bonnie_rocks | Steampunk World's Fair!!!

This weekend was spent in Piscataway, NJ at the Steampunk World's Fair. I went there not knowing what to expect, as I didn't actually understand what the genre was. I did many things ranging from learning about Victorian archetecture to watching a hysterically funny circus street show, and a super awesome fire show done by Hubris! The music acts ranged from absolutely fucking awful (so awful I can't remember the names) to really super awesome, like Coyote Run and the Emperor Norton's Stationary Marching Band :-D

The cabaret was looooong. I was in and out throughout...waiting for the end of it at which time the Burlesque Show would happen. I was really pleased to see both women and men of all shapes and sizes performing in the show. We didn't get back to our hotel room until almost 4am. eep!

Other highlights of the weekend include:

Getting to hang out with people I rarely ever do anymore.

Bumping into

thecatinthehat :-P

Hula hoops, even though I suck at it. It was the people around that made it fun.

Complimentary alcoholic drink and any additional $1.75 each at Embassy Suites just because we were staying the night. Super sweeeeet :)

Complimentary buffet breakfast. Nom nom nom.

Jacuzzi this morning. Soooo relaxing :-D

I got a really nifty purple Victorian hat. I might just have to take a picture of it with my webcam.
