CIMG5501 White top, blue ruffles – Steampunk party at SXSW 2007

CIMG5501 A person in a white tube top and blue ruffled skirt at the Steampunk party at SXSW 2007. And a hint of ubiquitous steampunk goggles on her head, which must be what makes this a steampunk costume.

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.
