BROOKLYN INDIE MARKET will hold a Steampunk celebration this year (October 24th) that will include readings from steampunk themed books – including  a selection from Steampunk Prime read by Nasty Canasta (of Naked Girls Reading) – as part of the Literary Corner sponsored by Tor Books. Readings begin at 11 am and Steampunk Prime is scheduled to begin at 3:30 pm. It turns out that Nasty, a star of NYC’s neo-burlesque scene, is a fan of old sci-fi movies and tv shows like  Metropolis and Logan’s Run. We expect her to be in appropriate costume.

The Steampunk Market will take place on Sunday, October 24th, 2010 from 11 am to 8 pm at the DUMBO Lofts at 155 Water Street in DUMBO (Brooklyn), $5 admission. The market will feature many steampunk vendors and a fashion show at 4:00 pm.
