Steampunk going Mainstream here?

Recently, I saw the first article about steampunk in a mainstream German media outlet.
This is not to say there have not been others before, it only means I noticed it.

Der Spiegel online had  an introductory, friendly article about the phenomenon in Germany on 12.12.2012.

Our American readers may be familiar with "The Haul", but we want to seize the opportunity to tell our readers on this side of the pond about one of our most beloved icons, the "haul that never was".

It is, try to visualize it, a three story Victorian building on wheels.

The Neverwashaul has its own web site and  is one of those projects that Larry the Cable Guy would describe as "only in America".

The two photos from Burning Man 2012 on the web site are gorgeous. Make them your wallpaper on your favorite device, and make sure you donate a few dollars or Euros to the Haul via their web site.

We had the pleasure of getting to know some of the crew quite well, and we know the effort and the number of lost fingertips that went into their work on the Haul and other projects.

If you feel like owning a small steampunk item, have a look at the goggles in their shop on Etsy.
