CIMG5328 A silver-colored robot at SXSW 2007 steampunk party

CIMG5328 A silver-colored robot whose lines hint at an exaggerated female shape — but with enough plausible deniability. It may or may not have been a Robot Group creation.

The “Futures Past” steampunk party was thrown by EFF and several other organizations at the SXSW conference on March 12, 2007 at Scholz Garden in Austin, Texas. I didn’t know many people there, so I went there mostly to see the costumes. Ah, the costumes! Unfortunately, I don’t know the names of any of the people I took pictures of. On the technical side of things, Austin’s own Robot Group had an exhibit there, showing many all sorts of new flashing, singing, wiggling mechanical creatures I haven’t seen since their last exhibit.
