How To help needed: gater belt

SierraNightTide — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 17:40:54 GMT

I have a belt that I took a part and saved only 2 pieces -- looks steampunk. There's a hole at the top and bottom and I want to use these parts to make a steampunk looking garter belt one for each leg in the front... not sure how though - ideas?

steampunk music?

isaac anthony — Wed, 21 Nov 2007 06:27:17 GMT

so

I was thinking about music that made me conjure images of "steampunk" and the best thing I could come up with was NIN "closer" because of the train sounding beat with the piano was giving me a contrast of new/old world feel to it. I make techno and I was thinking of samples to integrate. So far I'm thinking hitting pipes, steam whistles, trains, piano and harpsicord melodies, probably with some punk sounding guitar riffs.

Any of you have sounds/bands that instantly conjure up the steampunk feel?

Steampunk Themed Show needs Participants - Albuquerque, NM

Christina — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 16:40:58 GMT

It's the late 1800's. You have access to whatever technology you can dream up. You are part of a traveling band of balkan-gypsy-steam punk performers, including the loveliest bearded lady in the world, dazzling magicians and jugglers, and strange and beautiful dancers from far-off lands.

Want to join? The Mile High Riot is holding auditions, and we are looking for a few more "Rioters"!

Calling all actors, dancers (Burlesque, Belly, Ballet and Modern), contortionists, jugglers, knife throwers, acrobats, puppeteers, hula-hoopers, magicians, stilt walkers, object manipulators, poi spinners (no fire please) and sideshow spectacles -- if you have a talent and a desire to perform, we want to see it! If this project sounds interesting to you, we encourage you to audition.

The show will be Oct. 29-31, Halloween weekend 2009.

Even if you don't want to be in the show, we are encouraging attendees to dress up in thier finest attire.

Auditions will be held June 28th, please contact us for location info.

What is Steampunk?

kaltes — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 02:37:02 GMT

How would you describe Steampunk to someone like me who always seems to find out about things right as they are loosing their oomph. I thank god for that fact when it came to teletubies and Beanie babies but sometimes left wondering about some things that I really could get interested in.

I'm a noob and I'm not afraid to admit it. I'm into so many other things that probably relate enough to steampunk that it seems like a step in right direction to follow my intrigue and interests.

BTW: I'm a seamstress and jewelry designer so I'm always trying to keep abreast of the wicked trends.

Does anyone here watch the BBC productions Dr Who or its spin off Torchwood?
Do they get shown in the US of A?

Anyway, Torchwood is a British Government Organisation set up by Queen Victoria to protect her Empire from aliens and such like. Though the series is set in the present day there have been plenty of flash backs to by gone ages. Yep Victorian's with alien technology.

I lliked the series a lot but loved the episodes where the past was shown.

What Is Steampunk To You?

Kaleena — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 06:21:03 GMT

Okay, so I think we're all in general agreement as to the definition of this subculture but what does it really mean to you? Is it a political or artistic movement? Is it a lifestyle, a hobby or can the universe go on with knowing that it can be both? Is it essential to be a DIYer or can one sit aside and simply take in the birthing process? How much further do you think it has to go? Do you sketch, blueprint, plan or create? Am I overthinking this? ;)

I ask because I am relatively new (compared to many of you, I'm sure) to the steampunk genre and am truly interested in others' viewpoints. I'm a dancer and endless conversations are made solely from discussing ones' beginning in dance and this is one of the few forums that (at least from what I've found, sorry, I abuse parenthesis') steampunk can really be discussed among people of different backgrounds so I'm curious to see what everyone else's experiences have been. Where/when did you fully realize this genre and what does it mean to you, if anything?

SteamPunk Newbie,
Kaleena

keeno — Fri, 08 May 2009 14:37:37 GMT

Hi everyone,
I am an aspiring author and I have an idea for a book or a series of short stories. I am at that awful stage in the whole creative process. That is to say, I have some images in my head, a few ideas fermenting in the creative juices but I need to put some flesh on them.

Why do I need your help?

Well....... I want to write a sci-fi novel. The big idea is the adventures of an officer in the British Empires Colonial Space Marines. Or more simply the Victorians in Space.

I guess that falls into the catogury of steampunk. So any ideas about how spaceships are/were built. Attitudes. or books I should read would be greatfully received.

Is this steam punk?

