SteamCon is quickly approaching this upcoming weekend in the lovely environs of Seattle, and it looks to be an outstanding event! Unique to this exposition is the fact is it is “Steampunk Only”, something that has not been done before to this extent – perhaps a test of Steampunk viability as a unique genre.
The entire endevor has a multitude of events taking place, so although I am unable to attend, I was curious what was happening when and conjured the following schedule of events
Thursday, the 21st of October
Though not an official SteamCon event, an “Evening of Cabaresque” will be presented by Miss Oblivious, at the “Can Can”, located in Pike Place Market (downtown Seattle, by the waterfront). For more information, please visit:

Alas, I will simply have to kick the can at not having the opportunity to visit this year’s SteamCon. However, as the event has sold out, and with word of the exciting schedule of events it holds spreads, I am confident that the promise of SteamCon 2010 will be even better!
