This transmission brings you an assortment of oddments, including a sartorial and historical lesson from Sir Brandon Fitzroy Hill, Master of Blades and Hats; and, notably, a partial reconstruction of a most educational conversation with Jake Von Slatt himself ( I am quite hopeful that the rest of that Maurice will be successful in rescuing the rest of that conversation from the damaged communication cylinder). As always, Correspondent Chris Fisher provides the latest in happenings both corporeal and virtual — notations are below.
Be sure to check back with us when we make port again at the beginning of November! Read the rest of this entry »

A few events slipped in after the upcoming episode’s data cylinder was sent to the HMS Astrolabe, but that doesn’t mean everyone should miss them!
This Saturday the 25th, a Steampunk-themed day from 11-6 at the Brooklyn Indie Market will feature a 2pm fashion show. Look for the red-and-white striped tent in Carroll Gardens at the intersection of Smith and Union Street. http://brooklynindiemarket.com/images/400×519_bim.jpg

For your amusement and edification, please allow me to present a pair of aethernet essays on the nature of Steampunk.
The first is from Stephen H. Segal’s recent column on Fantasy Magazine.
And I would be extremely remiss if I did not point you towards the words of Bruce Sterling himself in a post on GOGBOT.
