While we are still here in Sweden, let’s pop in to talk with Lykke Banck, who is one of the administrators of the social group Steampunk Soder.
Hej, Lykke! It’s great to catch up with you again. Can you share with fellow travelers where is your group located?
Lykke Banck : Hej! We are located in southern Sweden and there is where the social events are held.
How did the group first come together?
Lykke Banck : We were a bounce of steampunks who wanted to bring steampunk to southern Sweden. Sweden is a big country and a lot of people don’t have the time and opportunity to travel far to get to an event.
It hasn’t changed much but some have gone and new ones have arrived.
That’s certainly the cycle of almost every group. What are some of the eventsyou do together?
Lykke Banck : We are a small group so mostly we meet up for coffee, visiting different conversations and museums, dressed up in our outfits. It’s fun and we get a lot of positive responses from the muggles. 😉
It’s always nice to be appreciated and steampunk are a pretty friendly bunch. What has been among your favorite events?
Lykke Banck : We have as mentioned earlier steam coffee and we have participated in the different conversations. My husband and I had a steampunk wedding a few years ago.
A steampunk wedding can be quite an event in itself, and bound to be great fun! How would Steampunk Soder welcome a newly arrived steampunk?
Lykke Banck : With a big smile. 🙂
Swedes are so friendly! Qhats the best way for travelers to get in touch with you?
Lykke Banck : Become a member of the Steampunk Soder page at Facebook and get all the updates from there.
Head on over to Facebook, everyone!
