Steampunk World's Fair 2012 photo 4

These pictures make me regret not going even more! My time and $$$ situations weren't right for this. I have been to events that Jeff has put on in the past and I can promise you that if you can find a way to get to one, you'll enjoy it.

So knowing what steampunk is determines if a reader is well informed or not? So basically somebody is not well informed if they don't know about something you know about? I am well informed, I read a lot, I have seen the movie and TV series but I had no idea what steampunk was and would have had not reason too before this article. Does that make me some uninformed individual? Of course it doesn't.

The original poster had a valid point. Would have taken all of a few seconds for the author to add a one line description of what steampunk is.

To each their own and I do have to commend a number of those pictured for the amount of work that went into these costumes but hip? Maybe I am lame but since when has dressing up as a fictional character and going to a convention been even remotely hip?
