A great photo was taken over the weekend in the Highlands of Louisville of

Mad Mary Hatchet and Samuel Keystone Sprocket

as they attended the Caufield's Halloween Parade 2013.

Grand Marshal of this year's parade was Butch Patrick, famous for playing

the role of little Eddie Munster on the hit TV show The Munsters,



One week from tonight (Saturday, October 19th), we will meet for our October meetup at Sam's Food & Spirits on Charlestown Road in New Albany, Indiana and I hope to see everyone there once again as our year is fast winding to a close.
Two meetups (October & November) and one BIG event (the Belle of Louisville Halloween Scaryoke & Dance Cruise) left for 2013.  The year has been good to us as we've grown tremendously and had loads of fun and camaraderie in doing so.
We will be taking December off due to the holidays and to give us a chance to regroup and make plans for things happening in 2014.  At any rate, I hope you will join me in letting this year go out with a Bang! and I will see you next weekend.

Until then,
* Sam

Thanks to all who came out and helped us kick off the Halloween season with

the Louisville Ghostwalk Tour

with our host, Robert Parker (pictured here with us above).

Only two more meetups (October & November) and one more event (the Belle Cruise) left for us in 2013,

we will be taking December off for the holidays and return again in 2014.

Hope to see ya before then.

While attending the 2013 Old West Fest Steampunk Weekend in Ohio this past Sunday,

I entered my Victorian era Mobile Phone in the Inventors Contraption Contest

and won Best of Show.

Best Oddity - Dr. Robert

Best of Show - Sam Sprocket

Best Weapon - Mr. Tesla

The Victorian era Mobile Phone was invented by Professor J. Phineas Bullock (only because someone had written their name, Bullock, on the straps in permanent marker when I purchased them from Goodwill) in 1878 and has the canvas backpack straps for mobility, the antenna for reception...it's a mobile phone. It operates off of Aether crystals but the good Professor was off traveling in time and I had no way of contacting him to find out just how to charge the crystals so that I could demonstrate just how it works.
......and the rest is history.

With UofL playing at home today, we were pleased to see a good turnout

at the September meetup, thanks to all who came out and

welcome to some of our newest members who shared in all the camaraderie.

It's always a good time at the Corn Island Steampunk Society Meetups

and we hope to see you there next time
