Last weekend was the RFL Grand Tour of which New Babbage hosted the Illusions White Themed Ball.
Christine and I enjoy a much anticipated dance together.
The collection of white in New Babbage was an unusual site to say the least.
Later that night (or the wee hours of the morning SLT) I came back for the JLU leg of the Tour in Steelhead and played a mix of superhero inspired songs

Certainly the most colourful of the dances of the evening :-)
Then most recently Josh from the Vernian Process was lured inworld to discuss music of the steampunk nature and it's influences.
See it is possible to blink in your own photos.
This topic that Miss Emilly and I and various other have been discussing for some time, it was interesting to hear from someone actively involved in producing music of the "steampunk" nature. There were many groups I'd not even heard of before. Some I'm not overly into, other I really liked. Gogol Bordello have been on loop for many an evening since then :-)

Still working my way down the list, or at least the initial list; I've got the grand list copied for later perusal.
I'm hoping This Way to the Egress proves my most difficult challenge; but we'll see.
Thank yeh for the playlist post! I've been working on my own Monstrous SteamPunk Playlist; after some time spent with your list and iTunes, it is even more monstrous, oh yes.
