____simple_html_dom__voku__html_wrapper____>Anyone who happened to wander into Rachael’s Cafe Friday experienced more than the usual cup of coffee. A crowd of neo-Victorian adventurers casually sipping tea to a post-industrial soundtrack welcomed customers.It was the Steampunk Society of IU sponsoring “Steam Night,” a celebration of the Victorian science fiction aesthetic that has been growing in popularity ever since it morphed from a literary genre to a subculture in the 1980s. Fans of the genre came decked out in their finest steampunk garb — a mix of Victorian clothing, various copper and brass contraptions, and of course, goggles — to socialize and to browse the vendor tables and steampunk photo gallery. Fans also watched performances by contact juggler Scott Weingart and the Different Drummer Belly Dancers. The society raffled off a tea set, and one vendor, web-based comic artist Taversia Borrelli, had a raffle to appear as a character in her upcoming post-apocalyptic steampunk comic. “It’s a night where you have an excuse to get dressed up and go out for the evening,” the event’s organizer and sophomore Caitlyn Muncy said. After attending a steampunk party workshop at the Ohayocon convention, Muncy came up with the idea for the event.“We’re trying to create an atmosphere. It’s very difficult, I know,” she said. Within the steampunk culture, there is a strong emphasis on personal creativity and invention. “When we dress up we’re trying to personify the inventors and adventurers from the literature — hence, the goggles and ‘inventions,’” Weingart said.--Lee Shaw

____simple_html_dom__voku__html_wrapper____>Despite the dismal weather Tuesday, a crowd made it out to Rachael’s Cafe for a benefit concert to raise awareness for hunger and homelessness nationwide.The “Beats to Get ‘Em Off The Streets” concert, sponsored by The Indiana Public Interest Research Group (INPIRG), raised money for the National Campaign Against Hunger and Homelessness. About 40 people attended the concert. “It’s about what we expected,” said junior Sarah Wirth, the campaign’s coordinator.A total of six acts played the benefit, including an impromptu performance by Crescent Ulmer, a friend of Hotfox, the headliners.Singer Zach Majors opened the show, playing a mix of originals and covers, including Michael Jackson’s “Man in the Mirror.” Take a Picture, a one-man band consisting of Terrick Beitvashahi, followed. Beitvashahi played his 1950s-esque ballad “All My Time.”The third act to go on was a tapered down version of The 8s. “The rest of the band couldn’t make it,” senior and guitarist Sam Dearinger said. “Normally there are three of us, but tonight it’s just me.”Sampson McMoon of The Constants filled in on drums, and the two played three songs worth of old-fashioned, gritty blues rock.Afterwards, McMoon switched to guitar and was joined by fellow Constants member Louis Alyn, who played drums. The two switched instruments throughout their rock n’ roll set, which ended with “Slippin’ and Slidin’” by Little Richard.The Constants were also short on members.“Yeah we woke up this morning and read in the paper that we were playing a show, so we figured we had better show up,” Alyn said. “Me and Sampson were the only ones who could make it.”Despite the shrunken bands, the shows coordinator, freshman Lierin Ehmke, was pleased with the show.“We raised close to $200,” she said.

____simple_html_dom__voku__html_wrapper____>Fundraising and awareness will be the main themes today at the Indiana Public Interest Research Group’s “Beats to Get ‘Em Off the Streets” concert to celebrate Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week at Rachael’s Café.The show begins at 6:30 p.m., and there is a $5 cover charge, which, after costs, will go entirely to The National Student Campaign for Hunger and Homelessness. This is one of the many campaigns of INPIRG, which will also be taking canned food donations and passing out change jars during the event. “This concert is a great chance for us to raise money and get a lot of exposure,” said junior Caitlin Saraceno, who coordinated the show along with freshman Lierin Ehmke, members of INPIRG. “About 80 people responded to the Facebook event, so even if only half of them show up we’ll still make about $200,” Saraceno said.Ehmke said the idea for a benefit concert has been floating around at INPIRG for a few years, but the group hasn’t acted upon it until now. “Sarah (Wirth), the campaign coordinator, brought it up when I first joined the campaign,” Ehmke said. “During one of the meetings I let her know that I had a connection with Hotfox, who was on board, and that was the beginning.”The concert takes place on the second day of National Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week. More than 500 campuses take part in the event by organizing education, service and advocacy events, according the campaign’s website.“The timing on this was just impeccable,” Ehmke said.The show features five local acts; singer-songwriter Zach Majors, surf rock band The Constants, one-man pop-punk band Take a Picture, rock ’n’ roll band The 8’s, and indie rock group Hotfox. “We’re always excited for the opportunity to play in Bloomington,” Hotfox drummer Michael Preuschl said. Hotfox, originally from Indianapolis, recently returned from Ohio, where the band played at the Miami University Dance Marathon.“It’s great when we can get shows close to home,” Preuschl said.Majors, Take a Picture and The 8’s will all play 15-minute acoustic sets, while Hotfox and The Constants will both play 30-minute sets.
