Do you ever feel like you are looking in all the wrong places for steampunk attire?
Well, a bunch of us are purging our closets and you can reap the benefits!
Clothing, jewelry, shoes, crafts and more will be for sale or possibly even barter.
On Saturday July 11th at the All Pilgrim’s Church (lower level) we will be holding a Steampunk swapmeet/jumble/garage sale/ flea market thingy. It is the unifying theme for this event, but not a strict parameter. We are sort of time traveling sales folk, which also fits the genre, don’t you think?
July 11th
All Pilgrim’s Church (lower level), 500 Broadway E, Seattle, WA 98102.
Noon to 6:00 PM.
Admission is free.
(All the selling spaces are sold out, so no more inquiries please)

helix90, Lawrence and I ventured into Georgetown to explore Artopia, an arts festival. We found it to be a bit too eclectic a mix of styles, but there were a few interesting things. We handed out flyers for Steamcon and talked to folks. After about an hour in the sun, we sought refuge in Calamity Jane's fine establishment. We took a few photos of our adventures. You may view them here"Any Seattle Steampunks wanna add to Dohickey's Traveling Journal? I'll be bringing it to the next meet up at the Wayward Coffeehouse next Monday (June 29). Let's hang out, overcaffeinate, and scribble to our hearts' content!"

I even have a new piece for you. It's another piece I was working on just before the computer melt down. I made greeting cards, postcards and postage stamps. Let me know if you want to see it on any other merchandise. I can put almost any of my designs on any type of merchandise. I am also open to doing custom pieces for you, like your photos on stuff. just drop me an email.

To be fair, more of them work than don.t But those that don't have some amazingly bad flaws. Frustrating.

helix90 wasn't up for dressing up, but I of course could not resist. I decided on a new variation of my Queen of Hearts since it would take no explanation. I'm not sure I'm happy with how the make up came out, but I think it worked overall. The night started out slow, but it was quite crowded towards the end of the night. I had the extreme misfortune of being the first contestant. One of the judges told me afterwards that I had very high marks and they loved my outfit, but that did hurt me, as the audience wasn't warmed up yet. All the winners were couples. A couple wearing almost nothing but Starbucks aprons won for their "Naked Baristas". They could have benefited from helix90's much better title of "Bare-istas". The couple as Death and Dream were good. I was not impressed by Marie Antoinette and her Musketeer. I told the judges that I feel the audience participation portion of the vote, was really pointless. It generally means you have the most friends, not the best costume. At least they didn't make us dance. 
A couple more pics. I didn't take very many this time.
Now to dress as the Queen of Hearts for another event.
Life is good!
Anybody else going to this? I'm thinking about it, but I don't know if I'll have the energy after the train outing. Also, I have no idea what to wear to an unthemed costume event! If enough other steamfolk are planning on attending, I could do that. If I'm feeling really ambitious I could do Scarlett, Violet or Kelly. Any opinions?

About how many people do you believe were there?
Were most of them dressed up?
What's the best steampunk event you've attended?
What made it so good? The camaraderie? The music? The activities?
Particulars:
All Pilgrim’s Church (lower level), 500 Broadway E, Seattle, WA 98102. Set up will be from 10:00 AM to noon. Doors open to the public at noon and close at 6:00 PM. Admission is free. Vendor spaces are $20 for a roughly 6’ x 6’ space. The tables available are not equal in size and there aren’t quite enough for 20 vendors, so it will be first come, first serve. Please bring your own table or rack if you wish. Load in will be through the back door and there is a small set of stairs to go down. Unfortunately there is no elevator. There are only two loading zones so we ask that you be courteous of others, and get unloaded or loaded as quickly as possible.
If you want a vendor’s space, please contact me at artvixn AT hotmail.com. First to apply get the slots. Payment will be due by check or cash by June 12th payable to Diana Vick.
Feel free to pass this info along to anyone who might wish to sell or buy at the event.

It was a busy steampunk weekend for us. I took a few pictures. Some from the Steampunk Soiree and a few at the Clang Bang Cabaret.
