Steam-tastic

The Museum of Technology in Cambridge will be "under full steam" this weekend and there's also a "Teslathon" with "Extreme Electronics". There's no info about the event on the museum website but it's part of the Big Draw thing and it's about halfway down on the linked page.

I'm busy on Saturday but anyone fancy coming along on Sunday? It's open from 11 to 5 (the website says 4.30 but the poster I just walked past says 5).

I'm especially looking at [livejournal.com profile] ginasketch, [livejournal.com profile] lupie_stardust and other Steam(punk) enthusiasts here. I don't draw but I'll take my camera. :o)

Bah! Sounds interesting, regret my weekend is tied down already.

Ah shame. I only saw the poster today or I would have mentioned it earlier.

When I'm there I might finally come round to enquire about hiring the place for a photoshoot. They don't have fixed opening times (and usually only do the steam thing on Bank Holidays) but do open the place for individuals and small groups...

I should be very interested, if it's not too early to say so.

I would have thought so. :o)
I doubt it'll happen before the New Year, anyway, so there'll be plenty of time.
In case a private hire were too expensive for me alone, would you be willing to chip in?

'would you be willing to chip in'

Certainly, if a figure can be arrived at and divided among the attendees should not be so much.

Cool! I'll let you know what they say.
Splitting the cost would be the idea, yes.

Sorry, but I know I'll be too tired after Saturday's clubbing.:(

I need my lie in.

That's fair enough. Bad timing, though, as I'm sure you'd love it.

Bah. I'm booked for the whole of the weekend otherwise I'd love to head up.

Sorry, I only just read about it when I walked past it. :o(
