“Everything is becoming science fiction. From the margins of an almost invisible literature has sprung the intact reality of the 20th century.”
~J.G. Ballard
“What is this ’20th century’ of which you speak?”
~science fiction
If you haven’t attended a convention (or a festival like ours) before, you may not be as familiar with panels and discussions. And we do tend to blur the lines a bit.
In general, we try to offer panels on a wide variety of Steampunk, science fiction, fandom, geek, Goth, Renaissance Faire, and other related things…from tips about attending, to how to become a vendor or performer or creator, to stories from the field, to discussions of almost every size and shape.
We have fewer panels than many conventions, and a lot more music, art, dancing, and culture, especially the wild and fabulous culture of Steampunk, which has the benefit of largely being made up as we go along. But we’re quite proud of the panels and discussions we have, and we do urge you to seek them out.
If you’d like to suggest a panel, or participate, do email [email protected].
