Showdown @ Unobtainium 2012: CAST

http://showdownatunobtainium.com/ 

What do you get when you marry a steampunk meet up with a comic con, a music festival, a county fair, the "virtual-world-made-real" approach of a Renaissance festival, toss in a rabid fan base, add a plethora of inventors, hackers, revisionist historians, and "makers," wrap it in a carefully constructed mythos......and add electricity? 

Many thanks to our sponsors!

Pieces Submitted for Display at Austin's Recycled Reads

FLIGHTS OF FANCY
Her flights of fancy; delicate and intricate, all a drowning fantasy.

GARDEN
A bright love attracted a dangerous beauty in the garden of my heart.

GRIT
It was the west, and she would be won; yet not without a battle. 
Her fight was strong, arm of brass and steel, molten as they flew.
She grinds the gears, locks her heart and falls into abandon.

NEVERLOST
Our strength fadedoff,
Our souls flickeredout;
In the end,
Our love was neverlost.

SHOWDOWN
Perhaps two men were cut of the same material but their 
stances fell on very different grounds.

Tesla vs Edison Stencil & Spray Paint Pieces for Austin's 
The Showdown At Unobtainium in November 2012.

WE HAD SOMETHING
We were together,
through thick and thin.
Trite as it sounds, we were still happy.
What happened? What changed?
In the end, we have the memory. 
Our Home. Our Shelter.
