Steamy goodness!

So this past Sunday was a glorious Seattle day, and a delightful opportunity to gather with other Steampunks at the EMP Sci-FI Museum at the Seattle Center! At High Noon we met up at the monstrous building, and spent a couple hours perusing the museum, chock full of props and books and fact-revealing plaquards. Then we (marched? paraded?) head off to the local pub for lunch and pints to get to know each other better.
It was a real pleasure to meet everyone! Everyone looked simply smashing and were so kind and fun! Many laughs were had, and yes, we snapped pics:
( Photo goodness! )

All told, we had 21 (23?) people show up for the museum, and 19 of us continued on to take over McMennamin's! Yummy food and good company. I had a little headache when we left...from laughing so much! Afterward, Lauren, Celise, Befu, and new friends Brett and Jason, joined us back for some Rock Band time (Amy and Erik and Simon had to call it a day, sadly, and Anna and Krystal...what was your excuse?!). We ended up playing for HOURS...so long and with such mirth we went well into dinnertime at which time we ordered pizza, drank beers, and played a little more. We called it a night about 9:30pm--what a day!

It was unanimous: we must do it again soon! Even skeptical Krystal is a convert!

So...a crafty costuming day together soon?
