PDXSteampunkFF Have to run, joy to see you all. Will tune in next week. #samesteamtime #samesteamchannel #steampunkchat -7:11 PM Apr 6th, 2012
LiaKeyes Okay, then. Thanks for coming, carnival-lovers! See you next week! #steampunkchat -7:10 PM Apr 6th, 2012
RichardEPreston @jhameia LOL that would be one craaaazy ride! Maybe make it bumper airships barnstorming while on absinthe cotton candy? #steampunkchat -7:10 PM Apr 6th, 2012
jhameia RT @LiaKeyes: via @PDXSteampunkFF: Visit the 3 day circus/bohemian fest in PDX http://t.co/WgwHv1j8 #steampunkchat-7:09 PM Apr 6th, 2012
jhameia @LiaKeyes Well it was the only logical next step……#steampunkchat -7:09 PM Apr 6th, 2012
Brainmaker @jhameia Wild. I’m feeling the absinthe.#steampunkchat -7:09 PM Apr 6th, 2012
LiaKeyes @jhameia I was thinking the very same thing. Bad girls. Bad. But fun. #steampunkchat -7:08 PM Apr 6th, 2012
Cinnamon_Quill I think I’d just pickpocket ALL the pocket watches and fill my marks’ pockets with cockroaches. Yeah. #steampunkchat-7:08 PM Apr 6th, 2012
PDXSteampunkFF @RichardEPreston Oh the frivolity! (Too soon?)#steampunkchat -7:08 PM Apr 6th, 2012
LiaKeyes via @PDXSteampunkFF: Visit the 3 day circus/bohemian fest in PDX http://t.co/ZBo3wmXz #steampunkchat -7:08 PM Apr 6th, 2012
PDXSteampunkFF @DelilahSDawson We don’t need a tardis. We need a tunnel, some mine cart track, and ROCKETS.#perhapsivegonetoofar #steampunkchat -7:08 PM Apr 6th, 2012
jhameia @RichardEPreston Bumper airships while high on absinthe cotton candy, is the way to go, clearly! #steampunkchat -7:08 PM Apr 6th, 2012
jhameia Goodness, well tonight was certainly productive, eh?#steampunkchat -7:07 PM Apr 6th, 2012
RichardEPreston @jhameia Bumper Airships! Yes! Even better than absinthe cotton candy! #steampunkchat -7:07 PM Apr 6th, 2012
Siri_Paulson #steampunkchat Mechanical goodies that you win at the booths. Like the toys in HUGO. -7:06 PM Apr 6th, 2012
PDXSteampunkFF @LiaKeyes http://t.co/uFuhyjSN , and thank you!#steampunkchat -7:06 PM Apr 6th, 2012
Brainmaker @jhameia People often try. But they’re awfully dusty. 
#steampunkchat #cupcakecars -7:06 PM Apr 6th, 2012
MlleGagnon @DevlinConnors @theAugustCircus the circus#steampunkchat is going on now! -7:05 PM Apr 6th, 2012
Cinnamon_Quill Well, I already nicked the steamfunnel machine and took out whoever was operating it to do so… #steampunkchat -7:05 PM Apr 6th, 2012
PDXSteampunkFF @LiaKeyes Simply awesome light-up noisemakers! Hand-cranked, spinning tin dancers, electric arcs, whistle-calliope.#steampunkchat -7:05 PM Apr 6th, 2012
Brainmaker @PDXSteampunkFF Oh, my heart! Steam powered giraffe. #steampunkchat -7:05 PM Apr 6th, 2012
DelilahSDawson @PDXSteampunkFF Please build a steampunk Tardis so I can go to that. ATL is too far from PDX! #steampunkchat -7:05 PM Apr 6th, 2012
RichardEPreston @Brainmaker Thanks Suz she was our baby for 13 years! #steampunkchat -7:05 PM Apr 6th, 2012
LiaKeyes @PDXSteampunkFF Give us a link and we’ll plug it with pleasure. 
