We conversed with Marcus Guillard of One Hat One Hand Productions for some insight, and it’s clear this crew walks the walk. 1. Tell us about the project(s) you’re bringing to Maker Faire. M.T. M.T.

NPHC Greek Information - Black/African American Cultural Center The National Pan-Hellenic Council was founded in 1930 to serve as a governing body to the nine nationally recognized historically black fraternities and sororities. Its purpose is to foster cooperative actions of its members in dealing with matters of mutual concern. To this end, the NPHC promotes the well-being of its affiliate fraternities and sororities, facilitates the establishment and development of local councils of the NPHC, and provides leadership training for its constituents. The council's purpose is to promote unity and expose members to the "service for life" philosophy and foster leadership development and scholarship among the “Divine Nine” chapters which belong to the NPHC. Furthermore, the National Pan-Hellenic Council provides a forum for participation and interaction among the members of affiliate organizations and the organizations themselves. It provides for a stronger unified voice and a stronger unified body. Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. (1906) Contact: N/A

Steampunk's subculture revealed Jake Von Slatt's steampunk persona is of a gentleman scientist tinkering on his clockwork contraptions, hoping to one day present his discoveries to the Royal Academy in London. By day Linux systems administrator Sean Slattery, in his other life as the top-hatted "Hieronymus Isambard 'Jake' Von Slatt," Slattery applies Neo-Victorian modifications to cars, buses and computers in his Steampunk Workshop outside Boston. Steampunk originated in the 1990s to describe science fiction that was an offshoot of the cyberpunk genre, but has since gained a real-world footing in fashion and design that evokes the Victorian era. The elegant creations of self-styled "steampunk contraptors" such as Von Slatt have a growing network of fans and have been getting the press to prove it. Von Slatt, Richard "Dr. The beginnings "While steampunk is very strongly informed by history, it approaches that history from a set of modern sensibilities.

steampunk fashion - A sense of structure Ladies and gentlemen, I have noticed recently a general interest in having rules; or perhaps not rules, but a framework in which to explore. I suppose this makes sense, for people are generally most comfortable if they have a structure to be free in. Often people post here wondering if their outfits are "steampunk," or if there is a way to integrate their personal style into the steampunk environment. Given this situation, I would like to offer those of you interested in having some basic rules the following list of points to use as guidelines. As a disclaimer, I should like to state that these points are based upon my own experiences, observations, reading of steampunk literature, and academic understanding of history. Rule One: Steampunk fashion is a real-world reproduction of the clothing that is or could be found in steampunk literature. Rule Two: When in doubt, dress Victorian and then add. Rule Four: There is no "steampunk color." Rule Five: You are allowed to like other genres.
