Chattanooga Steampunk

Chatt. Steampunk,

    I attended Adventurecon in Knoxville on Oct. 13 and 14.   This was a totally new experience for me so every impression was significant!   My first impression was how cordial everyone was.   There was a definite sense of comradship among all con-goers.  I was dressed in my Phineas duds and I received many compliments although since this was a SiFi convention everyone wanted to know what "character" is was appearing as.   One young fellow said "Awsome" when I told him I was Steampunk and my name was Phineas W. Sprockett, cyclist.    Of course the most used compliment was,  "You look so dapper", which is good---I think. 

    Only one young lady, a jewelry vendor, recognized the Steampunk ethos although she was selling some Steampunk items.   I didn't see anyone else dressed in the neo-Vic style so among the many Star Wars, Space fantasy characters and Indiana Joneses, I certainly stood out.

     I attended the Costume contest and a Q. and A. session by an actor who appears on the Walking Dead series.   Both sessions were quiet entertaining.

     Is Chattanooga hosting any cons in the near future?   I would be interested in attending and if any of you plan to be there, in meeting you.

With Best Wishes,    Phineas W. Sprockett

Greetings to all,

   I consider myself a rank novice.  I live in Knoxville and hope to meet  you eventually.   Please have a look at my profile.   I would appreciate your correspondence and invaluable assistance as I become more comfortable in the Empire.  Is anyone attending Adventurecon in Knoxville on October 13 and 14th.

I will be there the morning of the 13th and the evening of the same.  I will be wearing a black derby and carrying a walking stick with a silver band and an inconspicuous deer antler handle.  

I hope to meet fellow Empire members there.

Faithfully,     Phineas Wotan Sprockett, o.c.c.

Just moved into the general area (Cowan) looking to possibly meet up with a few people.

Chattacon is one of the cons that I am off on sebatical.  I am on staff of Liberty Con, which is another Chattanooga Convention.

Excellent!  Are you helping out at the Con?  I was there in 2010 for just a short while (illness intervened), but there was a Steampunk Makers Panel that was really great.  Ex Libris, I believe, and Captain Billbill were there, among others, and the Professor X steamchair was exhibited.  Most impressive.

Cheers!

Hello, Chattanooga!  Who is going to be at Chattacon next month?

I hope to see the lot of you there.

Well, we are here, finally and for good.  Sold the Maryland house (ouch) and starting to get settled.

Does anyone have a preference for a meet-up location? 

 

Cheers!

 

Chas.