#steampunkchat -7:05 PM Apr 6th, 2012
AirshipEmbassy RT @jhameia: @RichardEPreston Instead of bumper cars, bumper airships? #steampunkchat -7:05 PM Apr 6th, 2012
jhameia @RichardEPreston Instead of bumper cars, bumper airships?#steampunkchat -7:04 PM Apr 6th, 2012
jhameia @RichardEPreston This is clearly SERIOUS BUSINESS!@liakeyes #steampunkchat -7:04 PM Apr 6th, 2012

#steampunkchat -7:03 PM Apr 6th, 2012
RichardEPreston @jhameia @liakeyes I get the steampunk gravy boat/airship please! #steampunkchat -7:03 PM Apr 6th, 2012

jolantru @Jenny_Schwartz Hehe. #steampunkchat -7:03 PM Apr 6th, 2012
Cinnamon_Quill What? It’s over? You can’t leave me this way…all hungry. *sings* Masquerade…funnel dough must be made.#steampunkchat -7:03 PM Apr 6th, 2012
DelilahSDawson Goodnight, all! Thanks for a fun visit to the steampunk carnival! #steampunkchat -7:02 PM Apr 6th, 2012
RichardEPreston My first steampunk chat too – FUN.#steampunkchat -7:02 PM Apr 6th, 2012
LiaKeyes @MerryBones So happy you joined us. Always a good party to be had here. And the NICEST people. #steampunkchat -7:02 PM Apr 6th, 2012
AirshipEmbassy @Cinnamon_Quill LOL, not real elephant ears, of course Just the friend doughy kind #steampunkchat -7:01 PM Apr 6th, 2012
Brainmaker @LiaKeyes @jhameia Ok, here’s a start. #steampunkchathttp://t.co/RTd50TRC -7:01 PM Apr 6th, 2012
LiaKeyes Dang! I had so much fun dreaming up a steampunk circus/fun fair/carnival this week! Feel free to chat on. Transcript coming. #steampunkchat -7:01 PM Apr 6th, 2012
PDXSteampunkFF @jasonahlquist ”… mostly positive” which is my fav. steampunk anyway. If we can remake our past, let’s be optimists. #steampunkchat -7:01 PM Apr 6th, 2012
Cinnamon_Quill @DelilahSDawson I think if there was a machine that made steamfunnel cake with cinnamon, I would steals it.#steampunkchat -7:01 PM Apr 6th, 2012
jhameia @LiaKeyes More complicated :if the teacup AND saucer were different vehicles, and people got more points for joining forces! #steampunkchat -7:01 PM Apr 6th, 2012
MerryBones My first #steampunkchat and what a blast! I can’t wait until next Friday! -7:01 PM Apr 6th, 2012
Cinnamon_Quill @AirshipEmbassy *gasp* Wot? I cannae eat Elephant ears! Even with cinnamon on them. #steampunkchat -7:00 PM Apr 6th, 2012
jasonahlquist Another angle could come from Sgt. Pepper imagery. Psychadellic, whimsical and mostly positive #steampunkchat -7:00 PM Apr 6th, 2012
DelilahSDawson @Cinnamon_Quill Funnel cake! Steamfunnel cake. Mmm. Cake. I need to make a steampunk funnel cake machine.#steampunkchat -7:00 PM Apr 6th, 2012
LiaKeyes @jhameia NOW you’re talking! Teacup bumper car laser tag with rayguns. Game on! #steampunkchat -7:00 PM Apr 6th, 2012
AirshipEmbassy @Cinnamon_Quill Elephant ears? #steampunkchat-6:59 PM Apr 6th, 2012
jhameia @PDXSteampunkFF I thought about it earlier in the hour but forgot to mention them! #steampunkchat -6:59 PM Apr 6th, 2012
Jenny_Schwartz I’ve got to dash, but loved #steampunkchatEveryone have a great holiday break -6:59 PM Apr 6th, 2012
