3 really important things to tell you about. The long version is below, the short version is:

Abney Park will be playing The Edison this New Years Eve!
We fixed international shipping costs on the site, in fact, they are now SUPER cheap. Plus, we got new stuff, like Zombie Killing Certification patches!
If you are going to SteamCon, you still have to buy tickets to our show!

Details are below.

Abney Park will be playing the Edison this New Years Eve. If you were there last year, you know this event is the most glamorous, immersive, and beautiful New Years Eve party you've ever been to. The Edison is the worlds premier steampunk destination. Its an underground victorian era power plant that has been polished and sculpted into what could only be described as Steampunk heaven. The stage is solid copper, you can have drink at the puff organ INSIDE the machines boiler tank...no square inch of this place is not beautiful Last year tickets were $175 a piece. This year tickets are only $75!

Chloe is a girl scout, and I'm the one who irons things on her uniform. I instructed her, "If anyone asks about the Zombie Killing patch, tell them you earned it in a special program...that your not allowed to talk about."

Speaking of patches, we are starting a series of collectable patches. They are pretty awesome:

Oh, and one last shopping thing, our international shipping used to have a glitch, so if you were in the UK, or Japan, or someplace, shipping would cost a fortune. I fixed it. Its currently TOO cheap, but I figure you guys were due a break.

This friday is SteamCon! Its in Seattle, and its a three day Steampunk Festival. We will be playing two shows, the first is a small acoustic sing along on friday, and on Saturday we are playing a great big fancy no-holds-bared Abney Park concert! Now, to go to the concert, you have to buy tickets here:

And finally, I leave you with a history lesson:

Doctor Klawncus P. Elmsworth invented the ultimate zombie killing weapon, The Elmininator. Buy filling the barrel of this weapon with compressed air, Elmsworths gun could thrown any projectile -rocks, tire irons, rail road ties - through the very soft flesh of the Zombie. One shot through the torso will slice the vile creatures in half. Line up three, and take them all out with a single shot!

Early versions of this weapon where large and cumbersome (see below) but eventually Elmsworth created his Elmininator in a convenient hand held size.

As the zombie threat spread, the name "Elmininator" referred to the user of these guns. They were armed and sent out: lone warriors who wandered the wastes, thinning the zombie hordes or dying in the attempt.