TheGaslightTroubadours — Wed, 06 May 2009 09:47:55 GMT

You know, we did this compilation based on a lot of the values that steam punkers seem to aspire to. Although I'm actually relatively new to the concept of steam punk I feel it's a culture that I've been into for years. And this "vaudeville" comp to me is exactly what the ethos of steam punk is about. I don't know if you feel the same, but it feels more steam punk than some steam punk bands I've heard ... so maybe it would be worth having a look? Also, my new collective The Gaslight Troubadours is pretty much advocating the same thing here in the UK. So if anyone is interested here are some links ...

Parkour Demonstration by Primal Fitness -
Parkour is an art of movement in which you
train the body and mind to overcome obstacles. A parkour practitioner uses their
surroundings to improve their ability to move in space. By interacting with obstacles, be
they urban architecture or the natural environment, the practitioner becomes more
comfortable controlling his body and navigating any terrain. The application of parkour is
efficient traversal when circumstance necessitates it, such as being chased, or needing to
reach a destination. Being that parkour is made up of a lot of movements that are natural
to the human animal, the body is strengthened evenly and synergistically, meaning all the
parts of the body learn to work together. http://www.Primal-Fitness.com is DC’s home for parkour.

padrhaig — Fri, 20 Mar 2009 17:30:47 GMT

Good day unto all
As I am expanding my skills as a photographer I had a chance to do a steampunk / victorian shoot earlier this month. I am also hoping to do a tea party shoot later in month(s) as warmer weather comes. Please take a look and enjoy. These were taken at the JC Raulston Arboretum in Raleigh NC

Steampunk Paper Doll game link.

Swink — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 17:08:32 GMT

This link was sent to me and I thought it was pretty well done. It is like those vintage paper doll cut outs where you dress up a character. But this one is a free computer game that has steampunk attire you can put on a character. Like slinky, it's fun for a girl or boy who likes to be a steampunk fashionista.

Geared Heart

Bill — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 17:08:56 GMT

A friend sent me this link to a Japanese paper artist who has made a heart with gears. All out of folded paper. I know this isn't exactly steampunk, but the gear heart motif has been used often enough in steampunk that I thought people might be amused. Here's the link to the video on YouTube Japan:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70dKZjP4NOo
It's in Japanese but see the video response for a subtitled version.
And here's the artist's web site, also in Japanese but there are pictures.

Looking to meet some people to interview about Steampunk for a school project

Ajah — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 00:55:59 GMT

Hi, my name is Ajah & I'm a student at Las Positas College in Livermore. For my Anthropology class this semester I'm doing a study on the culture of steampunk and the people associated within the culture. I learned about steampunk from a burning man friend & have researched all over the internet to learn further about it. I'm amazed I had never heard of it before because it's absolutely amazing and fitting to me in many ways! Anyhow, for the project I need to be able to interview several people so I'm reaching out to see if there is anyone willing to meet me for coffee or such & give me an hour of their time to talk about steampunk. The interview would be focussed more on yourself, your views of the culture and such rather than a history of steampunk itself. I live in Oakland, but I am available all over the Bay Area & up to Sacramento area as well. I also have tickets to go to the Abney Park concert in San Francisco in a few weeks.

If anyone is willing to meet with me in the next few months (the completion date for the project is in May) for an hour or so in person, please contact me! I'm not very familiar with tribe network, I've barely used it, but I can be reached at e-mail: Ajah_Silva@yahoo.com if you are interested and willing to meet for an interview. I promise it will be painless & I'm even a fun & friendly person.

Thank you!

The Edwardian Ball comes to Los Angeles for the first time

Sasquatch — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 07:38:48 GMT

Disclaimer: I am no way affiliated with or paid by the Edwardian Ball or its component members in any way whatsoever...

THE EDWARDIAN BALL

A splendid San Francisco tradition flies south for the winter to the historic Tower Theatre in downtown Los Angeles, presenting an elegant, turn of the century celebration of music, theatre, dance, circus arts, DJs, ballroom dance, fashion, technology, and of course, the art and stories of Edward Gorey!!!

