Maker Faire in San Mateo
Time: May 23rd, Sunday 11:00 AM Meet Time
Location: Multi-Level Parking Structure Near 960 Park Pl. San Mateo, CA

Map: http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=...deb169ae9519a49
Details: We will walk from the parking lot to the Maker Faire, MakerFaire parking is expensive, crowded, and door-ding-tastic. I don't even like WALKING through that parking lot. The parking lot I've chosen was great LAST YEAR, but that doesn't necessarily mean it will be this year, so if it turns out it's no good, we'll meet there at the very least and figure something out from there.




Alright, so I go to this every year because it's just all sorts of nerdy fun.

Don't know what the Maker Faire is? It's an event hosted by Make Magazine where people come to show off arts, crafts, engineering, science projects and the Do-It-Yourself (DIY) projects. Lots of fabrication, cool exhibits, etc.

A lot of the same guys who do the Maker Faire also do things at the Crucible’s Fire Arts Festival -- really cool fire stuff if you're into that. However this year they're not doing the Fire Arts Festival due to funding. It'll be back in 2011 though
