This may be a long blog, or a serialized blog due to all of the amazing experiences at the Upstate Steampunk Extravaganza.
For a short overview, I can only describe it as an elegant event – finally a con which blends the academic and the fan approach, from literature to history, technology to costume, music to the maker’s DYI ingenuity. Upstate Steampunk Extravaganza was a whirlwind journey through the alternate worlds. Set in an aesthetically stunning location, every attendee offered their own version of steampunk in every aspect. I was constantly inspired, in awe, and caught up in this complex genre. And the entire weekend, meticulously planned with a full range of vendors, panels and fun, was punctuated by those caught up in the energy, who spontaneously erupted into performances, duels, dancing and song. Thanks to everyone involved for an unforgettable, enlightening journey! A longer account with photos and highlights coming - I'm still processing it all.