Featuring:

ROSIN COVEN (Creators of the Edwardian Ball)

Rosin Coven, your Edwardian Ball Hosts, dreamt up this spectacle long ago in a dust-covered martini bar in the middle of a bleak desert. They proudly continue the tradition of bringing a Gorey story to life each year in partnership with Vau de Vire Society. Eight musicians blend violin, two cellos, bass, guitar, harp, vibraphone, trombone, drums & lush vocal harmonies in a strangely beautiful mix of classical, jazz, chamber, purplego, klezmer, sultry lounge, theatrical cabaret, and cinematic dreams.

VAU DE VIRE SOCIETY

Spawned from the depths of San Francisco’s thriving Dance and Circus sub-cultures, the Vau de Vire Society has ravaged and titillated the live entertainment scene causing jaws to drop in awe and admiration around the Bay Area and beyond. This Avant-Cabaret community consists of classically-trained dancers, some of the nations most acclaimed acrobats, aerial artists, contortionists and circus side-show acts, an array of unique fire-performers, a handful of thespians and a barrage of the most enticing go-go’s. The group has been cross-pollinating genres by collaborating with an eclectic variety of world-renowned musicians and Dj’s in creating original stage shows and festival productions for the non- pretentious. Most notable collaborators include Cirque du Soleil, San Francisco Symphony, Peaches, the Alkaline Trio, The Dresden Dolls, Fishbone, Rosin Coven, Crystal Method and many other widely respected artists.

CIRQUE BEZERK

From the grey cement sprawl and the gritty train tracks of industrial Los Angeles emerges the color and glitter of Cirque Berzerk. Cirque Berzerk makes fantasy come to life. Performing individual acts, roaming characters and full theatrical productions they dance on the high wire of sensual wonderment. Spear-headed by husband and wife team Kevin Bourque & Suzanne Bernel, Cirque Berzerk is a tight-knit family of performers who have banded together to put our unique spin on the face of contemporary circus theatre. From stilt walkers to stunning aerialists to punk rock clowns, they work together as a cohesive unit to produce visions of sexy fiery burlesque, dramatic flight and vaudevillian tomfoolery.

And so much more, including...

HELIOS JIVE
DJ XIAN
Dark Garden
Jill Tracy
Miz Margo
DJ Delachaux
Evil Sarah

Plus...

Vendor Bazaar, Portrait Studio
Absinthe Bar, Ballroom Dancing
Edwardian Couture and more!

Dress up!

Edwardian, dandy, late-victorian
Gorey inspired, bohemian, carnivale
attire thoroughly encouraged!!!

Saturday, January 31st · All Ages
Doors Open 8PM-3AM · $25 Entry
$75 VIP (Reserved Seating & Absinthe Bar)

Steam Punk Mutant Vehicles at Night in Black Rock City

Mon, 05 May 2008 05:45:22 GMT

If your creating a mutant vehicle for Black Rock City on a steam punk theme, please keep in mind that one of the rules established by the BLM is that "all motorized vehicles will be equipped with adequate front and rear lighting during night hours". The Department of Mutant Vehicles is also reviewing for side and trailer connection illumination.

Not everyone wants to comply with those requirements with el-wire, rope light or blinky lights, but the safety requirements must be achieved in order for the DMV hotties to license you for night operation .

I'll offer up indirect ground illumination under the vehicle as one method of low level lighting. Any other ideas?

Save Our S00j and get steampunk stuff

lavenderfae ~ Wynne — Sun, 04 Jan 2009 23:05:19 GMT

Musician S.J. Tucker is facing huge medical bills (http://community.livejournal.com/saveours00j/467.html) , and a lot of her friends and fans are helping her raise money for that.

There are a number of auctions and offers to that end, and some of them are steamy!! Check this out:

http://community.livejournal.com/saveours00j/11763.html

Cleothyla's wristwarmers are pretty steamy.

Five Auctions by Rosefox include a rare and out of print steampunk book.

Clockwork Egg is "steampunk goodness"

And SalonCon, which is a very steamy event, chose S00j as their
charity for 2009.

Might be other steam-worthy things there, too. Take a look!

For Steampunks in the SF Bay Area who like to partner dance!

astrakim — Tue, 23 Dec 2008 09:09:56 GMT

For those of you who like to partner dance but don't necessarily like to do it to standard jazz music or the stuff everyone else listens to, fear not!

Come join us as *Swing Goth!* Every Tuesday night at Fat City on 11th Street in San Francisco.

