Beyond Victoriana 
Can’t wait for the con
This sounds like a lot of fun!
Hm, not a lot of replies yet. I’ve never been to Portland, or to a Steampunk event. Sounds fantastic.
Looks like an awesome event. I would love to go to the ConnectiCon but will be in LA for Blogging While Brown.
I may well be able to manage a quantum tunnel to drop me at this event! It does look rather exciting. And an excellent line-up for music as well!
A friend of ours wants us to visit Oregon, so this would be a great opportunity to do so.
Whoo I need another steampunk convention till AnachroCon next year. This is perfect!
Going to this would be wonderful! Thanks so much for the chance to go. C:
Panels look interesting, wish informative ones like this were at AX. Steampunk panels there are very one-dimensional.
I’d love to win passes! VP can’t make it to another con I’d planned to go to, and this way I’d get to see another con and them! Awesome.
I haven’t been to Portland in years! I still plan on moving out there! this would be a great re-visiting of the city i want to live in! Whats better than Portland? going there for a steampunk con!
hadn’t heard of this con thanks for heads up!
My niece is visiting that weekend and I would love to introduce her to Steampunk.
That should be a fun event to attend.
That sounds like a load of fun. Count me in!
Excited – an event like this is long overdue. Can’t wait to see all the goodness on tap.
Sounds excelent
It certainly would be nice to show off some of my new steam toys and engines = )
This looks to be an incredible show! Great line up!

(Out of curiosity who won?)
It was Professor Jeremiah Morrow. He was absolutely thrilled to get the passes, and ran into my friend Jaymee Goh while she was there presenting.
