“A Steampunk Story Set in a Truly Steampunk World!” That’s how TeslaCon bills itself, and it runs November 12 to 15 at the Marriott in Middleton, Wisconsin.
Steampunk the Thames, November 12 to 15 in Thames, New Zealand, is the one I’d cross an ocean for.

Punk My Pet is a title I wish I’d thought of.
VCON 44 is a one-day convention at the BCIT campus in Burnaby, British Columbia, on Saturday, November 14, with the theme “Pick Your Punk: Living Through the 21st Century.”
Hopetown in Darlington, England, holds a Steampunk Weekend on November 14 and 15, with tea duelling and a time travel ride, and I’d like to meet the referee.
