Who has gone and did you have fun?

I know I did my friend Dan and I went as Port Authority storm troopers. Not the Star wars kind. Good music interesting events. Learned how to incorporate some metal working into my leather craft.

NICE! Saw you guys walking around yesterday actually. Was there for a bit myself (in street clothes) and enjoyed the time spent. Some really neat costumes and the merch area had some really amazing stuff.

Was fun.

I went, it was fun. Thanks to Helena for inviting us to her hotel party.

Agree! Helena's hotel party really helped pick me up outa my sadness (I only just got to the steam expo 30 minutes before the venders closed. SUCKED) but I still had fun the rest of the night. The Bawdy Boys (sp?) where great! LOVED Haley Jane (like always). Worth the big bucks that I lost I guess. :)

In my opinion, you dont need more than 2 hours at the vendors, you can see everything pretty quick. Was still lots of fun though.

WOW!!! Amazing, this is the exact same World Steam Expo event I attended. I even had an outfit for each day over the 4 day weekend. It's very exciting to hear about others who have attended something I have actually experienced first hand.

However, I ended up not making it to World Steam Expo 2012 and apparently something happened causing that to be the final WSE in this area according to Arthur Geissler, host of the event. Unfortunately, this information was an extreme bummer since I was looking forward to attending World Steam Expo 2013 with a guest. If anyone knows what happened, I would appreciate any share of info, please and thank you.

[World Steam Expo] Steampunk has been something that I've been...

Steampunk has been something that I've been passionate about since long before I knew that what I enjoyed had a name. I've watched that interest grow and evolve for well over a decade and it has certainly been fascinating to see how the community has flourished and thrived in that time. Until recently I had always prided myself as being a part of a 'well-mannered', 'civil', and 'exceptionally friendly' cadre of people. I've even been complimented by the staff of the venues that I have hosted events at and even from random passer-bys over these virtues. But now is the present, and I am more than disappointed with how things currently stand.
I have worked long and hard to put on what many know as one of the greatest events of its kind, and I've done it quite well. With how I have seen things progress in just the last few months alone, I do not see how I can move on in good conscience to reward this behaviour. As of this time the World Steam Expo is on indefinite hold. There are many who will be dismayed by this announcement, but there are others who will rejoice. I have put my heart and soul into Steampunk as a whole and embraced it in more ways than I can count. To have those whom I thought to be my friends and colleagues in the community work so hard to undermine myself and what I stood for greatly saddens me.
I have made a great deal of friends in my time in the community and it deeply wounds me to have to withdraw, but someone has to make a stand. This is a result of the community as a whole that I, and the World Steam Expo, take a bow. I am truly disappointed in so many of you right now.

      What Are You Thinking? (cont'd)

      ~~~~~ Actually, I found it got better.  I had to learn to enjoy life.   With "Middle Child Syndrome" you don't have the luxury of certain thoughts or behaviors as you watch everyone else around you living their life and "going through it".  However, there does come a point where what was then is no longer now and you find your voice, then you can start learning what it means to live life as we understand it.   Unfortunately, because that "freedom" comes later in life than most, you end up as an adult living a crash course of "This is Life" without training wheels and it is a scary position to be in while you are still carrying the scars of an inescapable sense of duty and responsibility that defines you as you navigate your new now.  You come across as a somewhat very naïve, yet responsible adult and there isn't a lack of participants waiting in line to take advantage of that beacon.    However, without the emotionally charged state of youth misdirecting you, you are also able to come to lifechanging decisions for your betterment quicker than most, as you are hyper aware of what is coming your way.   Mix that with a bit of new found confidence and you find that you have a voice that can help others to assess their own situations and life choices.   ~~~~~ As for myself, I interact with a lot of young people who are currently "going through it" and I let them know that although they are feeling it, they have to step back and reassess their situation from a different perspective.   Inevitably, however, with age comes the "I'm too old for this..." mindset wakeup moment and then you can truly begin to enjoy what life has to offer.  I just try to help people get to that point a bit more sooner than later.

      Not that this gets a lot of activity, but it's been three years, which is also around the last time @Lucyfurlogged on here.  This can probably be unpinned :P
