the guy with the giant gold monacle and the fake English accent?
The painfully bad fake accent, you mean? On the level of those suburban high school kids who think they have to mimic the accent when they sign along with "The Wall"? Yes, he did look spectacular.
And, for the periods I could politely eavsdrop while concealing my giggling face, he was spinning a nice yarn.
Aaaargh, yes. I really, really wanted to thwap him with my parasol.
Hee. But he has a MAGIC MONOCLE that lets him see THINGS UNSEEN.
Cool video!
Franks, it's down a little ways toward the river from Mass Ave. [link]

Dear Steampunk Peoples,
Many of you feel you need to have an entirely made-up persona to dress extravagantly. THE GOTHS DON'T FEEL THIS WAY. We just dress up.
(And I say this as someone who has LARPed and would cheerfully join another LARP if I could be assured that Certain Stupid People wouldn't be part of it)
Nice. My favorite bit in the Post video is Jilli's "My first book..."
Watching SteampunkMonocle was actually painful for me.

Pshaw. I bellow orders when I'm Commodore von Hochtritt.
Wait. I bellow orders all the time.

Thanks, Nora! I had a dim memory it wasn't quite on the main drag in Central Square from something I read about it.
Oh, I do remember the "Goth on Tuesdays?" conversation! I would love to catch up with you folks and have a meal, I just don't know when.
She'll be pleased to be remembered. Apparently she also called Pete the "A" word (What? Okay, I might have mentioned it to her), but he didn't put her On The List. "A" word's only a problem in certain contexts?
Shall we exchange cell#'s? Or just chat at your table on Friday - sorta let you see the lay of the land before making plans? Or both?
