Revolution of Steam

About 2 years ago now, my friend and I started putting together a LARP with a Steampunk theme called Revolution of Steam.  Its plot involves a diversion in the known time stream where the Black Plague never died out. After the near total decimation of the Human Race, it set us back in our technological evolution roughly about 287 years, effectively putting the Industrial Revolution (or the Age of Steam) into present day!


So check out what we had up until the point that we pooped out on it.  Perhaps we'll pick it up again some day.

 

Oh the early days of my Steampunkery

When I first started out I picked a name I liked and the name of a scientist and jammed it together to create the name Bridget Newton.  . .  I didn't really fancy it but it was the best I could come up with at the time.
Now. . . . A couple years later, I've more of a clearer vision of what Steampunk is.  The fashion/style, music etc. Now I have given myself a new name . . .. Pandorica Pond

This year's Guinness Book of world records has a 2 page spread in which there is a photo of the largest Steampunk gathering ever is shown. My family, friends, and myself are actually in that picture!


I'd love to give a shout out to my friends the League of S.T.E.A.M. who are in the front row there.

I only wish my favorite Steampunk band Steam Powered Giraffe were there too.

Here is some of my Steampunk Journey throughout the last couple years:


The Steampunk Themed Repo! show that we did

Wonder where I'll be in another year . . . .  .
