April 24-26 marks the 4th annual International Steampunk Symposium at the Holiday Inn in the Eastgate neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio.
What is Steampunk? I’m glad you asked! Steampunk is retro-futurism. Steampunk is Victorian Science Fiction. Steampunk is something a little different for everyone who enjoys it.
For 3 days, you can come enjoy awesome costumes, watch and participate in fantastic games, and sit in on panels with creators, writers, and other fans to learn and share your love of Steampunk.
Travis will be your host for the awesome entertainment all weekend. Including Frenchy and the Punk, Sir Reginald Pikedevant Esquire (whose songs will teach you all about Steampunk), Troupe Roja Bellydance, and much more.
For more information, to see a schedule of entertainment and panels, and to get your tickets, check out the site:

Saturday February 28th, 2015 is Sword Swallowers’ Day! A celebration of sword swallowing as a form of entertainment, and a tribute to the advances in medical sciences that sword swallowers have contributed to.
Did you know the first endoscopy in 1868 was made possible by a sword swallower?
Did you know that the first electrocardiogram was done using a sword swallower as a test subject in 1906?
Did you know that the British Medical Journal published a study on sword swallowing and its side effects that went on to win an Ig Nobel Prize?
Lots more about the contributions sword swallowers have made can be found in a recent Time Magazine article:

And for the ninth consecutive year, sword swallowers will gather at Ripley’s Believe it or Not locations around the world for the “Big Swallow” at 2:28 PM local time.
The Pickled Brothers will be at 2 locations this year. Travis will be swallowing swords with Sasha Ashley, one of the world’s youngest sword swallowers, at Ripley’s Believe it or Not Odditorium in Gatlinburg, TN.

Stop by and say hello! Remember to hug a sword swallower for sword swallowers’ day, just not while they’re swallowing a sword!
Thanks to the awesome Brian Easterling, the Pickled Brothers have a new video that highlights the show they perform at many renaissance festivals around the United States!
