Upstate Steampunk Extravaganza And Meet-Up at Hilton Garden Inn
September 30, 2011 at 10am to October 2, 2011 at 6pm
Join us for a weekend of Steam. There will be academic panels for those of a scholarly nature and classes for those that are more fun oriented. There will be vendors, a drum circle, and the Upstate Steampunk Ball. There will be costume contests and the crowning of Mr. and Ms. Upstate Steampunk. Break out your best goggles, your spats, your hooped skirts, and your sense of humor and prepare to party like it’s 1899.
