drum-roll please
~*~Deborah~*~
I’m so happy to discover this blog, because I’ve become a fan of Steampunk and just started plotting a YA and now I know how to describe it.
Congrats Deborah. email me asap at suzanne lazear (@) hotmail (no spaces) so I can get you your tiara in time for nationals…congrats on your award and I’ll see you there.
It’s Friday–and a holiday weekend. Happy Independence Day! Have fun and be safe.
Need something to do? Check out the calendar section at Dieselpunkswhich has listings for steampunk and dieselpunk events all over America! (What’s dieselpunk, you ask? Dieselpunk comes after steampunk, roughly the 1920’s-1950’s when diesel was king, how cool is that?).
Here’s a steampunk band called Abney Park which I had heard of but hadn’t actually checked out before now. This is a video of their song “Airship Pirate” shot in their studio–which is exactly where a steampunk band should be rehearsing, the belly of the HMS Ophelia! I really love how they blend different genres and the violin adds so much. Check out their decor and costumes. Enjoy!
