baking (usually of exploding pies), light millinery, attempting to contact my deceased parents through occult means, collecting and photographing my own stereoscopic cards, doodling about in my journal, ginger lemon honey tea and scones with clotted cream, quiet buzzing noises - as with the sound of bees or of a needle working it's way through the silent spaces on a record, fashionable hats, wind, accents of all kinds, Chinese fireworks, canon fire (when not the recipient thereof!), proper manners and etiquette, sealing wax and string, solitude in Time Out, making up preposterous names which CLANNG stands for, productive time spent on the aethernet, organizing my foreign currency.

Klaude Davenport is off to London. Posted 7 hours ago view more
She is a Mistress of Disguise, seamstress (does all the patch and rigging work aboard Calpurnia, despite formerly crippling fear of heights, which was the result of a rather traumatizing and interesting adventure, really)...
Whilst reading aboard the dinghy zeppelin 'Time Out', the vessel came untethered and drifted unknown into the outskirts of Leipzig, Germany where it then foundered atop a disused church tower. Klaude was forced to live 4 days atop this church tower subsisting on raw local bird eggs and sheltering herself beneath the bounteous fabric of the zeppelin's balloon. Later, 'Time Out' was converted to her apiary and greenhouse.
She dislikes silence, excessively sweet tasting things, broken pop-up books, when Emmett receives a letter from her nutter fiance, CLANNG, real life conspiracies, wasting time on the ethernet, spluttery ink pens, her own poor penmanship and spelling, and misplacing the lead for her mechanical pencils.
BOOKINGS: Contact Klaude, if you're interested in having The Davenport sisters be involved with an event.
Who I'd like to meet: punks, and steampunks alike, vengeful mariners, more people willing to dress up in bee costumes, Nikola Tesla, absinthe lushes, artists and vagrants, gypsies, puppeteers, and somebody who can teach me to play the accordion
THANK YOU for bringing the Slow Poisoner in to perform for us. I now know what you mean -- he really must be seen to be fully experienced. I think I am now a little bit of a groupie! (In a "fascinated by the madness" sort of way!)
love your show so much. I just started listening about three weeks ago... and because of all the back episodes i am able to listen every day... i will be so very sad when i finally do catch up and start listening live... i mean, i will be happy to listen live, but sad to not listen every day... and twice a day in some cases.... taking me about three weeks to get to episode 31... fun fun. ... wish you both the best.... much love from Phoenix, AZ
Something for the next show perhaps? A CONTEST, maybe?? My friend Andrew came up with these and I think that they are perfect for steampunk. So the next time you're texting your steampunk friends, try these! And feel free to add to the list.
LOL will be replaced by EIAM (Erupting into Audible Mirth) OMG becomes sB ('sBlood!) WTF by YAMS! (You Astonish Me, Sir!) IMHO becomes FIMSXM (If I May So Express Myself)
