Halloween is approaching and I've been listening to Abney Park which has put me on a total pirate kick. More pendants and necklaces with skulls to come!

A-Kon

Just returned from A-kon and wow... It was great.
I missed it last year but this year really made up for it.
Revenge of the Penguins was the theme and penguins are my fav.
Originally the JRock groups selected didn't really entice me to go but when I heard Abney Park was going to be there I knew I had to grab the chance to see them live. It was a great concert and full of energy (Granted the crowd didn't move around a lot... My friend believes it is because the steampunk gear is so heavy. XD) They played a couple songs I hadn't heard before and I look forward to their next album with the direction they are taking.
There were many steampunk outfits and it seems that was the most common type of outfit this year. I had a great chance to meet up with old college buddies, talk to other steampunk artists and just grab a chance to relax.

It was a great time and I am already getting amped for the next con, San Japan on July 9-11th.

There is a chance that some of my items may be available there. More details to come.

Abney Park at A-Kon 21!

One of my current music obsessions, Abney Park, will be performing Saturday night at A-Kon.

This took me by surprise and though I won't be selling at A-Kon, I'll be rocking to Abney Park and the two bands performing on Friday night, SEKIMA II and Inugami Circus Dan.

One more thing that has me hyped about A-Kon 21?

The theme is penguins.

I have such a soft spot for stuffed penguins...

Tomorrow I'll posts some pics of some of my other token designs.

Like Watching Paint Dry

Yay! I filled up the insides of the new designs last night and early this morning! So... now the wait for them to dry. I hope they will be clear by tonight so I can post a pic of them.

In the meantime, enjoy this Abney Park video about Steampunk Culture:
