motorcycle…how delightful to talk to kindred spirits.
Copper-wrapped exhausts, oxidized fuel tank, railroad lantern headlight, and wood fenders…why not?
The Delight was ours as well. Can’t wait to see the on going project. Keep in touch.
Reenergized after having just rescued a 100lb drill press (now up and running) from the landfill, I’m now scouring back alleys and dumpsters for steambike components.
Stay tuned for updates from the aether…
Landfill drill press? Fantastic!
Unfortunately, finding a working (it just needed a belt) drill press in a rubbish heap will ensure that I will haunt dumpsters and back alleys for the next decade, in the hopes of finding something as spectacular…pieces of dirigible aluminum framework, hoops of copper wire, a working Corless steam mill…
So…if you need anything drilled in a repeatable, accurate manner, I now have the tool for it…just let me know what you or the Schoneluft may require…
Madame vonHedwig,
Would you family care to join us down in Terminus April 16th for the Clockwork Carnival? Talloolah and I think quite fondly of you all and would love to have you in attendance. Keep up the amazing work and I am sure we’ll see each other soon enough.

Had a great time meeting you this weekend! Truly enjoyed our fun photography session. Thank you! Jessi and I can hardly wait to see how the photos turned out. Looking forward to seeing you again in the future, or is that the past?
Nice to meet you as well. Pictures are up of FB and hig rez are on Flickr for download. Let me know if we need to email you some.
My dear Doctor, as much as we would delight in spending time with you and the delicious Talloolah, we are seriously traveled out and must take April off. Need to work on portal technology to bring us closer together!
Not sure where I picked up your card, but very happy I foudn it. You guys do awesome stuff. Cant wait for Cherry Blossom. We, Albus Cavus Collective will also create an installation for the festival so I’m sure we will run into each other. Thanks
An installation! I shiver with anticipation! Looking forward to meeting you.

I haven’t gotten a chance to buy fabric for that corset.
You have until next Conbust to turn in your work.;) Remember to use canvas (or other strong, non-stretchy fabric for the lining). Since you were not in a position to take notes during the demo, feel free to contact either of us with questions, or check the corset making posts for info.
