The creators of the popular Girl Genius webcomic will be appearing at Gaslight Gathering in San Diego.

Steampunk conventions are getting more and more popular, which means one could soon be coming to a city near you! For those of you in the south east United States, there’s AnachroCon, an Atlanta, Georgia steampunk convention.

Airship Isabella has become quite a sensation as a Steampunk Performance Art Airship in Texas, the surrounding states, and at many conventions throughout the country. This has happened in an amazingly short amount of time through hard work and consistent effort to perform and spend time with fans at all the conventions. They also are willing to go to conventions too remote to generally receive a visit from say, “The League of Steam”.

Per the information on the Galveston Historical Society’s Website: “Dickens on The Strand is a holiday festival, where Bobbies, Beefeaters, and the Queen (Victoria) …recreate the Victorian London of Charles Dickens. Characters from Dickens novels walk the street. Food and entertainment fill the area with sights and smells that take you back to another era.”

Okay steampunk fans, you now have plans for May 6 – 8, 2011. Trust me, anything else you have scheduled that weekend pales in comparison to this event I’m about to share with you. Jeff Mach, the man behindWicked Faire and The Steampunk World’s Fair, along with Thomas Willeford of Brute Force Leather, have announced an amazing event dubbed the International Steampunk City.
