You want to see some big, cool clocks from around the world? Of course you do. But first:

Ladies and Gentlemen, Tickets to the very first London Fringe theater performance of The Dolls of New Albion, A Steampunk Opera ARE ON SALE.

They are on sale Here at the Ovalhouse. If you live in England and want to see our very first steps as we begin our journey  buy ’em and come see the show’s first official incarnation. I’ll do a full post on this soon, but let me officially declare that tickets as of today are available.

To celebrate, look! Clocks!

Okay, Okay. NOW i’m done. Seriously, the world is just a wonderful place and one thing the human race is really good at is building AWEsome clocks and clock towers.

  1. Yes, you can use my photo of the flower clock at the Fort Worth Botanic Garden. All my stuff is Creative Commons. You are supposed to credit me though. Or at least link back to my flickr page: http://goo.gl/jPIa3K

    Some of the other pics are not working, btw. Cool page though. I love clocks, too!
