Hi!
I was wondering if anyone in the area was planning to go to the World Steam Expo in Dearborn, MI at the end of May. It's not very far away, and I'm considering attending as a vendor, but if I do go I'd ideally like to share a room and carpool with someone.

I'm quite thoroughly obsessed with it now - and I have been thinking of decorating my craft area (future craft area - I just bought a house) in some sort of steampunk/mad scientist fashion.
