Dieselpunks Interview - GD Falksen, steampunk, author, and historian
The Strange Case of Mr. Falksen

If you haven't heard of GD, you've certainly seen him around. Whether it be on MTV, or at DragonCon, SalonCon, the Time Travel Picnic or dozens of other events, GD is the unofficial spokesperson for all things steampunk.

This gifted writer can normally be seen at Tor, but today, GD is spending a little time with Dieselpunks to share his views on how we've grown as a subculture and where Steampunk will be in the future.

I have uploaded are photos from last saturdays Time Travel Picnic 09



( Mad with Knifes, paper boys and corsets Collapse )

The 100 or so photos I took all can be seen here: http://www.flickr.com/groups/time_travel__picnic/

If you where there and took photos add them to the group and post them as there are some great things we did not get a photo of and I know you might have!

Pictures!

Even though jaborwhalky scooped me on posting my group shot to steamfashion, I wanted to post my photos here too. I have some more to upload, and I also plan to clean up the group photo I posted to balance out the lighting on everyone. I will leave a note here when I do that.





I'm not going to post them all here right now, but you can view what's posted so far at the full set on Flicker



Enjoy!
