With the catching ends the pleasure of the chase.

STEAM
8
is upon us!
Hard
to believe that six months have passed since STEAM
7 , but it’s true, a new hunting season is upon us.
Just
a quick recap, STEAM 8, a steampunk
themed Second Life (SL) hunt runs from March 1st to 31st inworld. As usual the Hunt has a subtheme to the main
steampunk one. This time it’s “The
Lost World” honoring Sir
Arthur Conan Doyle. (He
did write stories without Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson. Read it, it’s a great story.) Participating merchants are incorporating
this concept into their gifts to the hunters.
My good
friend, Perryn
Peterson, freed himself from his busy schedule to give me an update on
STEAM 8 and another new project of his.
(More on this later.) Perryn
can’t believe that he’s up to the eighth STEAM event. (Time does fly even inworld.)
Perryn happily announces that favorite, old
merchants along with excellent, new ones will have their wares on display. The old favorites include Gunther Berthold of Steampunk
Works who has an incredible mini-hunt when hunters reach the final stage. Oriolus Oliva of The Golden
Oriole has his usual mystery waiting to be solved with hints and such
like. Noddington Schmooz’s
trippy shop is back as well. But these
are just a few of the many others reprising their role as merchants.
New
merchants joining the Hunt include Crosswired Deanimator
of High Mobius Creations, Oma
Infinity who has recently opened her shop, Art by Oma, in Mieville Poe has
some interesting art work, and Miss
Briony Juran owner of the Cog & Grog shop who shows off the work
Arcadia Asylum. Plus many more!
Now for Perryn’s latest, new
project which I can now announce. Perryn
will be celebrating St. Patrick’s Day
shortly. Stay tuned for another story in
my blog about this new festival!
I want to thank Perryn for
his time and assistance. I look forward to visiting with the hunters and
merchants during the remainder of the Hunt.
So, remember! STEAM 8 is already
underway. Please go and see the
beautiful work prepared for it by the creators, meet the merchants and other
hunters, and see all the work and effort that Perryn and his team have put into
this spectacular and one of a kind event!
As always, I’m grateful to
all for their kindness and time in stopping to talk with a stranger who was
passing through their lives.
Below are a few pictures of
some of STEAM 8 and the Steampunk Museum.
I hope you drop by and see for yourself!
