Steampunk Festival

In May, my dad came up to visit me and Tom. As a preparation for Tom's brother's steampunk wedding, we ventured out to the Steampunk Festival, where we saw gadgets and gizmos of plenty. Most were for display only, but if you were willing to forfeit a pretty penny, you could purchase anything from machines to clothes to accessories. Some people had wonderful costumes, but others were in medieval attire. Which, if you do not know this, is not steampunk.

What is steampunk, you ask? Let's ask wiki: steampunk. Basically, it's Victorian-era style fantasy. Think clocks and blimps and time travel and petticoats.

(Not in a petticoat. And not technically steampunk, but this car is awesome.)
