- Here are a few scenes I captured at Steam Powered: the California Steampunk Convention, from Oct 31 to Nov 1 2008. Featuring steampunk fashions and performances by Abney Park and Platform One.

I love how much detail there is in all of these costumes. I've seen some of these people on DeviantART.
Excellent work, thanks for uploading.
Awe man! I wish I was there! Thank you for putting this up! :)
Wow, thank you so much for sharing this! I love to see everyone's outfits and inventions! I wish I could make some of those awesome things too.
I'm new to steampunk, but I am already in love. :)
Thanks for posting. Nice film.
You sir, are an awesome interviewer! So friendly!!
Amazing fashion, I wish I can buy and wear everything! Lucky you Dan!!
amazing!
Thanks! It's "Are We Having Fun Yet" by Dr. Steel.
OoO i wanna gooo!!! I'm only recently getting into steampunk but I absolutely adore it! I'm now constantly on the lookout for stuff to use in costumes. ^^
this is fascinated. i didn't know there was an actual steampunk community. i knew about the steampunk genre of films and books. i love how this links to goth and new wave music too.
You must! It looks epic - abney park, ghostfire, joe black and thomas thruax are all playing. I CAN'T WAIT YAY!
This is amazing each piece is better then the last!!! I would love to dress this way even if it was just for a day idc it's amazing!
I think steampunk is really cool. I really give them props for making all that, crazy talent.
Dude i forgot how cool this stuff was!!
Oh mann I would soo love to go to this. I'm in love with steampunk
4:57 was my favorite steampunk girl,since it had been commented on by others.This video is my first time seeing anything other than google pictures,and I'm not too surprised to see so many basically make believe type things,but the second band and the Steam Punk Ghost Busters really made me decide to keep looking around. Nice video.
Yes, it was at the Domain Hotel on El Camino in Santa Clara, right next door.
AWESOME!!!!
Absolutely amazing. By the way a "Diatonic Button Accordion" is an easy-mode accordion. All the buttons are already tuned to a key, so a "Diatonic Button Accordion" in C major tuning would have the notes C, D, E, F, G, A, B and C for each button therefore u can never really hit a "wrong note"
omg this is awesome
Wonderful!!! Love SteamPunk!!
OOh, I'm in your video! I love how you have Dr. Steel playing when you are videotaping us Toy Soldiers. =]
Haha, I feel that my costumes are a bit half assed after seeing this video. Thank you for posting this.
So jealous! Abney Park!
I had a dream about a group of people who are like this...just found out about steampunk today and....IT'S AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
wow, alot of awesome costumes there:) The girl with the wings is sooo cool^_^
Very cool
@Magnemitey That is Abney Park. They're GREAT! :)
im soo glad you showed me the steampunkghostbusters site becuase i have a spirit of an airship pirate in my quarters and he is stealing everything i own!
so incredibly inventive!!! steam punks are clever!!
Thanks! Well front row has its advantages, including better sound. I'll post a more complete AP set later this week, but sadly, my 4Gig card was acting up and only captured about a minute of video at-a-time before it got all "memory card error" at me. So, Derelict is in pieces.
This is what I love about the Steampunk community. Friendly faces, with even friendlier attitudes. I am still new to Steampunk, but my God I'm in love with it. I hope you guys don't look down upon a newcomer! (I'm sure you don't)
@creep2nyt
Abney Park- Herr Drosselmeyer's Doll. I never heard of this band, but with that song I so am a fan now, I love that song! You can listen to the full song on CZcams, but also you can buy it on their website.
When he said "those are some nice gloves" we ALL knew what he really meant...
@DrMinion333 don't worry I'm new too and I completely agree I'm in love with the style and everything! So the "elders" are full blown gadgets while we are little bolts :)
Did you hear that?
That was the sound of my heart, shattering into a million pieces, because my friend and I weren't able to make it to the convention.
(*sob*)
I know a steampunk inspired comic Lady Mechanica and I love her outfits!
the lady with wings was awesome!!!
The outfits are amazing and what brought me into Steampunk was none other than Bioshock Infinite :D
those wings are the coolest things ever
I have to admit I love the. Steampunk culture. So damn cool.
holy crap I want to go there!
creativity
Steampunk Ghostbusters...my life is now complete.
:O i wanted to see her blunderbuss!! i love those things!!
I hope one of these comes to the nyc area
That was Dr. Steel, doing "Are We Having Fun Yet?" (Note the Dr. Steel cameo on that girl's corset!)
I knew there was a use for my top hat somewhere other than for the floor shows!
Man I want to get into this soooooo badly!!!!!
yeah, this is great stuff. better than any other fantasy stuff i can think of, much much more imaginative.
@HalunkeHeadburn Finally found it... it is "are we having fun yet?" by Dr. Steel. :-D

Comically, I live in CA.

That is so COOL!!!! Gahh!
Hey Hey.. Tom is crazy video!
The cost can obviously vary a lot depending on how much you make and stuff, but from basic costumes to the amazing ones I'd suppose would be a few hundred dollars.
Holysh!t. I've never been into this at all.. & Although most consume inventors appeared nerdy.. you can't say the women's fashions weren't beautiful!!! & Abney Park was awesome! More belly dancing influence, please!
@Iheartnihon Actually, Steampunk is based on the Victorian era, (Queen Victoria reined from ~1876 to 1901), so that was more than 10 years after slavery was abolished in the US. :) And Will Smith was TOTALLY steampunk in the movie Wild Wild West. So join in the fun.
anyone knows the song they sang at 7:54? I love it... help pls. thanks!
AHHH THIS IS SO AWESOME :O:O
is there a convention like this in Toronto?! :'(
Great vid, wish I was there!
Lukevash I meant to +1 you but hit the wrong icon. My bad :)
anyone know the name of the last song with the two guys in the guitar???.........
THE SONG SOUNDS SO RAW!!
i love it!! anyone??
@Jonnykproductions Its more of style rather than having to use specific colors. My outfit is completely white and black with some blue thrown in.
anyone know where i can get custom goggles made? thanks
@cprich22 I am not trying to be funny. I am just wondering what bands make steampunk music. I would like to listen to some and see if I like it.
i didnt even know they had this
Wow this is awesome, do they still have this every year? i hope so. Great vid.
steampunks with steam??? my mind was just blown away
Wats the song before platform one? The one with rowling... ^-^
@TheLongasen That's Kato from steampunkcouture.
Very nice video
Could you pls tell me whats the name of the song in 4.58 min?
Bye
Those Steampunk Ghostbusters.
Fucking A, man.
i love this, the women dress so elegant with that rough kickassery edge
so ... AWESOME!
I must start fixing my costume 8D
They seem like they're having a jolly time
I've always loved Steampunk fashion but have never really tried it...I'm probably going to though, it looks like quite a hobby.
@howes1960
WHEN? and, WHERE?!?! =)
love it.. girl with wings was cute and interesting
@earieknight well, steampunk is sort of an "alternate reality" type of thing. You see, in the Victorian era, people believed that in the future, everything would be steam powered. With steampunk, we dress and act as if that was how it played out. Hence, the Victorian era clothing, but also, since its the future, we have all of the steam and metal technology, such as zeppelins and steam powered weapons that they thought they'd have by now. Check out Wikipedia. The article explains it pretty well.
is that a proton pack? 0:45 lol WHO YA GONNA CALL? awesome vid.
I just discovered Steampunk on Tumblr and omg I'm in love