jhameia @LiaKeyes, it seems that our hour is up already! ;_;#steampunkchat -6:59 PM Apr 6th, 2012
PDXSteampunkFF How have we come this far w/o mentioning Steam Powered Giraffe? #steampunkchat -6:59 PM Apr 6th, 2012
RichardEPreston A killer steampunk troika w mechanical horses!#steampunkchat -6:59 PM Apr 6th, 2012
jhameia RT @PDXSteampunkFF: @LiaKeyes With rayguns. Teacup bumper car laser tag. #steampunkchat -6:58 PM Apr 6th, 2012
Cinnamon_Quill What’s that fried dough called that they sprinkle with icing sugar and cinnamon? I like that. #steampunkchat -6:58 PM Apr 6th, 2012
LiaKeyes @jhameia Yes, and @LBardugo author of SHADOW AND BONE http://t.co/1pScsz9m #steampunkchat -6:58 PM Apr 6th, 2012
jhameia @Brainmaker But can you EAT them? >.o #steampunkchat-6:57 PM Apr 6th, 2012
PDXSteampunkFF @LiaKeyes With rayguns. Teacup bumper car laser tag. #steampunkchat -6:57 PM Apr 6th, 2012
RichardEPreston @LiaKeyes Im all in on the Tsarfest next week! Ra Ra Rasputeeen! #steampunkchat -6:57 PM Apr 6th, 2012
Jenny_Schwartz @Cinnamon_Quill I always seem to default to talking food when I hit Twitter #steampunkchat -6:57 PM Apr 6th, 2012
jhameia @LiaKeyes Oooh, @esedia should come for that#steampunkchat -6:57 PM Apr 6th, 2012
Cinnamon_Quill @Jenny_Schwartz Now you’re making me hungry! XD #steampunkchat -6:57 PM Apr 6th, 2012
LiaKeyes @Brainmaker I want bumper cars shaped like teacups and saucers. #steampunkchat -6:56 PM Apr 6th, 2012
jhameia RT @jasonahlquist: There has to be some kind of epic scale caliope! #steampunkchat -6:56 PM Apr 6th, 2012
DelilahSDawson Oh, man. We missed the teacups when we were down there last year. I’m still kicking myself. #steampunkchat -6:56 PM Apr 6th, 2012
Jenny_Schwartz @Brainmaker @LiaKeyes For real? Wow!#steampunkchat Cupcake people -6:56 PM Apr 6th, 2012
jasonahlquist There has to be some kind of epic scale caliope!#steampunkchat -6:56 PM Apr 6th, 2012
LiaKeyes Samovars! Tea served in samovars. Totally in love with Russian steampunk right now. Maybe next week’s chat topic? Tsarpunk? #steampunkchat -6:56 PM Apr 6th, 2012
Brainmaker @LiaKeyes @Jenny_Schwartz I bet you would love the cupcake people at burning man. Motorized giant cupcakes you sit inside. #steampunkchat -6:56 PM Apr 6th, 2012
Jenny_Schwartz @LiaKeyes Teacup ride looks delightful in photos#steampunkchat -6:55 PM Apr 6th, 2012
Jenny_Schwartz RT @jhameia: @Jenny_Schwartz Catch the Earl Grey dispenser!! #steampunkchat -6:54 PM Apr 6th, 2012
Jenny_Schwartz @jhameia Doh! I forgot the coinslots…why my funfairs are always bankrupt #steampunkchat -6:54 PM Apr 6th, 2012
LiaKeyes @Jenny_Schwartz I always loved the silliness of the giant teacup ride at Disneyland. #steampunkchat -6:54 PM Apr 6th, 2012
jhameia @Jenny_Schwartz Catch the Earl Grey dispenser!!#steampunkchat -6:54 PM Apr 6th, 2012
jhameia @Jenny_Schwartz Walking teapots with coinslots.#steampunkchat -6:54 PM Apr 6th, 2012
Jenny_Schwartz @Brainmaker @Cinnamon_Quill Playfulness is the right word – thanks! Appeal of steampunk #steampunkchat -6:53 PM Apr 6th, 2012
