Halifax's Jules Verne Phantastical Society is presenting their flamboyant Cabaret Absinthe party /cabaret / absinthe tasting tomorrow night (February 11th 2012). I'm guessing it will look something like this.

See if you can find the local steampunks in this great Notman photo collage of an 1899 skating costume party.

(The airship is a Google Sketchup model of The Albatross from Jules Verne's Robur the Conqueror. Tickets to the party are still available at Plan B and at the door.)
