I think I can't be the only one who has seen this whole steampunk thing become what it is. I mean, we all remember when it was a novel thing. I know that some people kind of can't stand it now, but I think I'll always have a soft spot for this sort of stuff.
Anyways here is an article on a Sonoma Country Steampunk Festival.
If you’ve ever dreamed of zipping around the universe in H.G. Wells’ Time Machine or wearing a frock coat while plunging 20,000 leagues under the sea, you’ll be right at home attending Sonoma County’s Wunderkammer Festival. The term wunderkammer is German for ‘cabinet of curiosities’, which used to be a way rich collectors could show off their collections of myriad and strange objects from their travels around the world.