jasonahlquist This concept has Bradurry all over it. #steampunkchat-6:53 PM Apr 6th, 2012
Jenny_Schwartz @LiaKeyes Definitely lots of tea! #steampunkchatMaybe tea pots that walk around? -6:53 PM Apr 6th, 2012
jhameia @LiaKeyes Is there a difference between behind-the-scenes animals and performing animals? #steampunkchat -6:53 PM Apr 6th, 2012
Brainmaker @Cinnamon_Quill @Jenny_Schwartz Consider it playfulness. Which is pretty much the secret of life. #steampunkchat-6:53 PM Apr 6th, 2012
LiaKeyes Lots of smoke/steam and mirrors required in this circus. And tea. Lots of tea. #steampunkchat -6:52 PM Apr 6th, 2012
RichardEPreston @PDXSteampunkFF That idea rocks! Amelia Earhart? #steampunkchat -6:52 PM Apr 6th, 2012
PDXSteampunkFF @Siri_Paulson Well I was thinking showbiz-ersatz, but in a setting w/ time machines, sure, why not? #steampunkchat-6:52 PM Apr 6th, 2012
Jenny_Schwartz @Brainmaker @Cinnamon_Quill If it works for cooking … (well, sometimes it fails!) #steampunkchat -6:52 PM Apr 6th, 2012
jhameia @jmarshallca Bahah Darwinist circus! Yes! @ScottWesterfeld#steampunkchat -6:52 PM Apr 6th, 2012
Jenny_Schwartz @Cinnamon_Quill Me too! better enthusiastic than silent #steampunkchat -6:51 PM Apr 6th, 2012
Brainmaker @Jenny_Schwartz @Cinnamon_Quill That’s a good thought, Jenny. “Let’s not let ignorance stop us!”#steampunkchat -6:51 PM Apr 6th, 2012
Betwixt_ Mmm…:) RT @AirshipEmbassy: @LiaKeyes Absinthe cotton candy #steampunkchat -6:51 PM Apr 6th, 2012
Cinnamon_Quill @Jenny_Schwartz True. I learned last week I’d rather spout ignorant ideas and be schooled than stay silent.#steampunkchat -6:51 PM Apr 6th, 2012
Siri_Paulson @PDXSteampunkFF Wouldn’t have to be an unlikely future. Someone from our present would stick out just as much!#steampunkchat -6:51 PM Apr 6th, 2012
jmarshallca @LiaKeyes Hey kids! Let’s go to the Darwinist Circus!#steampunkchat -6:51 PM Apr 6th, 2012
jhameia @PDXSteampunkFF !!! Time-travel would be a hilarious funfair ride! Like one of those panorama rooms… #steampunkchat-6:50 PM Apr 6th, 2012
Cinnamon_Quill @jhameia Okay, that’s awesome. #steampunkchat-6:50 PM Apr 6th, 2012
PDXSteampunkFF @Cinnamon_Quill Re: helium-filling clown clanks, that’s perfect. Exactly so. #steampunkchat -6:50 PM Apr 6th, 2012
jasonahlquist Dinosaurs instead of elephants #steampunkchat -6:50 PM Apr 6th, 2012
DelilahSDawson I just can’t get into the clown thing. I just can’t.#steampunkchat -6:50 PM Apr 6th, 2012
Jenny_Schwartz @Cinnamon_Quill Let’s not let ignorance stop us!#steampunkchat -6:50 PM Apr 6th, 2012
Cinnamon_Quill @LiaKeyes Chimeras! #steampunkchat -6:50 PM Apr 6th, 2012
Cinnamon_Quill This is the part where I just sit and listen because I don’t actually know any technical steampunk stuff. n_n#steampunkchat -6:49 PM Apr 6th, 2012
Jenny_Schwartz @Brainmaker @jhameia Definite inspiration#steampunkchat -6:49 PM Apr 6th, 2012
PDXSteampunkFF Ooh! For clowns/sideshow, people “harvested on time-travel expeditions”–outrageous costumes, unlikely futures.#steampunkchat -6:49 PM Apr 6th, 2012
