  Euchronia is a steampunk / neo-Victorian Year's End Ball taking place in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia on the last day of the calendar year of 2008. The event officially opens for general admission at 9pm and proceedings will continue 'til the early hours of the following morning. Our venue is the fabulous and anachronistic , an historic Victorian Era building at the edge of the Melbourne CBD which features a perfect blend of history and realism to delight the neo-Victorian enthusiast. Victorian Trades Hall is a licensed venue with full bar facilities and as such, Euchronia is an 18+ event. "Euchronia" is a play on words, in this form taken from the Greek "eu", meaning "good", and "chronos", "time". Time is a central theme of the event, and you may notice things not quite as they should appear in a twenty-first century ball. If you look carefully at the details, you may see evidence of some rather astounding happenings occurring during the evening.Euchronia will feature three separate sound-spaces, each with a different musical focus. The New Ballroom will feature a mix of new romantic, gothic fusion, industrial, retro, futuristic, electro and EBM music. The Bella Union Bar will host several live cabaret-style acts as well as DJs. Finally, our third sound space The Annex is a designated relaxation space with a more ambient and laid-back soundscape. Our initial lineup is now available, with more acts to be added as we move closer to the date.Dress Code: Victorian, steampunk, formal black tie/white tie/ballgown, pirate punk, Edwardian, vintage 20's & 30's, goth! We're pretty easy going to be honest - but if you turn up in jeans & a tshirt you'll just feel out of place :P See for more costume ideas - you don't have to go crazy/all out, but it's so much more fun for everyone if we all make an effort!Membership to the Antipodean League of Temporal Voyagers (our Society for anachronistic pursuits) is also offered to attendees of Euchronia, including a Premium package including custom engraved pocketwatch, horse & carriage ride, and special members-only event at the commencement of the evening.
