NEW STEAMFEST

STEAMFest has been reimagined this year due to some scheduling and other such conflicts, but will still be just as fun!

The Fest will take place only during the evening hours but there will still be performances by the ARTC, Thimblerig, The Game is Afoot, and Karma Lingo!

See the previous blogs for links to order your tickets! It's coming up soon!

Third Annual STEAMFest!

There is more information in about STEAMFest 2011!

There will be a performance by the Atlanta Radio Theatre Company: a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving and promoting the art of audio theatre. Since their founding 24 years ago they have been performing live audio theatre at wide variety of such notable venues as DragonCon, Stone Mountain, the World Fantasy Convention, and now STEAMFest!

There will be a Victorian style wrestling match presented by Platinum Championship Wrestling (PCW). PCW presents crowd pleasing excitement and I'm sure their Victorian presentation will be no exception.

Also, there will be a staged reading of the new play The Adventure of the Capercaillie Bridge by Maegan Mercer-Bourne. This play explores the family life of Sherlock and Mycroft Holmes while the two brothers team up to solve one of their most baffling crimes!

And of course there will be an artist gallery with the best in Steampunk clothing, jewelry, weaponry, and artwork, a high tea, many exciting workshops, and panels!

Be sure to get your tickets now!

STEAMFest

Greetings everyone!

Thank you to all of you who joined us for the Midwinter Fling which was a roaring success.
The next thrilling steampunk event at the Academy Theatre is STEAMFest! Complete with music, costumes, plays, contests, vendors, and more. But, since that is not until April 8-9, you might want to get your dose of steampunkery from AnachroCon: February 25-27th. AnachroCon is the place in the South for science fiction, alternate history, history, and the most amazing costumes you'll ever see. Some of the featured events and visitors are Steampunk Boba Fett; historical reenactors J.D. Sutton, Bill Pacer, Scott Hodges; musicians The Extraordinary Contraptions and The Vauxhall Garden Variety Players; and The Gaslamp Gala, a neo-Victorian Dance, offered by the Artifice Club, who recently brought us the Mechanical Masquerade.

You do not want to miss this exciting weekend full of information and entertainment!

Good News for All

New Year's Greetings,

I hope you are all well and not too tired out from New Year's celebrations to join us for the Midwinter Fling. It is only four short days away! I have a few last moment announcements to make in regards to the Fling: Sadly, the Thimblerig Circus will no longer be joining us, but instead we will have the talented Jennifer Teeter: Ukelele playing singer-songwriter! We will the the fantastic art of Jason Thomas, and the possibility of a Victorian wrestling match.

I also have some exciting news of a personal nature: At last, after all these weeks of waiting, my brother has finally repaired the time machine! He will be able to come for me within a couple of days, then the two of us will embark on a tour of Europe before heading home. I look forward to seeing him again and introducing him to all the wonders of 2011.

Enjoy the Midwinter Fling, one and all,
