Hi all, so I'm thinking about directing a steampunk movie. I'm not sure what everything will be yet. And as of now I don't even have a legit camera. But that might change within this year.
If anyone is interested in acting and portraying steampunk characters in a movie please respond to this post. This will be a great way to show off whatever you have made. A costume you made that looks phenomenal. Or you may have some other talent related to Steampunk.

If anyone has a movie idea please email me: star_dust125@hotmail.com Subject line: "Steampunk Movie". 

A little about myself: I go to school in Bethlehem, PA (which could be used for location places) and I currently live here in Massachusetts in the summertime and holidays.

I'm a graphic arts major and studio arts minor with a big interest in animation and film making as a hobby on the side.

If any one of you has any experience in filming and/or directing and would like to help out please respond.

I like film making because you have a wide range of talent specified areas that can be easily filled when you have found the right people.
This is a non-paid volunteer job, it's a great way to show case anything you've made, your talent, and film making skills. If you are looking for something for your portfolio this is a great opportunity.

If you are interested in acting, please create a video and act out a scene from your favorite movie or a scene from the script once it's been written, then send the video to me by email via youtube.

We're meeting at Cafe Pamplona, 12 Bow Street, in Harvard Square. Drop by between 1 and 3 pm next Saturday.

Dear Friends,

Always wanted to know how to make a pair of steampunk goggles? How about a Victorian ball gown?


Please join us for an afternoon of tea and costuming at Cafe Pomplona (Harvard Sq) on July 18th, from 1pm-3pm! During the tea steampunk accessories and vintage reproduction clothing pieces will be shown and discussed. Come listen and learn about how historical clothing and steampunk garments (respectively) are created and can be fashionably worn on the street!

Guests are encouraged to bring any current costume or historical projects they are working on or have completed. If you've sewed it, built it or glued it together, we want to see it!

Feel free to wear a costume or modern clothes. We'll be thrilled to see you either way.


Hope to see everyone there!


Sincerely,


Maya Attia
and
Barbara Pugliese

Yep.

If I'd'a thought of it a few weeks ago, I might have proposed a meetup celebration.

Oh, well.
 

There is this in NY where we will be at this event taking the photos that will go in the "101" book I have been charged to put together by my agent(http://www.dystel.com/) that will if all goes as planned be in every book store all over around this time next year . So you come to this and or Dragon con, there is a good shot at being in print photos in a real book.

For more info of this yearly event go here.

Also for you who do not wish to drive and have something to sell, show off or wish to do.

For the first weekend of August in Oxford, CT, I have a two day out door event looking for you humans
: http://www.midsummermagickfaire.com/
They are looking for clothing, jewelry and whatever vendors of the Steampunk persuasion. They are also looking for performers, music acts, etc for the two days as well.

If this sounds like something you're up for, email me at Jaborwhalky@gmail.com with the subject "I want to be in CT" Then I will put you in touch with the people running the shin dig so they can give you more details and hook you up with the good stuff.

Hey again
has anyone put together any SteamPunk related links
or listings of shops in the area?
I work nights so I was hoping to get out to a few places.
tahnks

sorry I missed the picnic

You might want to check this place out: http://www.dorothysboutique.biz/index.html

I "discovered" it the other week. Pay little attention to what's shown on the website; they have much more interesting stuff in the store.

Got goggles, got a pocketwatch. They also have lots of hats and, oh, all sorts of props and other stuff. Worth a look IMHO.

 

They're telling me this is "summer." Heh.

Hey all I apologize for taking a little bit to pass these on but here is the link to the photos I took at the Picnic. Feel free to use them how you want just please give me photo credit.

Enjoy!

I mentioned the book of family tintypes to someone at the picnic- here they are.... Some of these were taken in Massachusetts, and some of them are from Nebraska. I like this picture the best of all them!

Old West Gallery is where I bought my period steampunk pants & shirt. They carry a lot of what Gentleman's Emporium does for less. The website isn't all that great, but the savings more than make up for it.

From now through July 4th they are having a 18.5% off sale on everything, simply type in "july4" in the promo box on check out.

 Hello Fellow Steamys!

I am also a photographer, and was curious if people would be interested in sitting for some portraits I wanted to do in daggeurrotype. Let me know! Feel free to im me on aim at lightbringer35.

 If anyone knows any steampunks down in Connecticut, the Captain and I are taking the Icarus down there until August.

We have a place to park from the 12th onward, but are looking for a few driveways to park our 25ft rv, and maybe take a shower! ^_^ 

Right now, the Icarus needs the carborator rebuilt, so we can't afford one of the many campsites in CT as our fundage is nil until August. Lame!

Contact me at whispermerlot at yahoo dot com

Much love,

Whisper

Please see the rather wordy Comment I added to Radegund's note below...I had to edit it three times to get it below the character count for posting!

During the conversations at Saturday's picnic, I know that there were various topics that someone said, "you should post that to the LJ community." I figured I'd put up a reminder for those of us who made such promises. ;)

The thing I said I'd post is the URL of my blog, New England Science Fiction and Fantasy Events, which is a calendar keeping track of geeky events in New England: http://nescifievents.org or follow the feed at nescifievents.

Sgt. Moustache, I think you had some movie event you were telling us about?
