In this New Year I seek a bit of the accumulated experience and wisdom of the Members. 

  In Las Vegas we are having a Pirate Festival with a Steampunk component (in April). For the first time, there will be encampments for groups to set up and show off for the weekend. I'm looking for ideas of things we could set-up in our camp to entertain the masses!

  Current plans include painting backdrops for photo-ops, building Aether accumulators from old 10' satellite dishes, and setting up our large pavillion tent for protection from the elephants....er....elements as well as a place to indulge in backgammon, cribbage, and teacakes.  

  What fun stuff have you seen at other events that we could share with the people of Las Vegas?
