“Weekend at the Asylum is one of the leading events for Steampunks in the World…a gathering of Steampunk enthusiasts and Neo-Victorians and a celebration of a retro-futuristic world. The festival is a combination of exhibitions, trade stalls, authors and artists, workshops, presentations and of course lots and lots of live original music. The main attraction, however, is the participants themselves. [There are] up to 1000 well-dressed and well-mannered steampunks enjoying the delightful “Steampunk Quarter” of Lincoln. Unlike many conventions and festivals The Asylum is what might be termed a “campus” event. We use several venues but all within a stones throw of each other in the historic quarter of Lincoln. This year’s venues are Lincoln Castle, The Lawns, Charlotte House and The Victoria Inn.”

“For many of you this is your first exposure to our convention. NakamaCon was from its first conception to be a convention that literally means “A circle of friends”. The focus is to meet new people, expand your fannish base and have fun. In Wisconsin there are several conventions, but none of them cater to the specific fandoms we wanted to. So starting in 2010 Madison Wisconsin will have a convention that will be an Anime / Anthropomorphic / Steam Punk event. The best part is since we are centrally located states like Illinois, Michigan, Iowa, and Minnesota are all just a little ways away.”
