Indy Steampunk meetup?
Indianapolis Steampunk Meetup?
I am located in Indianapolis and am interested in maybe having some sort of meet-up. I have a good friend who works at the Morris-Butler House
, an 1865 historic home that is open to the public as a museum, and she has told me that they currently have an exhibit about mourning on display. They also do period teas, and if we can demonstrate sufficient interest, they would be interested in holding one just for us! In order to figure out cost, I need to be able to give her an estimate of attendance, though, so.... who would be up for it? What times work for you all?
There is also the Ayres tea room
at the Indiana State Museum, which would probably be a cheaper tea ($10), so perhaps there could be a Morris-Butler tour followed by Ayres tea afternoon combo. So that is another option.
So... is there any interest to be had here in the fine state of Indiana?
P.S. While we are on a museum kick, Conner Prairie, a living history museum here, is planning a 1856 balloon exhibit
for mid-2009. Airship pirates, strap on your goggles.
Anyone interested in going with me? Another person is trying to organise this and I really would like to get a Steampunk meetup together in Indy so if you're interested please speak up. We were thinking mid-Novemberish.
I'm a newb and barely have a costume or two together. I'm putting together a Steampunk costume for Halloween so I figure I will just wear that.
