Top Ten Things Not to Say at a Steampunk Convention

With the Brass Screw Confederacy behind me and GEAR Con in Portland coming up next month, it seemed appropriate to do a steampunk themed top ten list this week. Leave a comment if you can think of any more!

10. Does it bother you that most people have no idea what you’re talking about?

9. Dirigibles sure are stupid.

8. Technically, your outfit is still historically inaccurate.

7. You realize of course that almost everything here would not work in real life.

6. So steampunk is basically sci-fi for people who don’t understand science, right?

5. Why would you wear goggles above the brim of a top hat?

4. I didn’t know Nerf guns were in the Victorian Era.

3. I loved Wild Wild West, except for all those weird gadgets.

2. Is it true that you’re all just goths wearing brown?

1. Is Twilight steampunk?
