Happy Birthday H.G. Wells!
To celebrate Wells’ work and his influence on steampunk, let’s celebrate with a free ticket to the Victoria Steam Exposition, happening this weekend, September 24 and 25, in beautiful Victoria, British Columbia, Canada.
This year’s Victoria Steam Exposition will be held in the magnificent 1890 edifice of Craigdarroch Castle, a monument to the exuberance of the Victorian age. While there, you’ll get to see artists and writers Kaja and Phil Foglio, San Francisco’s glam-noir siren Jill Tracy, and featured artist, Kyle Miller.
To get this ticket, leave a (moderated) brief comment below telling me why going to VSE II is important to you. Time is running out so leave your comment by 6pm, PST, Thursday night, Sept 22. Good luck!

There is a winner!
After reviewing quite a few submissions, with many good expressions of why it was important to go the VSE II this weekend, there is, sadly, only one ticket. I wish everyone could go.
Caroline, I’ve sent an email out to you regarding the ticket.
Thanks to everyone for submitting an entry, and to the many, many of you reading the blog and main website – I hope you find all of the information helpful and useful!
