A Steampunk Ball!! What a brilliant idea!

I’ve been a Steampunkian for years, and this is the first time I’ve seen anything in Canberra for the genre.

I hope it is a great night. Have fun!

There’s going to be quite a number of fat controllers, me thinks.

There are many subgenres of steampunk, this makes it easier for people to know how to dress (less punk, more steam)

Personally I prefer Neo The New Wave Of British Speed Steam Punk.

I suspect calling it an’1880s steampunk ball’ is quite close to a tautology
