Cynicism creeping into your life? Feeling uninspired by your
immediate environment? Dr. Stranger has got your prescription! Simply take a
two day dose of Maker Faire and apply vigorously. Seriously, I’m convinced it
is impossible to walk away from Bay Area Maker Faire with anything but a big
stupid grin stretched across your face. Just a short list of the incredible to
consider: Tesla Coils Dr. Frankenstein would be proud of, electroluminescent robot
sharks snaking their through the crowd, fire breathing mechanical
dragon-monsters, packs of roving people-sized cupcakes, 3-D printers galore,
Arduino-controlled light hallucinations, and a solar powered carousel! So much
energy is thing of beauty and we couldn’t be happier to be involved.
As this is basically my favorite show of the year, I pulled
out all the stops and collected some of my favorite people to help run the
booth. Raedar, Brooke, Kimber, Euphrates, and myself comprised this rag-tag
group. We were pleased to see some of our favorite steampunks as well as a host
of new faces this year. Additionally we had the pleasure of seeing the fantastic
Todd Williams and his latest “elwire” creations.
Thank you to the lovely ladies of Steampunk Hatter, and to our friends for coming out and supporting us.
Lastly, Kimber was kind enough to take video of our experience. Watch it and see if you can spot yourself!
