Re: Meeting schedule for the Sacramento Steampunk Society

[Beatrix Travers-Braithwaite]

Hurrah! I look forward to the continuting adventures of the SSS!

[Alexander Watt Babbage]

SacSS has now had its second successful meeting with 14 people
attending. Several people had holiday committments or there would have
been an even larger group. There were eight "new" steamers there.
Besides lots of excited conversations on many subjects, we had some
semi-formal show and tell:

Doug showed "What I found at a thrift store today" and talked about
how he planned to turn a candlestick, a metal plant trellis, a
flashlight, a glass vase and the base of a lamp into a deadly table-
top swivel ray gun.

Katia showed the new outfit she put together the day of the meeting
with pieces of cloth from various items of clothing, a white needle
work dress, and some 'knitting' that looked like lace trim. The
dangling gold coins on her headress had a very adventurous look.

Admiral Macabre had a cane in progress with many well faux finished
bits on it. His evil persona has been in so many life and death
situations that many parts of his body are being replaced with
mechanical aids. The cane includes a steam amplifier for his voice.

Jasmine showed a very hot 'new' corset.

Mouse showed a super pair of scratch built goggles with nice leather
cups.

There were lots of other costume items and tips shared.

Our next meeting will be Thursday January 7th at a place and time to
be announced soon.

On Thursday January 14th we will meet at the Karma Cafe 727 Sutter
Street in Old Folsom. Anthony can prepare fruit and cheese plates,
sandwiches and a variety of other munchables. They have 30 varieties
of tea available. They also have Wi-Fi for those who can't exist
without their laptop. He will be staying open specifically for us, so
come early if you can. "Official" meeting time: 6:30-9:30.

[Lord Duckbillington]

I spoke with the owner of Sac City Dry Goods to see if they would be
willing to stay open later for us, I am eagerly awaiting their call
back.

[Alexander Watt Babbage]

There were a total of 22 people at the meeting January 7th and
although it
was warm and crowded it was still a lot of fun.

The next meeting is at the Karma Cafe in Old Folsom. Thursday, January
14th.

Much enthusiasm was expressed in favor of having our February 4th
meeting at the Crocker Art Gallery. The Gallery will be open until
9pm and the current show consists of personal belongings of the
Crocker family that are not usually on display. The heart of the
Crocker is an extremely beautiful (opulant) Victorian mansion built
by
Edwin and Margaret Crocker in 1872. Their private art gallery was
completed in 1873. If you can, dress in your best formal Victorian
clothes. Admission is $6. (Students with ID $3)
