Exhibitor: Urbandon
Urbandon scavenges for junk metal and obscure findings creating machines that transport him back where life was simpler. In fact, time machines were commonplace;

 “Over one hundred years ago, clockwork, steam driven time portals were used constantly. In fact, I was making them.” Says the artist from his padded workshop. 

“In the old days you could have a moustache wax, head off to Ancient Greece for the day and still be back in time to throw down a few green fairies.” 

His relics of a bygone era are also available in the 21st Century.  Fascinatingly wearable curiosities are created uniquely using items that range from bird bones to egg beaters.

To read his time travel ramblings or observe his creations, see him at urbandon.blogspot.com 

Do mind the wormhole gap and please note time machines are strictly forbidden on dirigibles.

Performer: Sarina del Fuego
Sarina Del Fuego’s burlesque flair has enraptured global audiences as far and wide

Sarina’s sophisticated and lavish 
performances  are always replete with the feathers, diamantes,  glitz and glamour
