At this year's Bay Area Faire, we're pleased to be joined by two of the
editors of Steampunk Magazine, Magpie Killjoy and Libby Bulloff.
Steampunk Magazine has become something of a house organ for those
interested in the whole steampunk scene and related memes. It's one of
my favorite zines, one you can still get in the old school format of
print, no less! (as well as a PDF download for free/donation).

When not publishing Steampunk Magazinej, Magpie Killjoy is a
professional vagabond and busker who's been drifting across two
continents for years before recently settling in Cascadia to pursue
publishing and radical environmentalism. Magpie is also a musician who
occasionally plays drums in the dark electronica band Ego Likeness,
keytar for synth-metal band The Illawen, and programs for a near-solo
industrial project called Attack Attack Attack.

Libby Bulloff, from Seattle, WA, describes herself as a "creative
conceptualist." She does steampunk-themed jewelry and other wearable
art, photography, graphic design, and has worked as a club/event
promoter. Her projects have been featured on Boing Boing,
WarrenEllis.com, Diesel Sweeties, Craft: Bog, Make: Blog, Street Tech,
and Etsy's The Storque, as well as in Weird Tales and BusinessWeek.

The Contraptors' Lounge is an outdoor Victorian sitting room and
cabinet of curiosities being set up at Maker Faire. Such
steampunk/retro-tech icons as Jake von Slatt, Datamancer and Abney Park
will play host. As one of the on-site activities, Datamancer and Jake
von Slatt will be double-teaming the build of a special Maker Faire
edition retro/steampunk keyboard in the Lounge. It may be raffled off
or auctioned for charity at the end of the Faire. The two will also be
giving a talk, on the main stage, about their work.
