We don’t do a lot of one day shows, and this one was unique. Fun, creative… It was great for a small show’s first year, and I really look forward to seeing what it becomes.

In August in the historic downtown of Frederick, MD, there is a Penny Farthing race. You know those Victorian bicycles with the huge wheel? Yup, people race those. Steampunk Frederick was located at a small theater about a block away, with all sorts of interesting creative types. It took a lot of adjusting to figure out how we were all setting up in the odd spaces of the hallways and small rooms, but once we worked that out it was a fun, long day.

We got our almost two tables worth of space along a wall across from the entrance to the actual stage.

Thank you neighbor, we think you’re awesome too!

Hello again Momo! It’s fun seeing rennaissance faire vendor friends at the steampunk shows.

And our steampunk vendor friends, bringing out their awesome costumes!

Steampunk Dalek and a penny farthing. I love the pairing.

Awesome Steampunk Tardis!

Great costumes are definitely the highlight of a steampunk event.
