Last weekend I made the trek up North to sunny Doncaster. Well, mostly sunny; when we arrived the entire country seemed to be under a low flying cloud, but within hours the sun had got his hat on (hip hip, hip hip hooray).
Now in it's third year, Steampunk Doncaster ran with an Alice in Wonderland theme, which worked very well. It was accompanied by a tailor-made soundtrack, compiled by none other than the Gothic Alternative Steampunk and Progressive (GASP) radio show, which as you know, plays on Thursday nights on BLAST1386, 8-11pmUK, hosted by Steven C. Davis and myself. It was lovely to see friends made at previous events again - I've now attended every one of the Doncaster annual events. Do I get a badge?
We presented the Star Wars: Steampunk'd workshop, for what will be one of the final times; following the final, final presentations at the Phoenix Alternative Festival in August, we shall be retiring that workshop. Not to fear, we are planning a new one, oh yes we yarrrr!
But before Phoenix, and before our new workshop, there is of course the event on 18 July at Southcart Books, Walsall - namely Southcart's Splendiferous Steampunk Saturday, which will be raising funds for and awareness of the charity New Futures Nepal.
The programme for Southcart is now available - next week I'll let you have more details of the individuals taking part, and the raffle prizes! But for now, don't forget GASP radio starts very soon, and you can listen via Tune in or the BLAST app.
