Happy International Steampunk Day 2011!
June 14th is H. G. Wells’ birthday and in his honor it is also International Steampunk Day (and has been for several years). This is a day to celebrate steampunk even more than normal and to share all the steampunky goodness with the uninitiated (or even those who were initiated but for whom it didn’t take the first time).
So, let’s make this post a place where everyone can share whatever they are doing or reading or thinking or loving that is steampunk. Dressing up for the day? Leave a link to a pic! Hosting something cool on your blog? Leave a link to that! If you are part of an organization or are running an upcoming event or working on a book or a costume or a piece of art or… anything! Leave a link and a description. I’ll do my best (day job notwithstanding) to be Johnny-on-the-Spot with comment moderation, so everything gets updated in a timely manner. Tweet me the links and I’ll retweet ‘em. Post them on the Facebook wall and I’ll make sure they don’t get blocked.
Oh, and be sure to let other people know so they can share their steampunkish fun and love as well.
Happy Steampunk Day!

I hope you’ll forgive the advert… but in celebration of Mr Wells, we at Angry Robot are marking down eBooks of all four of our steampunk titles at a 2-for-the-price-of-1 discount… but only for today.
The titles are KW Jeter’s seminal steampunk texts MORLOCK NIGHT and INFERNAL DEVICES, and Lavie Tidhar’s irridescent THE BOOKMAN and CAMERA OBSCURA. If you haven’t read them, you really should.
Later today we’re also announcing the results of our Create Something Steampunk contest. Check out the wide variety of entries, which were quite, quite marvellous.
In honor of Steampunk day heres a link to the trailer for our first Steampunk film ‘The Halsteadarian: Chronicles of the Colne Engine’
Which will shown at Gearcon in Portland next month! We are now in the development stage of Part 2 and a teaser trailer will follow shortly. Thank you for your time and Happy Steampunk day!

Pingback: Steampunk News » Don’t forget – Today, June 14th, is International Steampunk Day!
HG Wells birthday is Sept 21.
In any case, happy international steampunk day to all and to all good day!
In honour of today I’ve created an Etsy treasury. Please come and take a look at the wonderful steampunk inspired, handmade accessories courtesy of the Etsy Time Travellers Team….
I know in honor of Steampunk day, HarlequinTEEN Twitter is giving away cover jewelry from The Girl in the Steel Corset. To enter you have to tell them your best #Steampun or Steampunk joke today at 2:30!
Happy Steampunk Day, all!
I’m working on my goggles and finishing up my apron for Metrocon this weekend

I’ve recently fallen in love with steam punk jewelry, and am currently working on creating some steampunk pieces. Look for them in my shop in the next week or so.

Happy International Steampunk Day and thank you for the chance to share on this rather splendid blog!
I just wrote a post about this most auspicious day as well as offering readers a little extra as a celebration:

Thank you and Huzzah!
Happy international steampunk day! If you’re looking for something to read on this auspicious occasion we have 12 chapters of our steampunk, pulp fiction, web serial up at inaristeam.com (and don’t forget to check out our children’s book while you’re there) and you can get the first arc as a free iBook!
In the spirit of community we’d love to hear what people would like to see next from the dastardly crew of the Dread Ship Shirley.
Festoon the airships, it’s International Steampunk Day! & Happy Birthday, Jules Verne.
Hey! get your info straight, it ain’t the birthday of HG wells today!
Also as an honorarium to Mr. Wells, his Time Machine will be the theme for the Abney Park show in San Diego on July 23 during ComicCon:)
Happy Steampunk day y’all. May the pressure gauge remain in the green!
All other internet sources seem to concur that H.G. Wells’ birthday is in fact September 21….
It IS Ukulele Ike’s birthday! Which is pertinent, I suppose, if you really want to stretch the point….
I just discovered your blog today. I didn’t realize that yesterday was Int’l Steampunk Day, which is quite funny since I posted a review of a steampunk book yesterday.
A commenter mentioned Int’l Steampunk Day and googling led me here.
Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that I’m your newest follower.
