Hi all

I noticed with delight that Adelaide Steampunk is featured in the 'Vibe' section of this weeks local Messager Newspaper! ('Guardian' Messager Wed Jun 23rd - Pg. 44) I'm not sure if the article has been published in the other regions of the Messanger Newspaper, so you'd need to check that out yourselves.

The writer interviewed Christian Reynolds of Adelaide Steampunk, who explained what the movement is and what influenced its conception. A large full colour photo was included of four steampunkers in full costume standing at the end of Rundle Mall. (I can imagine the looks from the passers-by! happy.gif) Well done, Julia, Christian, Tammy and Ben!

If you haven't checked it out, do so, it explains steampunk well enough for the non-punker to understand what its all about.

I've since found out that they were also featured in the 'City' and 'Southern Times' Messangers (Well, that's the impression I got from the Adelaide Steampunk Facebook page which has the three articles there... http://www.facebook....14630031&ref=ts Look at the photos section)

Thanx for the link Pontip smile.gif I had no idea that they had an E version!

Check out the SA Steampunk Facebook page if you want to see the other articles (same/almost the same wording but with different photos).
