Well I went to Metrocon this past weekend and the theme was Steampunk. I decided to write this so if anyone else goes to another Steampunk themed/like conventions- they might see one of these names there.

I missed the ball, So I can't rate their performance- However I attended a two hour long panel by them on Steampunk Fashion and they were wonderful. They were VERY entertaining needless to say. They pulled out some of their Steampunk gadgets and they were amazing. They told us what they were and everything. I will have pictures up in the future. A couple stories from Danny made us almost fall to the ground in laughter.
Bottom Line: They put on great panels.

They were good for awhile to me. I wouldn't wait to see them again really. They are awesome machines and the lightning is wonderful however... It was hard to get into.
This may be skewed a little do to the fact they were playing at the Rave when Techno and such were needed.
Bottom Line: Counts on what your music preference is.

The group- Come on... We all know their music is wonderful. That's a given- But the members of the band are the nicest people you will ever meet. Nathaniel and Kristina were in the lobby before the show talking to fans. They were unbelievably nice open to taking pictures- and after the show The whole band was out packing up and allowed fans to meet them.
The next day I noticed Finn and looked up and Nathaniel was waving at me. Daniel was there too. The three were extremely nice and I got a picture and talked with them.
Then in the dealers room I ran into Captain Robert! I talked to him- Got a picture. The band is seriously full of the nicest people ever.
Finn managed to get the convention center security to let us go to the edge of the stage! Fun people!
By Sunday I had gotten pictures of every band member and hugs from each one.
Bottom Line: These are extremely friendly people who care about their fans.
