The Widow Kate Next replied to Wendy Zdrodowski's discussion The Castle of Death - the case of H.H. Holmes in the group Just a Bit of Arsenic"The monster deserved a slow killing for what he did to those poor folk. But that's just my opinion, and if we indulged in it, that makes us, not quite as bad, but close enough to becoming monsters ourselves."
The Widow Kate Next replied to Wendy Zdrodowski's discussion The Castle of Death - the case of H.H. Holmes in the group Just a Bit of Arsenic"I'm not ashamed to say that I did have a good chin wobble and felt way choked up when I read it. Alice mentions feeling cold, not having a good coat against the Michigan weather, missing home, et al. I felt I had to read it because if all we…"

Mistress Rose Thorne replied to Wendy Zdrodowski's discussion The Castle of Death - the case of H.H. Holmes in the group Just a Bit of Arsenic"I recall a book quite some years ago, paper back with I believe a grainy picture of what was (susposed to be perhaps) the castle and in a dramatized documentory style. I was taken with it enough to use elements of it in a RPG, always a benchmark for…"
Prof. Sebastian Fate replied to Wendy Zdrodowski's discussion The Castle of Death - the case of H.H. Holmes in the group Just a Bit of Arsenic"' Devil ' is a great read and Holmes is an astounding monster . His last reported words ( to his executioner ) were " Take your time , old man . ""

You are just a five hour drive away from what will truly be one of the major steampunk events of 2012, the inaugural Steampunk Empire Symposium to be held in the last weekend of April at the Atrium Hotel in Cincinnati, Ohio. This is the first official gathering for Steampunk Empire and will also prove to be one of the most affordable cons of 2012. Early bird tickets are on sale already for $30 until the end of the year, we've negotiated a great deal on hotel rooms starting at $59/night for a double, and parking's free. We do hope that you and your friends will journey down from Chicago to join us. To learn more see the events page on this site, or visit www.steampunkempire.org. Huzzah!

First off thanks
We are making a SteamPunk movie it a very good script and is a true steampunk setting but in our infant wisdom the whole time we were there filming in Chicago we never got street level shot of the route we took out of town so we need some street shot stills are fine. I we be asking others as well it a fair amount of pic. Here goes this is what we need a shot of East Walton st out side the Rose Bud Steak House looking toward the lake one each side and down the middle ,then turn and same shot toward Michigan then down Michigan to Jackson Blvd (IE the start of route 66 then down route 66 take shot for a few block the same way (one down each side and one down the middle. Then form a car looking down the street ever so often head toward St. Louis (it a lot to ask so as I siad I have ask other in the area as well we are hope we don’t have to come back the we can get what we need. again thank you hope you can help.
If you can help send pic to aqsteamnm@yahoo.com

Tobias Killick, Esq. said… - My Dear Ms. Zdrodowski, I read your reply in the thread "'Why are we carrying so many weapons anyways?', and must say that you spoke what was on my mind almost exactly. Good to see I'm not the only one. Cheers, my dear, and as usual, the first round is on me!
Humbly yours,
Killick, RSM Ret

- Fair enough, 200 miles or so is not exactly local . . . therefore I challenge you to form a Chicago group and recruit the finest and the badest steampunks in the Windy City under such a banner! : )
PS: Have you seen how cool our steampunk'd Ohio flag looks?

- Also, have you seen the Southbend Salon group under Groups? They're in Indiana, but near Chicago.

- I am very honored to recieve your invitation to judge at the masquerade, and this is certainly a new incentive to make it up to Chicago in November. I am meeting with Tina on Saturday (for our Time Travelers' Picnic) and we will discuss how serious is the likelihood of either of us attending, so I should have a clear answer by the end of the week.
