CIMG5329 Black vest and metal belt

CIMG5329 A costumer in a black vest and metal belt. With the ubiquitous goggles on her forehead to indicate that this is, after all, a steampunk costume. Seen at the Futures Past steampunk party at SXSW 2007.

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.
