http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=142863209073266 Ladies and gentlemen, it is time once again for the Annual Time Travel Picnic, the oldest & Longest running annual steampunk meet up event in the world. Join us Saturday, August 7th, on Governor's Island in New York City for this year's adventure! We will be meeting at 1:30pm at the Island and will enjoy the festivities until closing.
In keeping with our time travel theme, we will be leaving the rustic charm of the Renaissance behind and travel right into the middle of America's Civil War! For the many of you who enjoy the steampunk/Victorian aesthetic, this will be a happy return to the modern world (circa 1863 of course). Come dressed in your finest and enjoy the exciting Civil War Weekend and the Time Travel Picnic.
We will meet around 1:30 at Pier 101 on the island
