Now that you're a Steampunk, why not plan a social activity?

One of the wonderful things about being Steampunk here in San Diego is that we love getting the whole "family" together.  Of course it is also nice to have a small get-together with one or two fellow Steampunks and just go do something simple.  So, find some Steampunks and go somewhere or make something or discuss a topic or simply enjoy tea with each other.  You shouldn't have to wait for someone else to plan a Steampunk activity in your community before you get out and steam-around town.  A community cannot survive with only one or two people planning all of the fun things.  If you want it to happen, make it so.  People will love you for it, and remember, "if you build it, they will come."   Come by our MeetUp group and spread the word about any activity you are planning!

Below are some suggestions of local Steampunk activities anyone can organize:

We've included here a list of fabulous San Diego places where you may like to go all-dressed-up in your Steampunk outfits.  Sometimes you may want to be an adventurer or a tinkerer, and other times the location may call for more "civilized" attire, or possibly even Victorian beachwear.  Of course there is always the classic airship captain look, or the always appropriate mad-scientist garb.  Whatever the activity you choose to do out in your community, whether shopping or picnicing or a Steampunk photo shoot, etc., please remember never to brandish a prop weapon or weapon-like item in public.  This is for everyone's safety.
