Are you feeling steam, punk? Are you?
What sounds like a really cool interactive steampunk (whazzat?) event will benefit the Electronic Frontier Foundation Austin on Monday, March 12 at 7 pm at Scholz Garten.
The oldest little pub in Texas will host an interactive showcase called, ”Futures of the Past: A Steampunk Adventure.” Austin’s White Ghost Shivers will share their musical talents, and so will a local vaudeville troupe. Oo-la-la! But the evening’s highlight sounds like the Modern Marvels exhibit, “...which will hold visual and interactive artworks from local and national artists who specialize in Steampunk styles. Included works involve hand-made shadow boxes, a time machine booth, and candles that spin under their own steam power.”
Anachronistic mecha, Austin music and vaudeville too? Woot! Austinist has the details.
