Hi everyone!
the Deadly Nightshade Botanical Society is looking for help with a music video for our song Belle Araingnee from the upcoming cd Accoutrements and Odditeis.
The video will be set in a parisian nightclub in a time that never was. Think steampunk Moulin rouge! We are looking for people to portray denizens of the club, bartenders, waiters, and tango dancers
We are also looking for help with people to actually film the video. or to take still photagraphy. our plan is to do this all at sodo pop, and participants will be given our eternal gratitude wine and snacks.
More details coming soon, as we have no firm date set yet, but anyone interested hit me with a comment here or at
dizzy@dnbs-music.com

thanks!

My favorite random steamcon moment was being in the bar on saturday afternoon. I was walking by a group of people who were hotel guests not afiliated with the con, they stopped me to talk about my outfit and then one thing led to another and we had a fifteen minute conversation, and I found out the three of them were also New Orleans natives, it was a lovely small world moment as we discussed how much we missed good gumbo and cafe Dumonde.
They, and everyone I talked two not directly involved in the con were curious, but polite, interested, but sincere, the hotel staff an other guests may have been staring, but it was at the beauty and diversity of steampunk, and not like we were three armed freaks...

Well it's all over. I had a wonderful time! This event was well run and well attended by some of the most amazing people ever. Performing with Abney Park was an awful lot of fun! So yea stemcon and back to work. Halloween costumes to make and a cd to finish up.

Friday- Hang out with Abney Park at steamcon..Slip away long enough to find the fabulous steamy stitches girls from Ravelry. Try to find the steamrats. Attend the AP accoustic show while meeting up with the Pacific Northwest steampunk group from Steampunk Empire, take tons of photos.

Saturday -Be very Lazy  sleep in.. or as late as the cats will let me. Head down to the con in the evening complete with 3 veils, one sword and alot of whimsy and do the gypsy gypsy shake for Abney Park at their stage show.

Sunday----- Sleep............

I wish I had pictures, but cameras aren't alowed in 1857. Last night Robert and I attended the candlelight tour of  Fort Nisqually. It was perhaps one of the most beautiful and amazing historical experiences I think I've ever had. Small groups are led through the fort which is transformed into an actual night from oct 1857. The night being reinacted is the celebration of a wedding of some very important members of the Hudsen bay company.  The entire place is lit only by campfire and candlelight, and unlike most of the reanactments I've been to the people who were part of each vignette completely ignore you and go about the events of the night.
Some highlights were the two blacksmiths who had to miss the party to get things done and they were incredible, they were making these little iron pot screen holders right before your eyes.
Another favorite was the general store which was closed for the night, however there were two unscrupulous charactors pretending to be guests and making for hilarious and suspicious commentary from the stores owners and a few of the forts upstanding citezens, including an american military officer who's costume was incredible!
Another little house showed a family complete with seamstress, bagpiper, women spinning and carding wool, once again the reinactors were perfect!
and finnaly the kitchen, which was loud, rauckous and alot of fun. The reinactors showed the key differences between the people who worked as part of the company, and the servents and their zest for life, in direct oppisiton to the serious and bussiness minded people who ran the company and lived in the main house. However, the wedding party and their guests had incredibly gorgeous costuming, all in all it was an amazing and memeroble night, and I feel so lucky to have been part of it.

Here are a few photos from vouge's steampunk night in support of steamcon!
