About Us

TLA Productions was formed in 2010 to bring a major Steampunk Convention to New England.

Several of us had been complaining that there was no major Steampunk convention in New England. In particular, a couple of us wanted Abney Park to come to Boston, or at least closer to us than New York City. As you might expect, someone eventually said, "Why don't you stop complaining and do it yourself." So one of us (Jim von Hegner) thought about it for a few seconds and then said, "Why not?" The rest, as they say, is history.
