CIMG5486 A tall guy in a deliberately ill-fitting suit

CIMG5486 A very tall, thin guy in a comically, deliberately ill-fitting suit with a bowtie seems like an old-time comedy character from the turn of the 20th century. That’s probably the look he was going for.

Seen at the steampunk party at the 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.
