Clockwork Con surprised people by being unusually well organized and well run.

Brand new for 2012! January 13-16 is the debut of the Steampunk Symposium aboard the historic Queen Mary.

June boasts many interesting and unusual steampunk events; conventions, teas, dances, etc. Including one con that I’m REALLY looking forward to.

This hybrid multi-genre convention mixes steampunk, horror, pirates, sci-fi, and fantasy all with the unifying element of the Western Martial Arts. We’re pretty big on steampunk here at Convention Fans Blog so let me tell you that the steamy events scheduled so far for CombatCon 2011 are looking pretty sweet.

The times that were, the times that are, and the times that may be… and how to kick butt in all of them!
