The Airship Isabella III
During SXSW, I ended up at a party that had a pretty big steampunk contingent, which is of course very cool to me.  I thought I had some good steampunk stuff from Burning Man until I saw these guys...

This was at the Big Bang Bordello Party put on by True Ventures and Tunehopper.  It was super-crowded, like most decent SXSW parties, and there was a raucous stage show with a bunch of gals in lingerie and stuff.  Is it lame that I hung out with all the steampunk guys in the back?  Yes, probably.

Many of them were crew from the Airship Isabella, and they had all kinds of inventive steam-powered goodies.  What is Steampunk?  Follow that link for the Wikipedia entry...  and also, you may remember the Steampunk photo from Burning Man.

Isabella's Jewel Box Up high, in one of the tallest towers of all the land, in the highest castle by the sea, sits a perfect bedroom, and it shines like the inside of a floating jewel box.This amazing place is in one of the two peak towers atop Hearst Castle.  Getting up into these rooms via tiny, twisting stairways is not the easiest thing in the world.  The paths in and out of these bedrooms are almost so serpentine that they seem secret.  When I was inside, I felt like I was one of the few people in the world to ever experience it.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
