CIMG5395 Costumes seen at the steampunk party at SXSW 2007

The black suit and the white dress seem like they could be from some historical period. But I have no guess as to what the person on the right is supposed to be. Here is an up-close picture of him and his jewelry.

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.
