Recap of the Steampunk World's Fair

A little late, but I've been busy after my brief visit to the 3rd Annual Steampunk World's Fair! I visited the event on Saturday, and what a long Saturday it was! I was there from 11:30am to about 3:45am. It was insanely fun, and while there wasn't as many bands I was into, like the first year, I definitely had a fun time checking out the different performances, and catching up with friends, as well as making new ones!

To check out the photos, visit my Flickr set. Here's a brief sample:

Fire It Up

This weekend I was finally able to somewhat catch-up on photos. Finally cleared out many photos that were behind, so now I can focus on photos from May.

Saturday I attended a barbeque birthday party for two friends, that was titled The Paul & Kurt Show BBQ of Love, and made my awesomely-delicious watermelon-chipotle BBQ wings, which I set on fire once I arrived to finish them off. I just added half a cup of Everclear to the wings and lit them on fire before I was ready to serve, to help caramelize the sauce onto the wings and help to form a nice saucey crust.

Now I can focus on knocking out photos for Geek Girl Productions' May 2012 show, "Victorian Vixens," before the upcoming weekend for the Steampunk World's Fair.

An Update

Still catching up on photos, I have such a backlog it's not even funny :/

Switching my web site's domain and hosting to a new company, and it's been a slight nightmare, but I think it's pretty resolved for now... I think...

Got an email this morning that my flash has been repaired and en route, so hopefully I should have it next week.

Next week is the 3rd Annual Steampunk World's Fair, so yay!

2nd Annual Steampunk World's Fair

This past weekend was the 2nd Annual Steampunk World's Fair, held at The Crowne Plaza Hotel, in Somerset, NJ. I only attended Saturday and Sunday, skipping out on Friday. There were some setbacks from what I heard, but the convention moved on despite that all! Kudos to the organizers for forging on ahead, like the old railroad workers of times past. If there's an obstacle, either blow it up with dynamite or go around it.

I'm still going through photos, but here's a quick sampling:

Still going over photos from the Steampunk World's Fair, but I think I'm halfway done with my photos now... I think...

Steampunk World's Fair Overview

The Steampunk World's Fair was insane! A lot of great events!

I ended up taking just under 3,000 photos. Got to see a great band, Unextraordinary Gentlemen, who I didn't know was going to be there until I actually saw them! Met up with some new friends, as well as old ones. Did many photo shoots, as well as attended many presentations and panels.

Only down side was the end of Saturday night when my camera battery died. This was my back-up battery, while my main battery was still recharging back in my hotel room. Of course it died during the performance by Cosplay Burlesque and The White Elephant Society :\

The only other downside was being woken up by Emperor Norton's Stationary Marching Band at 4-5am in the morning on Sunday... awesome. Not.

I stayed at the Embassy Suites hotel which was nice, but the only downside was I needed to pay for wireless internet in my room, to which I said, "Fuck that!" Luckily they had a internet cafe that was free for guests in the lobby.

Now I'm slowly going through the photos. I was going through them in order, but the designers from Sunday's fashion show already started asking me about them, so I'm trying to finish up their photos first before I handle the regular photos.

Here's some quick previews:
