The turnout was a little smaller tonight for Gear and Beers but the conversation was full! Quite a few new faces that are hungry for more Austin steampunk events! If you are new, make sure to keep an eye on what Argo is up to! Got to hear about a new steampunk LARP being formed and play tested called Clockwork Souls (if I remember right...) and we even had some new faces that just moved here from New Jersey!
Sam Tyler made it out for one last Austin steampunk hurrah before her big move. <3 nbsp="" p="">Good conversation, great new faces and some mighty yummy cider.
It was a good night~ <3 nbsp="" p="">Over the next few weeks I am going to be sorting through my stash of goodies and am considering doing a sale through Facebook. I just need to figure out a good way to make it go smooth but I think I have an idea on how to make it all work. As always, if you spotted something at and event and it is still on your mind, please don't hesitate to reach out and I can see if I still have it in stock. While many of my pieces are one offs, sometimes I can recreate or at least come close to recreating pieces.
Eyes to the skies and safe travels to everyone this holiday season!

Steampunk Comedy Murder Mystery - Grapevine, TX
Steampunk Comedy Murder Mystery that is happening this Sunday in downtown Grapevine, TX. Here are the details:
"Waylaid in the Weird, Weird West"
Sunday, March 30, 2014
Tie down your dirigible at the nearest hitchin’ post and join the posse cause we’ve a got murder to solve! That’s right, ol’ “Horse Face Jack” has done been put out to pasture, but instead of grazin’ he’s pushing up daises.
Ride along with us on this hilarious journey through the Weird West with some of the zaniest characters this side of the Milky Way. If you’re the shiniest cog in the gearbox maybe you can figure out why someone would want to send Horse Face Jack to the glue factory. Was he feeling his oats with Esperanza, the local saloon girl? Did he think the Doc should get a dose of his own medicine? Could our proper Ms. Book have wanted to re-write a chapter or two? Or was this just a case of mistaken identity? And will Marshal Courtright be able to keep the gears of justice turning long enough to bring in the guilty party?
Horse Face Jack might have been smelly, lazy, and an all around rotten sort, but a ray gun blast in the back ain’t no suicide. So it’s up to y’all to figure out “who done it” and bring the varmint to justice. Yee haw!

Teaser for The Mechanical Grave
The year is 1895. Steam-powered ships fly through the air. Clockwork robots have replaced servants. And a grisly murder has taken place in the dark night of New York City. Called to the scene of the ritualistic murder, newly appointed police commissioner Teddy Roosevelt discovers Detective Wayne and his police officers power usurped by two special investigators appointed by the White House: Occultist Edgar Allan Poe, a clockwork automaton housing the soul of the literary legend, and Mrs. Emma Entwistle, a dangerous assassin with a unique connection to the otherworld. When they elicit information from the demon Neshrew, a much darker and more dangerous plot of world domination is uncovered.
