OK, is it wrong that I feel like it's OK if everyone is dressing up as a lord/lady and swanning about in drawing rooms and whatever?

To be honest, it wouldn't bother me as much as it does if everyone doing it quit trying to put on a British accent. Pete won't go to steampunk things with me because he can last about 10 minutes before he wants to kill everyone with an affected accent.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I was much more excited about steampunk when it looked like there was going to be a stronger focus on the Maker Movement, and less about pretending to be someone else.

Also, apparently, about goggles.

Bleah. Goggles on gear-encrusted top hats = UGH.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

And for the record, "safari" is the theme these people settled on AFTER realizing that their first choice of "Darkest Africa" was maybe not a good idea.

So they realized that they didn't want to seem quite so clearly creepy racist and maybe this is less ... obvious?

Because, no, none of their ideas are okay.

Hmm, I've been forced by a work schedule to move my vacation up to the last week of October. I feel like Eureka Springs has become my routine vacation destination, but a staying in a haunted hotel on Halloween and going to a seance conducted by an illusionist/escape artist is a pretty unique opportunity, right?

But Steampunkish middle-grade fantasy novels are still cool, right?

IDEK. I know I'm planning on NOT being involved with the event, unless I can convince them to change the theme.

OMG WHITE PEOPLE WTF.

Yep, exactly.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
