thos wacky airship kids, whatever will they think of next

So this fellow I know, Robert, has this goth band, right, called Abney Park, and they dress up in distressed leather and wear goggles and pretty much represent all sorts of things that are good about Steampunk. Now, and this is where it gets good, Robert has done so well with this niche of a band that they were hired as the entertainment on the maiden voyage of the new commercial Zeppelin that is about to be launched in San Fransisco. All of this is very cool, very net chic, and very, very fun, but my favourite part of this particular gig so far, (as he tells me this is not the best thing, "not just yet, but I have a plan.") is from the SF Chronicle article:



Please note, as well, that in the article, they describe Steampunk as "Jules Verne meets the Victorian Age"! Memory refresher: Jules Verne, 1828 – 1905. Victorian Age, 1837 - 1901.

i thought you'd be POSTING A LOT OF PHOTOS.

I WILL BE. I've been catching up on my Flickr. They're back-logged all the way to June. I'm now up to August.

*sadface* It's all the moving we've been mired in, I don't have time to be on the computer when I'm at home. I haven't even been able to take a minute to clear my cards. I should have all of Sunday though. At least, I'd better, or who ever interrupts shall feel my tiny woman wrath.


Should I say Hi to ma'am Palmer for you when she's in town?

San Jose!! My roots!

...Sure, now that I'm hundreds of miles away...

and tickets might well be a million dollars, yeah.

[wileypeter]

Yeah, if I had the cash I'd be flying to Australia for a master class anyway.

Still...it's fun to dream...

I love Abney Park! I should have known you'd know someone in them.

They must be thinking of another Jules.

How do you get Facebook to direct to your LJ instead of importing the contents into Facebook formatting?

[porphyre.livejournal.com]

It's a livejournal option.
