Gaslight Gathering 2011
26 04, 12
As we’re busily making preparations for the second Gaslight Gathering, we thought we would take a moment to reflect on last year’s Gathering, a wildly successful event right here in our own backyard, figuratively speaking. We don’t call San Diego “America’s Finest City” for nothing!
With two and a half days of events, we got to try out a few costumes (although I confess to devolving to my limited-edition D&McT t-shirt for the end of the last day out of sheer exhaustion from wearing multiple layers). Like this one where I’m wearing my John Bull topper and the cool, purple leaf vest my mom made me, but no leather duster. (It gets really hot!) Drake proves that he has more fortitude than I by wearing his.

Oooo, McTrowell loves Drake
We also bought spiffy masks for the masquerade ball. You can hardly recognize us in these clever disguises.

We made some new friends, like Sheriff Jack Webster.

Squee! Can’t wait. See all of you San Diego bound steampunks soon at this year’s (May 11-13, 2012).