We do partner dancing with a darker tinge: all-inclusive gothic and alternative musics, and we're always looking to welcome new faces. In our continuing endeavours to be more inclusive, we want to expand our aesthetic and repertoire to include steampunk in with our gothic.

And best of all? FREE open dancing!

Rotating lessons from 7-8pm, drop in lessons from 8-9, and FREE! dancing from 9-closing. You don't even need to bring a partner! We'll find one for you.

Every Tuesday at Fat City in San Francisco! And we're having a special Yule dance event on Dec. 30th! We'd love to see you there!

Swing Goth can also be found on Tribe: http://tribes.tribe.net/swinggoth

hi...an introduction

Eli — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 06:23:47 GMT

sorry, I put up my stilt listing (below) without introducing myself.

Hi, I'm Eli. I've lived in Santa Cruz for 17 years, and now I'm moving to Berlin next monday (!!!!!!!!).

I met some steampunkers recently who bought my vintage sewing machine, and I just dug them, dig? Dug. I'm a bit of a Luddite/tech-scrooge and yet am fascinated with the merging of ancient and future. I keep myself pretty up to date with technology, but I despise the greed and horrible design that accompanies it. I find creative fashion trends way more interesting than the latest fucking iPhone magic trick or Facebook Fairytale. And yet I feel strongly that technology can have elegance and art merged with it. Maybe I will do up my white iBook G4 with some rusty-esque pettina. Any suggestions on that?

Anyway, suffice it to say that although I'm not a full-bore steampunker (I don't ever seem to be a full-bore anything in terms of styles), I really do dig what it seems to be doing and the people who seem to be doing it. Hook me up with a SP event in Berlin if you know of any.

thanks.

(and buy my stilts. it'd be great to have them live on in such good company as yourselves.)

Announcing Portland, Oregon group- Rose City Steampunks

stormfeather — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 17:37:06 GMT

Announcing Portland, Oregon group-
Rose City Steampunks, Local 23

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/rcsteam

This group was created with the intention of facilitating
communication within the Steampunk community in the Portland Metro
area.

In the past, we have relied on using Brass Goggles and Spare Goggles
for our communication about events and meetups. With the recent
problems at the Brass Goggles site, and not wishing to use up too much
bandwidth at the Spare Goggles site, we decided to create this group.

This is the place to post notices about upcoming events, meetups, and
to have general chat of interest to Portland area steampunks. Please
come in, take a look around, post your photo, add a link, put your
event on the calendar, and leave a message. We hope that this will
become a comfy spot on the Interweb for all!

Custum steampunk headphones and motorcycle helmets!

Wed, 10 Sep 2008 17:40:20 GMT

I've currently had some luck with some custom steampunk headphones which double nicely as a "hands but not wires" free kit for a mobile phone. Basically there British army tank crew headphones converted from military six pin audio to conventional jack to jack sockets then sprayed, plated or wrapped in different materials. I've done gold, brass and leather and am working on converting the helmet for a turrent gunner into a motorcycle helmet at the moment!

I've posted a photo on my profile so if anyone wants a tutorial or me to source them some parts i'll be happy to help!

Steampunk ball Sept 6

Gregory — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 14:15:26 GMT

A Victorian Ball in Space
Rule, Britannia!
Britannia rule the stars!
Britain’s flag extends to Venus, Mercury and Mars!

Don't miss PEERS' third venture into the world of Victorian Steampunk: Space 1889 - a Victorian Ball in Space. Program your Babbage Analytical Engines, sail the luminiferous ether between the worlds to this Nineteenth Century science fiction ball, and keep Venus British!

The year is an alternate 1889 in which, thanks to inventor Thomas Alva Edison, computer engineer Thomas Babbage, software developer Ada, Countess of Lovelace, visionary scientists Herbert George Wells and Jules Verne, and many other distinguished men and women of science and engineering, the Victorians have air and space travel, high technology, computers (analytical engines), calculators (difference engines), efficient software (the versatile and elegant ADA), and even email (“electric messaging”). The Great Game has extended to Outer Space with Great Britain, Germany, Russia and those intrepid Americans rushing to colonize every planet in sight. Welcome to Space 1889. This is the milieu of our ball.

Join His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales and His Excellency, the Governor of Her Majesty’s Crown Colony of Venus, for a formal ball to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of British rule on the planet. Diplomats, explorers, scientists and artists from Earth and from around the galaxy are cordially invited to attend.
