The Big Brass Ball

The Big Brass Ball is an experiment in creating a really, really fun, inclusive night for pretty much anyone with an interest in things steampunkish, neo-Victorian, or generally retro-futuristic… as well as anyone who simply thinks those things are cool.

The fourth SPWF dance night, “The Big Brass Ball”, will take place Thursday, April 8th.     We start at 6:30 p.m. and go from there.

The Big Brass Ball is not just a dance – it’s dinner and a show! (It’s not a really really fancy dinner, but it’s still an insanely great value.) For your $15, you get:

~The dance, with DJ Baron von Crankshaft III,

~For the Crankshaft Birthday Bash, hailing from the arcologies of distant Tokyo, DJ Tentacle Airship

~Our small group of splendid steamy vendors,

~Performances by Matt DeBlass and our house band Psyche Corporation,

~Special guest Minerva Divine of Nymph Imprint

~As well as, generally, random neat things by various talented attendees,

and:

-Either two drinks, or a dinner which includes:

A tasty burger cooked how you like it; or a chicken sandwich or a cheese steak sandwich, or rigatoni with chicken…as well as a green salad, French fries, and a soda!
We will also have, for your pleasure, Gen from Psyche Corp hosting a discussion in the Library. Along with event favorite storytelling game “The Adventures of Baron von Munchausen”!

See you there, you rollickin’ revelers!

The Big Brass Ball takes place at the hotel which will be hosting the Steampunk World’s Fair. It’s created by, among others, the folks behind Wicked Faire, and some of the folks behind the Steampunk World’s Fair. As a new night, we succeed or fail based on how happy we can make you. Do come out and help us become something amazing!
