The convention lasted another day, but we didn't stay for that. We have one left that was never opened, so some night we'll have to go out and see if they really do work. The dance floor was packed for the Abney Park concert,īut some of the nice young ladies standing in front of us made room for Blaze and motioned for him to move up front, so he could see better, so for several songs he was right up against the stage ( have I mentioned how nice I've found the steampunk community to be?).Īfter the concert, we passed out Chinese sky lanterns and attempted to light them, but again we were foiled by the strong winds. Perego LIVE! preforming at the Saturday night concert: The video I took didn't turn out very well. We watched the local Florida band, The Cog is Dead, preform twice, once in the afternoon and again as part of the big evening concert. This is the first episode of Penny Dreadful's current webseries, Remnant: The costuming panel with Penny Dreadful Productions, a multi-media production company. He may not have remembered meeting Blaze at Dragon con (he meets so many people), but he acted like he did and commented on how much he had grown. When Robert walked past us in the lobby and Blaze called out his name, Robert turned around, came back, asked him his name, and shook his hand. He is so friendly and accessible to his fans. He is really the musician who Blaze idolizes most and I couldn't ask for a better celebrity roll model. Robert was the inspiration for Blaze's airship pirate costume when we first made it, back in 2009.

Grey (on the right) and the amazingly talented designer of all the graphics for the convention, C.J. This is one of those pictures that I really wish had turned out clearer, because on that tablet, on the table, he was working on the most amazing sketch of a Japanese Dragon Airship, that will be part of the sequel to his book, Broken Silences.
Fate here:Īuthor and illustrator, Jason Robert LeClair. The quality of my indoor pictures is not that great, but you can get an idea of how awesome the convention was.
The water was nice and warm, though.īack inside the hotel, the hallways and lobby were full of well dress gentlemen, lovely Victorian ladies, rogues, and adventurers. The plan was to have a picnic breakfast on the beach, but the wind wasn't cooperating. Blaze wanted desperately to go to the beach, but with so many exciting things going on at the steampunk exhibition, the only time I could fit that into our schedule was early in the morning.