LiaKeyes Are there animals in this circus? Or only mechanical ones? Or (shudder) a blend of the two? #steampunkchat -6:49 PM Apr 6th, 2012
jhameia @Cinnamon_Quill You might be onto something… smokescreen holograms? http://t.co/1sKiMHNG #steampunkchat-6:49 PM Apr 6th, 2012
Cinnamon_Quill @LiaKeyes The clowns are part automaton with the ability to blow helium into balloons. *makes nonsensical stuff up* I dunnoo! #steampunkchat -6:48 PM Apr 6th, 2012
Jenny_Schwartz @jolantru You can have mine. Really. Don’t want any roaches #steampunkchat -6:48 PM Apr 6th, 2012
Brainmaker @DelilahSDawson Goodness, this is sounding more like burning man every second! #steampunkchat Stiltwalkers! -6:48 PM Apr 6th, 2012
RichardEPreston @jasonahlquist Tent = Dirigible RULES ! lol#steampunkchat -6:48 PM Apr 6th, 2012
Jenny_Schwartz @jasonahlquist Oh yuk! worst thing is I can see that idea working…zombie auto clowns #steampunkchat -6:48 PM Apr 6th, 2012
LiaKeyes @PDXSteampunkFF Oh, wonderful! Thank you for that link! Historical conjuring. Of course! #steampunkchat -6:47 PM Apr 6th, 2012
Brainmaker @jhameia @Jenny_Schwartz The Sultan’s elephant is the best. I have a picture of it on my desk. #steampunkchat -6:47 PM Apr 6th, 2012
jhameia @LiaKeyes Something about it LOOKS magic, but it’s completely workable, just like machines in steampunk!#steampunkchat -6:47 PM Apr 6th, 2012
jolantru I want clockwork roaches. #steampunkchat -6:47 PM Apr 6th, 2012
jasonahlquist ”@Jenny_Schwartz: What do you do with the clowns? Human or automata? – how bout zombies. Corpes w turk dffrnce engine brains #steampunkchat“ -6:47 PM Apr 6th, 2012
jhameia @LiaKeyes I think magicians are kind of steampunk in their own way, esp those who use trapdoors and sleight-of-hand.#steampunkchat -6:47 PM Apr 6th, 2012
LiaKeyes @Cinnamon_Quill Right, and steampunk clowns would clown around with a steampunk… what? #steampunkchat -6:47 PM Apr 6th, 2012
DelilahSDawson <–that fellow has a clockwork monkey on his shoulder most of the time. But the magic and the steampunk are separate. #steampunkchat -6:46 PM Apr 6th, 2012
PDXSteampunkFF @LiaKeyes Take, for example, this fine fellow:http://t.co/SgnnjxnQ #steampunkchat -6:46 PM Apr 6th, 2012
Cinnamon_Quill @LiaKeyes He would have steampunky things to make his illusions. *is a brilliant definitioner* #steampunkchat -6:46 PM Apr 6th, 2012
Jenny_Schwartz @PDXSteampunkFF I like that — charm of act their interplay #steampunkchat -6:45 PM Apr 6th, 2012
LiaKeyes @unwoman Sounds so fun! Define ‘steampunk magicians’ – what would make a magician steampunk? #steampunkchat -6:45 PM Apr 6th, 2012
unwoman @jhameia thank you! I’m just so relieved I finally finished my little documentary. #steampunkchat -6:45 PM Apr 6th, 2012
Jenny_Schwartz @jhameia We are steampunkers! Not daunted by anything — except cockroaches 
#steampunkchat -6:45 PM Apr 6th, 2012
jhameia RT @unwoman: I believe we’re going to have steampunk magician(s) at Clockwork Alchemy at Friday’s Windup Cabaret.#steampunkchat http://t.co/pBT1Nhgt -6:45 PM Apr 6th, 2012
PDXSteampunkFF @Jenny_Schwartz Both. The charm of the act is their interplay. #steampunkchat -6:44 PM Apr 6th, 2012
