Steampunk Guinness Attempt Sat. 4 pm Westin Peachtree BR

Howdy All,
I haven't seen much regarding the Steampunk Guinness attempt at D*C, and the information on the page is still empty. (Though on the schedule)

Is this gonna happen? Are there any more details? Is there life on Mars?

I'm planning my packing and suitcase room is at a premium, so any information would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT: Updated

Victorian fantasy = H. Rider Haggard, etc.
Victorian sci-fi = Wells and Verne (and Twain)
Steampunk = term invented in 1987 (or thereabouts)

I don't code, though, so you could very well have been saying just exactly that.

And I forgot to add this ;)

Steampunk is explicitly the genre involving high technology based on steam power. 99.9% of "steampunk" costumes are just "gaslamp fantasy" or "victorian fantasy", and have nothing to do with steam in even a tangential way.
Go play Arcanum or Damnation, or watch Steamboy.

I do believe it's time to end this conversation with the old 'let's agree to disagree' axiom, sir.
