Greetings- you are hereby invited to an exquisite evening of Music and Fashion. I invite you to bring your finest Steampunk garb and join us for live musical performances and the thrill of high society. This event will showcase to works of one of Asheville’s premier Houses of Design: Avedien Coast, and will feature the creations of some of the store’s excellent designers. There shall also be a costume contest which will be judged by prominent members of Asheville’s geek culture, with prizes for the winner and the runners up. So lace up your corset, strap on your goggles, climb aboard the airship (or steam powered Mecha suit- we have no preference) of your choice! I look forward to seeing you there.
-Lord Morningstar (acting captain of the airship Persephone)


Guest Performers-

D&D Sluggers:

Geek Rock/Garage Pop act D&D Sluggers take the stage with Nintendo beats, a guitar and mic, ready to rock crowds. Using two Nintendo DS handhelds, funky guitar licks, combined with lyrics about life experiences and geek culture, D&D turns the room into a party inviting everyone to dance and sing to pop punk, new wave, and hip hop inspired songs and beats.

“D&D Sluggers seem to have found an approach that offers more than 8-bit gimmicks and comic-shop in-jokes.” —Bryan Reed
