Last chance to plan for the Difference Engine!

4a688 DiffEngAd+Ramon Last chance to plan for the Difference Engine!

Just a quick reminder that there is still time to partake of the Difference Engine event if one is able to arrive in beautiful Fort Worth by the 30th of December, this upcoming Friday!  As stated on the December 19th entry…

Received word from my good friend, Mr. Ramon del Mar, that the plans for an incredible end-of-year event is a “go”!  As he succinctly describes it on his blog, The Art of Steampunk
On December 30th in north Central Fort Worth there will be a really new and different type of entertainment for the metroplex! The “Difference Engine“ will immerse you in the creative world of the retro-futuristic imagination. This is something called “Steampunk“, a blending of science fiction and old world charm, elegance, and adventure from the 19th century. 

For more details regarding the last Steampunk Event of 2011, and the first of 2012, please pass an eye at the full narrative, at:

Its been essentially a week since I’ve posted on the Tribune, due to some emergent issues.  Nonetheless, it seemed an appropriate time to post a long awaited update to the Steampunk Facebook Pages!  As the latest installment to this continuing work and the fluidity of Facebook, if one notes a missing entry on the Steampunk Facebook Pages, please do let me know via comment or email (TheSteampunkTribune@yahoo.com).

My first topic is to extend a thanks and apology to the lovely Miss Daylina Miller, a very busy lady in the Steampunk realms!  She had extended a list of Facebook locations in association with one of the quickest growing centers of Steampunk involvement, the beautiful state of Florida, specifically the center-north portion of the Sunshine state!  Alas, I am a tad reticent with entries, so without further ado, please do consider a visit to some of these outstanding sites…

Help The Men Who Will Not Be Blamed for Nothing reach the World Steam Expo!

May 7, 2012   //   by Bob   //   Blog  //  No Comments
8184b DCS 0005 Help The Men Who Will Not Be Blamed for Nothing reach the World Steam Expo!

An odd circumstance has emerged in the Steampunk community, with one of the musical standard-bearers of the genre.  Seems that the industrious individuals from the World Steam Expo have a dilemma - they are seeking to invite the very talented Steampunk musical group “The Men Who Will Not Be Blamed for Nothing“, but… their lawyers were informed by some bureaucratic individuals that they were not “artists of ‘international acclaim’/'extraordinary ability’”)!  Seems that bureaucracy efforts in getting in the way of the Free Market is still alive and well – so a bit of persuasion is necessary to help “The Men Who Will Not Be Blamed for Nothing” to make it across the “pond” to perform!

(Oh, I don’t need much of an excuse to post my favorite selection of theirs!)

In an effort assist bringing the group to the World Steam Expo, I’m hoping to spread the word to change the pencil-pusher’s notion of talent to recognize their excellent work.  To do so, and taking the pertinent sections of the notecard forwarded to me from Mr. T. Downey, the head of Guest Relations with the World Steam Expo, they are seeking support from the Steampunk community to provide ample support of the group’s unquestionable talent.  I would encourage a brief note to Mr. Downey, at guests@worldsteamexpo.com, to find out what else can be done to help, and as always with the bureaucracy, written support is certainly encouraged!  I’ll be working on my own bit, but with a bit of Steampunk elbow-grease from the Steampunk community, this outstanding group will be performing selections from their albums this coming May!  For more details, again, please contact Mr. Downey at guests@worldsteamexpo.com, and as always, consider adding a visit to the World Steam Expo to your itinerary next month!