jhameia @unwoman Thanks, Erica! (Good to see you tonight!)#steampunkchat -6:44 PM Apr 6th, 2012
Siri_Paulson @jasonahlquist Now that would be one heck of a trapeze show…dangling from a dirigible! #steampunkchat -6:44 PM Apr 6th, 2012
Jenny_Schwartz @jhameia Yes! that doubt about what is human#steampunkchat -6:44 PM Apr 6th, 2012
jhameia @Jenny_Schwartz Oh my god the blocking logistics sound like they would be hell on the nerves to choreograph#steampunkchat -6:44 PM Apr 6th, 2012
Jenny_Schwartz @jasonahlquist Or in a submarine! Great idea#steampunkchat -6:44 PM Apr 6th, 2012
LiaKeyes Also, SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES by Ray Bradbury is fab – if you haven’t read it, do. #steampunkchat -6:44 PM Apr 6th, 2012
DelilahSDawson @LiaKeyes LOOOVED Night Circus! Loved the idea of wondering the circus instead of being directed. Brilliant.#steampunkchat -6:43 PM Apr 6th, 2012
jhameia @Jenny_Schwartz Both! Make it so people can’t tell the difference. Would make clowns even scarier! #steampunkchat -6:43 PM Apr 6th, 2012
unwoman I believe we’re going to have steampunk magician(s) at Clockwork Alchemy at Friday’s Windup Cabaret. #steampunkchathttp://t.co/pBT1Nhgt -6:43 PM Apr 6th, 2012
Jenny_Schwartz @jhameia Or maybe have it work in a spiral, so people get closer than further from ring? #steampunkchat -6:43 PM Apr 6th, 2012
jasonahlquist Maybe the “big tent” is actually the inside of a giant dirigible #steampunkchat -6:43 PM Apr 6th, 2012
Siri_Paulson @PDXSteampunkFF Oooooh. I LIKE that idea!#steampunkchat -6:43 PM Apr 6th, 2012
jhameia @Jenny_Schwartz It makes me think of those revolving restaurants in some tall tower buildings. If you keep it slow and steady #steampunkchat -6:42 PM Apr 6th, 2012
Jenny_Schwartz What do you do with the clowns? Human or automata? #steampunkchat -6:42 PM Apr 6th, 2012
LiaKeyes Anyone read THE NIGHT CIRCUS? Lots of rooms within the circus, and the audience wanders through them, experiencing the shows. #steampunkchat -6:42 PM Apr 6th, 2012
DelilahSDawson Although it would be fun to see a big top like Spaceship Earth, where the cart goes around a sphere to see different acts. #steampunkchat -6:42 PM Apr 6th, 2012
PDXSteampunkFF @jasonahlquist @liakeyes There are absinthe suckers, why not cotton candy? #steampunkchat -6:42 PM Apr 6th, 2012
jhameia @RichardEPreston Regular ol’ onomatopeia #steampunkchat -6:41 PM Apr 6th, 2012
LiaKeyes @PDXSteampunkFF Yes, love the idea that the circus has a sinister purpose that audience is ignorant of. #steampunkchat -6:41 PM Apr 6th, 2012
Jenny_Schwartz @jhameia I think not having steady ground is kinda baseline terrifying. Where do you stand your ground?#steampunkchat -6:41 PM Apr 6th, 2012
#steampunkchat -6:41 PM Apr 6th, 2012
RichardEPreston @jhameia Im new to twittering – what does Wooooops XD mean? lol #steampunkchat -6:40 PM Apr 6th, 2012
jmarshallca @jhameia Electricity Eaters would be all kinds of awesome! Then they can shoot lightning out of their fingers!#steampunkchat -6:40 PM Apr 6th, 2012
