~Questions and Answers with Lord Bobbins~
Lord Hasting R. Bobbins, Steampunk Lord and organizer of Teslacon, the definitive Steampunk Convention, took time out from his busy schedule (he is planning on taking us to the moon after all) to answer a few silly steampunk questions. Sadly, if you haven't already booked passage for Teslacon, all the tickets are gone into the aether... more than three months before the event without any guests announced yet! Though, I am curious as to who those guests might be.
