maker faire

I've heard so many great things about the maker faire in the past, so when we had the chance to get a booth there this year i was so excited! this is not your normal craft faire, it's almost like the coolest science faire, with a mix of arts & crafts, robots, sewing and knitting and more. there was so much to do and see -here are some highlights:
*swap-o-rama-rama, which is huge clothing swap, where you could sew, screen print and alter the clothes right there
*life size mouse trap- yep, from the board game, it used 8lb bowling balls crazy...
*cute little thingamagoop robots
*fire acts, huge metal sculptures and watching them create lighting inside
*the diet coke & mentos show....
*the guy who was playing the drums while knitting at the SAME time!!

all this, and Hambly was also a part of it. we were also packed at out booth! most people there never used a rub-on before so it was great to see everyones reaction. here's a pic while i was setting up, then as the crowd came in. it was very a cool space to - i loved the fence that was set up for the booth.

we also made up some special overlays packs at a huge savings to sell at the show and have a few left here.

Your booth was great -- it was nice to see some of you who write here in person.

As a big fan of rub-ons myself, I was amazed by how many people were new to the World of Rub-on. Great job spreading the word!

OMG!!! I look at this blog everyday, and I never noticed the new darker hair. (what rock do I live under?)

That faire sounds like it was awesome! How cool is the life sized mouse trap game? Did they have a mannequin for the diver or a real person?

I wrote this down on my calendar and I was sad that I couldn't make it. Looks like you had a blast. Hope you'll be there next year!

we went to the maker faire last year and i was so ready to go again this year, but, after NSD, i was too pooped on sunday morning to make it up there (a little over an hour from where i live). if i had only known ya'll were going to be there, i would have toughed it out.

going again next year?
