steampunk party

[SkittlesMeTimber]

been falling in love with the aesthetic behind this genre. i was thinking we should get a little get together based around it. Good eats, wine, champ, movies, costumes all based around this genre. who likes this idea?

last one is if you're feeling top hat-ish. google image search too, if you like. what's so cool about steampunk is how adaptable it is. wanna be a mad scientist? done. aristocrat? yep. Pilot? for sure. soldier? yup.

I support this idea.

... I just don't know what I'm gonna wear. So many choices.

[Kyle]

I should be up for this, can't guarantee how much work I will be able to put into it though.

[SkittlesMeTimber]

Well, we agreed on canada day so we have plenty of time.

my goggles are 50% done.

[ifer]

You are fast.
I have some misc nuts and bolts from dad, a shirt and pleather booths from my mom, and 8 possible designs so far and counting.

[SkittlesMeTimber]

goggles will be 90% done. Need something for lenses.

plastic wrap maybe...dont really wanna get custom plexiglass or any of that

[Kyle]

Hmmmm, you could try some of the clear plastic that comes in packaging. It shouldn't be too hard to find and it's easy to cut. It shouldn't crinkle either.

I think I have the coat I'm going to use and I'm fiddling around with some ideas for a modular wrist gun and a wrist explorer's package.

[Kyle]

How are the goggles coming along?

[SkittlesMeTimber]

done, save from lenses.

[SkittlesMeTimber]

Perhaps due to HOT weather we could move the date back a bit, sayy...halloween or summat? may give us a bit more time for costumes too

[ifer]

*blinkblink* well that pushes back the urgency.

Hey Kyle, when are you doing your B-Day party? Might I suggest a combo? Always assuming the same list of attendees, of course.

[ifer]

Also, wanted to mention that the guests we're having on Canada day are okay with us having it here and are even excited to see us in costume.

[SkittlesMeTimber]

well fair enough

[Kyle]

We could do a combo, I'm up for doing it on Canada Day as well, though costume progress is slow.

[ifer]

We could always make this a recurring thing, and improve on our costumes each time.
