James R. Murray said… Dear Mr. Murphy, that you kindly for your request of friendship. Although somewhat out of the blue, I look forwards to making your acquaintance, and following your career upon the Empire. I see you are a purveyor of fine ale and wines, if you ever feel like a virtual one, and a good chat to boot, do drop in to the Accepted Cog Saloon.
Warmest Regards,
James Murray

Miss Cherries Jubilee said…Greetings and welcome. The Empire affords nearly endless opportunities for education and adventure. I invite you to peruse the groups and blogs as well as the discussions. You are sure to discover things that take your fancy and other members of the Empire to interest you.
If you are at all interested in bicycling, please drop by the Steampunk Style Cycling Union. We are a hardy group of wheel mad scorchers and slow riders committed to bringing steampunk style and elegance to the cycling world.
If you appreciate corsets, you might want to visit The Loyal Order of Corsetted Ladies. We exchange information on the wearing of Victorian style unmentionables in the 21st century and of course post beautiful corsets and where we obtain them.
There are also groups focused on everything from cocktails to engineering and regional groups from Tampa to Juno.
I have also written a series of blog posts on steampunk syle if you are interested in this side of things. You can see them here:http://stylesaysonlyme.blogspot.com/
I hope to see you around the Empire.
Letting Off Steam,
Miss Cherries Jubilee
