Well hello there, mass_steam LJ! Yeah, everyone's abandoned you for Facebook these days, but just in case I wanted to make sure everyone here knows about the upcoming Watch City Festival in Waltham, MA! It's running the weekend of May 12-13, with some events the evening of Friday the 11th. Some outdoor events will be free, but other events will require the purchase of a festival button. Button sales go to support the Charles River Museum of Industry and Innovation in Waltham.

Things kick off Friday night with the Mayor's Election Night Party at the Watch City Brewing Company. Then on Saturday and Sunday we'll be going all day with vendors, musicians, lectures, movies, author signings, a mermaid, a hot air balloon, and more!

Visit http://watchcityfestival.org or https://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/CRMISteampunkFestival for information.

This is a new find for me. I have never heard of this mansion before.
On Saturday, Jan 14 Gore Place in Waltham will have an actor portraying Poe read to a live audience in one of the mansion rooms. I'm there. I just called and there are still tix available. I'll be at the 5:30 if anyone wants to say hi.
Here's the linky:

Boston Celebrates 11/11/11 With A Time Travelers Costume Ball

Have you ever had déjà vu? Have you happened to notice repeatedly when your clock reads 11:11? Have you watched “12 Monkeys,” “Time Bandits,” or the over-the-top romantic drama “Somewhere In Time” more times than you can count? Are you an H.G. Wells fan? Do you feel like you’re from another time? Well, here’s a chance to dress up as a visitor from any time in the past or the future for the Time Travelers' Costume Ball. This once-in-a-century event, hosted by gender-bending (and time-bending) performer, Johnny Blazes, will be packed with entertainment from the fourth dimension including:

• Art-soul band, What Time Is It, Mr. Fox?
• Steampunk stars, Emperor Norton’s Stationary Marching Band
• Soul/funk group, Johnny Blazes and the Pretty Boys
• Kielbasia, the accordion-playing Polish lunch lady
• Comedian/performance artist, Evan O’Television
• Lolli Hoops and her speed of light hula hoop
• Special guest circus performers
• Local animation and film shorts
• Costume prizes

This variety-packed party will take the audience on a trip, bouncing
forwards and backwards through time, music, style, laughs, sex, and
relativity, culminating in a mind-altering dance party.
18+ show
8pm – 11pm
at Machine 1254 Boylston Street Boston, MA.
Seating is general admission. Cover is $15 at the door.
