Greetings, you magnificent weirdos of the aether! The Anachronism NYC flings open its creaky, gear-encrusted doors for a night of pure, unhinged steampunk madness in Manhattan’s beating heart. Forget dull reality—strap on your goggles, twirl your parasol, and dive into a world where time’s a suggestion and eccentricity’s the law!
What’s Cranking?
- Steampunk Chris Cyanid Solo Bass Project: Chris Cyanide’s basslines thump like a runaway airship engine, blasting steampunk anthems that’ll make your monocle pop and your boots stomp!
- Amazing Amy, Punkette Extraordinaire: 80-year-old contortionist legendd Amazing Amy Harlib, bends bodies and expectations with carnival flair. This Anachronism original’s got more spunk than a steam-powered rocket!
- Cocktails by the Cocktail Whisperer: Quaff concoctions inspired by Warren Bobrow, aka Klaus, the Cocktail Whisperer. Think absinthe-fueled elixirs and smoky gear-tinis that scream Victorian rebellion.
- Mingle with Mischief-Makers: Meet dazzling humans (and maybe a metahuman or two) over tea and tarts. Socialize, dance, dine, and—praise the cogs—commit relatively little murder! It’s all about the wild, wonderful connections.
- What ISN’T Steampunk? Panel: Join our raucous debate on steampunk’s edges—do rayguns beat fairy wings? Local oddballs spill the tea on this gloriously bizarre culture.
- Dancing! Feasting! TEA PARTIES!!!: Waltz to ragtime beats, devour 19th-century-inspired grub, and lose yourself in tea parties so epic they’d make a mad hatter blush.
Why Us?
We’re the rowdy lovechild of Victorian pomp and punk rebellion. No need for a perfect top hat—just show up, half-costumed, and we’ll toss you a gear. Everyone’s welcome, spectacles and all, in this gloriously weird whirl of steam and dreams.
