CIMG5437 Steampunk goggles, possibly made out of tea strainers
CIMG5437 A partygoer in steampunk goggles that, upon closer inspection, appear to be made of some kind of kitchen gadgets. The left one could have been made out of a tea strainer, though I’m not sure I’ve seen a tea strainer quite like that. But that’s what it reminds me of. If true, that would be a second kitchen gadget used creatively at this party.
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.
