| At panel about Steampunk in Iceland |
Meeting people, performing, and listening to other performers. It is amazing and I became humble sensing the love and enthusiasm people have for this wonderful thing called Steampunk.
Steampunk brings people together who never under any circumstances would meet or get to know each other.
My task at the convention was to introduce Iceland and steampunk in iceland, the Steampunk Iceland festival and the group that has kept it going three years in a row.
I also performed some of my music
https://ingimaroddsson.bandcamp.com and introduced Bildalia, the fictional kingdom that serves as a playground for the Steampunk Iceland festival.
At Steamposium there were lots and lots of panels, lectures and introductions which we don't have in Iceland. Each convention is different and and that is exactly why it is so necessary for us that manage conventions to travel around an see what we may learn.
This weekend was as the Americans so often say, Awesome. Thank you for having me I had the best time.
There are conventions and festivals all over the world from Oamaru in New Zealand to Bildudalur in Iceland. We cannot visit them all but every year one or two. About 36 conventions and festivals. The Icelandig festival will probably take place in Akranes next year, only 20 minutes from the capital Reykjavík. It takes 7 and a half hour to fly from Seattle to Keflavik airport and one hour to Akranes. We hope to have guests from all over but the Steamrats of Seattle will have special welcome.
