Anyone else going out to Maker Faire?

General Discussion

I know a few Providence Geeks will be out at Maker Faire (myself, Kipp Bradford, Shawn Wallace from AS220 Labs). Anyone else going out there? We should make a point to meet up. I'll be either in the Maker Shed or the O'Reilly booth, but I'm going to make a point of getting out to see more stuff this year. All work and no play, etc.

Too bad there isn't one on the East Coast...sounds neat.

Even a TED East - "Teddy" or "Teddie" or "Ted-East" is in the works!

There is also the Business Innovation Factory's Collaborative Innovation Summit which will be held Oct 7-8 this year at the Trinity Rep. And the talks from the past 4 years are located online.

@ilikepi, there is a plan underway to do a small, Maker Faire-inspired event here in RI this fall. If you'd like to get involved, sign up for http://groups.google.com/group..., check out the latest update, and stay tuned for more details.
