We live in a world filled with technological marvels that we take for granted every day.\u00a0 From televisions to computers, buses to planes, cell phones to tablets, and microwaves to sophisticated medical equipment, there\u2019s no shortage of incredible devices out there. In fact, all it takes are a few batteries, a wall outlet, or some fuel, and you have an array of ways to work, play, relax, communicate, travel, cook, and heal.\u00a0 Now, all of this is of course great, but what if the world didn\u2019t work that way and there were no batteries or wall outlets. Could you imagine a world in which you couldn\u2019t get the power you needed with a simple flick of switch? A world in which you would need to rely on something else entirely to power your devices?\u00a0 Steam perhaps?<\/p>\n

Well, it turns out that this is exactly what the Steampunk genre was designed to explore, as it portrays what the world would have been like during the Victorian era if the world\u2019s technology had taken a very different path and evolved along the route that Jules Verne and H.G. Wells had described in their literary works.\u00a0 A world in which steam power rules and everything is powered by steam and clockwork parts.\u00a0 And, if this world sounds like something you would like to explore, you may want to head down to Mill No. 5 in Lowell, MA this weekend.\u00a0 This is because Mill No. 5, which is located at 250 Jackson Street in Lowell, MA, is hosting their Spring OtherWhere Market from 12:00 P.M. to 6:00 P.M. tomorrow (Saturday, April 30, 2016).\u00a0 This event will give you the opportunity to see a number of people in Steampunk and fantasy garb while you peruse a wide assortment of unusual accessories, books, costumes, and other goods related to fantasy, Sci-Fi, Steampunk, and more.\u00a0 For more information on the Spring OtherWhere Market and other similar events at Mill No. 5, please visit the Mill No. 5 website<\/a>.<\/p>\n
