First Time Maker Faire Attendee

I was there and it was awesome.

You can't rightfully call yourself a geek without seeing the Mentos and Diet Coke show in person. Or the Mouse Trap or the bicycle bus or the Crucible or the....you get it.

Can't wait to go back.

Oh hey that's me! Thanks for the great closeup shot of steam-
bunny! I got a lot of great responses from the outfit that day from
adults and kids alike. My favorite was one gothy teenager in a
top hat who gave me this big attack hug in a thank you for
existing kinda way. I loved that because I had that same feeling
all day with so many of the artists and inventors and crafters and
makers.

I personally thanked Nemo Gould for bringing the kinetic Squid
sculpture to life and so many others for bringing their projects to
Maker Faire.

Looking at the comment I just posted it seems that when leaving
a comment while using an iPhone makes it post with extra line
breaks scattered throughout. Ya might wanna have your IT folks
look into that.
