The final installment of my Prague travel log is a massive photo update and a personal “Thank You” to all the people I met and those who made this evening so excellent and memorable (the two groups overlap heavily). First, here are some of the pictures I took: And now the shout out to all [...]

George Takei, a.k.a. Captain Hikaru Sulu, has graced this planet for 75 years today. Apart from being one of the most recognisable sci-fi icons ever, Mr. Takei has also been active in politics.

Ladies and Gentlemen, it is once a again time to introduce you to yet another facet of music our subculture has produced. This time, it is dark cabaret with a distinct taste of Dieselpunk and the Cthulhu Mythos to it. Even better: Today’s featured artists are from Mexico City. We are so international! So, without [...]

The fundraiser for the European Steampunk Convention has less than 20 days left and there is still a long way to go. To be fair, we overestimated the amount of money we needed, but not by a lot. Right now, though, paying for the goodies will eat up the money we have collected, leaving us [...]

As I said in the previous installment of the travel log, when I arrived, there were about 100 people already there. Most of them were also dressed up steampunk-style, most of the others were either goths or metal-heads. So, do you know how many people live in the Czech Republic? 10,562,214 according to the 2011 [...]

On the 14th of April 2012 (i.e. yesterday), I made my way to the beautiful city of Prague to attend the SteamUp Festival Vol. III at the Hoodoo Music Club. Getting there was just a tiny bit of an adventure itself, I took the long-range express bus: It was far better than I expected and [...]
I am an anthropologist and in this capacity a minor scholar of the Cthulhu Mythos and H.P. Lovecraft. I am also quite obviously heavily into Steampunk and Dieselpunk and like travelling.
