Afternoon Tea

Both Saturday and Sunday afternoon of the Exposition, we offer you the opportunity to relax with cups of tea, delicious finger foods, and delightful conversation with some of our guests of honor.

Each tea party table is offered a choice of teas: English Breakfast Tea, Earl Grey, Assam, or Darjeeling. Food served  to accompany the tea consists of: British scone with jam and clotted cream, 2 cucumber sandwiches, 2 egg salad sandwiches, 2 mini eclairs, 2 lemon tartlets, cup of fruit, and 2 Chessmen cookies (for Tea Dueling).

12 Weeks until the Exposition!

“Dreams of the Great Old Ones.”

Twelve more weeks remain until the Exposition opens its portals through time, space, and the fabric of reality, powered by the gathering of creative minds and endless imagination . . .

 

      We are the music makers,
          And we are the dreamers of dreams,
      Wandering by lone sea-breakers,
          And sitting by desolate streams; —
      World-losers and world-forsakers,
          On whom the pale moon gleams:
      Yet we are the movers and shakers
          Of the world for ever, it seems.

“Ode” by Arthur O’Shaughnessy.

14 Weeks until the Exposition

“Happy New Year 1893!” ~

It’s a new year, whether it be 1893 or 2024, and we are now just 14 weeks away from the opening of the next Chicago Exposition! In these remaining weeks the countdown will intensify and before long we will be finishing edits to the program schedule.

There may be a few minor tweaks here and there, but the most part the second edition rules for our Steam & Sorcery LARP game are complete. For those unfamiliar with the game, it is a live action role playing (LARP) game mystery that immerses players in the weekend long storyline. It spans the whole hotel and places you as the central character in your story. During Opening Ceremonies (4/12/24 – 7PM on the main stage) “The Shadow of Nosferatu” mystery will be revealed . . . but who will step forward to solve it? A series of clues spread around the convention space, and interactions with a cast of characters, will lead you deeper and deeper into the investigation of Nosferatu’s plot against the Exposition. To play the game you will need a smart phone QR code reader, a handful of coins (quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies), your wits, and your imagination.