PDXSteampunkFF @LiaKeyes The crowd’s adrenaline & pheromones are being harvested toward some terrible (mecha-insectoid?) purpose. #steampunkchat -6:40 PM Apr 6th, 2012
jhameia @Jenny_Schwartz REVOLVING SEATS! AWESOME!#steampunkchat -6:40 PM Apr 6th, 2012
DelilahSDawson We don’t have a big tent. People get cagey, when you crowd ‘em all together. The show stays outside, lit with lanterns! #steampunkchat -6:39 PM Apr 6th, 2012
jhameia @LiaKeyes FIRE EATERS! Well, electricity eaters.#steampunkchat -6:39 PM Apr 6th, 2012
Jenny_Schwartz @LiaKeyes Inside the big tent? Revolving seats, going round the tent so you slowly see from every direction#steampunkchat -6:39 PM Apr 6th, 2012
RichardEPreston @Siri_Paulson Yeah i would like to hope thats it! Absinthe cotton candy! I want the absinthe cotton candy!#steampunkchat -6:39 PM Apr 6th, 2012
jhameia @LiaKeyes A harlequin becomes possessive of the ringmaster’s pet automaton. The strongman and the magician fight.#steampunkchat -6:39 PM Apr 6th, 2012
LiaKeyes Are you ready to move inside the big tent yet? What would you hope to find there? #steampunkchat -6:38 PM Apr 6th, 2012
jhameia @LiaKeyes The animals get into unfortunate food. The machines fly out of control. The roller coaster ought to come alive.#steampunkchat -6:38 PM Apr 6th, 2012
Siri_Paulson @PDXSteampunkFF @RichardEPreston Great minds think alike? #steampunkchat -6:37 PM Apr 6th, 2012
RichardEPreston lol shows u what i know! lmfao #steampunkchat-6:37 PM Apr 6th, 2012
LiaKeyes @jasonahlquist Love the Worlds Fair vibe idea. Opens it up to so much more in the way of inventions and wonders.#steampunkchat -6:37 PM Apr 6th, 2012
jhameia @LiaKeyes Well, management always provides good popcorn fodder. #steampunkchat -6:37 PM Apr 6th, 2012
RichardEPreston A mad apothecary who abducts attendees and replaces organs w machine versions #steampunkchat -6:37 PM Apr 6th, 2012
jhameia @DelilahSDawson That’s probably because “candy floss” is an actual term for cotton candy XD #steampunkchat -6:37 PM Apr 6th, 2012
PDXSteampunkFF @RichardEPreston Minus the love story, that is.#steampunkchat -6:36 PM Apr 6th, 2012
jasonahlquist A less sinister mood could be pulled off with a worlds fair vibe. Idealistic Imperial Braggadocio #steampunkchat -6:36 PM Apr 6th, 2012
LiaKeyes What jealousies might threaten the future of the carnival/circus/fun fair? #steampunkchat -6:36 PM Apr 6th, 2012
DelilahSDawson @jhameia I originally called it “candy fluff”, but my editor changed it to floss, and now it’s stuck forever. =)#steampunkchat -6:36 PM Apr 6th, 2012
Cinnamon_Quill @jhameia *shudders* Not the Small World ride…#steampunkchat -6:36 PM Apr 6th, 2012
PDXSteampunkFF @RichardEPreston That’s more-or-less the plot of Tick Tock, this year’s RCSFF award winner for story & worldbuilding.#steampunkchat -6:36 PM Apr 6th, 2012
jhameia @RichardEPreston Whoooops XD #steampunkchat -6:35 PM Apr 6th, 2012

jhameia @PDXSteampunkFF It might have to depend on the non-carnival world-building. #steampunkchat -6:30 PM Apr 6th, 2012
