All ages welcome! This is a restaurant setting.

All steampunks and neovictorians welcome, in costume or not.

Note from The Mysterium:

All who have steamgear should be done up in it to the nines.. I hear we have a few newbies attendingwho are 'steam curious', and we'd certainly like to give them an idea of what we can do!

Our theme this month is Victorian Etiquette!

Brush up before the meeting with this handy guide:
