The Infernal Contraption 5-14-09

Had an absolutely wonderful time, ran into old friends, unexpected friends, and made some new ones. Once again had a wonderful night, great to see everyone again, and hopefully as Nick said it will be but the first of many. I had a video of Nick's demo but it seems youtube wouldn't allow me to load it up as it was over 12 minutes long...alas...

Well here are some photos of the night, enjoy!



Here is a video of the fire show performed by Miss Satanica.
