Ah, sad timess.... no puppets for me today :(

Sadly, we all overslept to the point where seeing puppets would not work before 3pm......

So I spent the entire day looking up steampunk to do research for a comic I will hopefully be doing soon after the plotting period.

So ready? Ready? Some of the coolest images I've seen today.

Star Wars Steampunk: 




Still loving Darth Vader in his steampunk form, but Obi Wan Kenobi looks super cool.

Then, everybody wants to have a computer monitor that is Victorian right?



Yup- totally would rock that in my room. And finally, I would totally love to rock this bike in Chicago: http://steubenswheelmen.blogspot.com/2008/06/outtakes.html. You should totally go to his website and check him out.


My grandparents and mom think I'm crazy, but this is what happens when I'm trapped at home all day. :)

Atlanta

Hey-o,

Soooo Buck's Rock Camp is over and so, naturally, I drove from Connecticut to Maryland and just flew in to Atlanta to visit my g-parents.


Today I spent a wonder magnificent day checking out vintage and novelty stores at Little Five Points, which I completely recommend to anyone in or traveling through the Atlanta area.

My grandpa was waaaay too worried about us not taking the highway and going through rough areas, but on the way back we definitely didn't pass through anything horrible not like my trips into Baltimore on 40 and into Chicago from Oak Park :).

Sooooo one over-priced but adorable 1950s vintage dress later, I am super excited for the next Atlanta adventure.

Maybe at some point I'll post a picture of my dress, but I need a belt and a few other things first :).


Next trip = puppet theatre and I am SOOO taking pictures and putting them up.
