The August Prometheus Bound held something different this year, a cross-over with the event organiser’s 90′s event for goths: the Bloodlust Ball. Combining the two was a lot of fun; especially for those of us who like adjusting their outfits to fit the PB’s many themes. Professor von Explaino was decked out in an anti-vampire chastity belt (neck brace), a celestium H20 ejector (holy water sprayer) and a collection of vampiric samples to go with his revamped Corset Analyzer. Baron von Borg’s latest arm was an arsenal of epic proportions – with a detachable copper cross, ampules of colloidal silver and garlic, and a wooden cross cannon with leg-braced spare ammunition. Fantastic.
The event itself had a collection of fabulous extras. Along with the upstairs band area and the downstairs raver pit, the stalls had expanded to include a gaming stores’ game of skill for prizes, various shops of leather and jewlery goods, but my favourites were the steampunk scents booth and the photo area for professional snaps. There was tea and coffee making facilities and regular snacks to keep your strength up. We managed to snag a long bench for displaying our items of invention – not for sale just for show. People seemed to enjoy it; along with our items I brought along the 1000 Steampunk Creations and Steampunk Bible books. They were well examined by the end of the night, with people promising to hunt them down for their own ownership.
