Venue Agreed for Steampunk Convention

Tuesday, August 31st, 2010

Almost eleven months after agreeing that an Extraordinary Steampunk Convention was necessary to solve the crisis of over-population, the Metropolis Mayors have agreed on a venue for their world-saving talks.

From tomorrow, the mayors of every city of the world will direct their Metropolis navigators to plot routes to the blackened plain of stumps where once the Amazon Rainforest stood. There, with the Amazon River’s slurry sludging by, and the stink of noxious pollution ever-present to remind the mayors of the importance of their mission, they will remain locked away in seclusion until they agree a solution.

Responding to criticism that if it took this long just to agree a venue, they will never come up with a solution to the world’s population crisis, Paris Mayor Sicholas Narkozy said: “We didn’t just decide on a venue. Items for the agenda were also agreed.”

“And we had to agree on the sandwiches,” Joris Bhonson added.

At this, Mayor Narkozy nodded wearily. “Oui…agreeing the sandwiches took longer than you might expect…”

It is understood the mayors will have a range of sandwiches and other finger buffet food at all times during the convention.
