Chicago Meetup!!



Tempus Fugit! A Steampunk Scavenger Hunt


Attention Rogues, Mercenaries, and sundry Nefarious Characters! Cogsworthy Enterprises requires your services in "acquiring" various artifacts for purposes of research and collection. You will compete with each other for fame and glory in a game of time-traveling, puzzle-solving, and general no-gooding!!

Miss Prytania Cogsworthy (Heiress to the Cogsworthy Automaton fortune) requests the presence of all available Chronambulists on Sunday, March 16th at the Field Museum. Meet in the main gallery at the sign of the blue beetle at 11:30am - you will begin the hunt at noon and continue until 4pm. Admission to the museum is $14 (discounts available for students and Chicago residents with ID) per person, and parking is available for $15 per carriage. You may elect to take a public autobus or ride together to defray this cost. Joining our endeavor is otherwise free. Appropriate couture is requested, but in no way required, and a group photo opportunity will be organized for those in proper dress. Please do remember to wear comfortable shoes, as this event will require a good deal of footwork.  Inquiries regarding shared motor-carriages  may be addressed to Miss Molotov (monstilocks). A group dinner is possible afterwards, as well as a meetup at  Neo Ballroom for dancing and drinks if enough interest is generated.

I really do wish I lived somewhere other than Houston.

Steam over oil any day.

I've been meaning to head down to the Field for a while now. I don't really have any steamy-wear, but I do like taking pictures. Would it be okay to just show up for a bit of photography?

Neat! I'm picking up a new camera on Saturday so this will be a good chance to test it out. Would you mind if maybe one or two of my lolita friends tagged along?

I totally missed this. *facepalm*

Are you on the meetup.com group? then I will have to make you one of the group organizers as I know you're pretty involved with the local steampunk community. :)

I love you forever for putting the city in the title, so I didn't have to get all excited, read the whole thing, then realize I couldn't go. But man, that sounds like fun and I wish I could go.

Damn. I used to live in Chicago too. Now I live in stupid New Jersey. I WANNA GO BACK TO THE WINDY CITY!

Fun fact, I lived two blocks away from the Rainforest Cafe when I lived in Chicago.
