Maker Faires?
« on: October 21, 2014, 09:53:55 pm »
Just curious if anyone else has shown their work at a local maker faire?
Omaha just had their first a month or so ago and an organizer had asked if I'd consider showing off diy arcade cabinets. At the time I just had my commissioned build and charity builds in process, both using OND's Metropolis, so I really didn't want to show them off (damage to cabinets plus not my own work).
They just announced plans for another next year, and have a few ideas of projects I'd consider, but not really sure if it fits in to the Maker Faire idea.
So, anyone else ever have a booth, and if so what did you show off?

I've never had a booth at a Maker Fare. But as some one who's been to a few I would say you should fit right in. It would be a nice addition.

Good luck

When I first saw this, I thought it said "Maker Fairies", and all I could think of was "Crap, I could use a few of those here..." (I'm waaayyy behind on getting projects finished).

Apologies for the derail.
