Hi everyone,

Mike, John, and I were running Angry Birds at the US Science and Engineering festival today.  We have good news and bad news:

Good News:  Angry birds was a BIG hit.  We one of the largest crowds out of all of the booths I saw.  I heard other parents talking about our booth, and I had parents tell me we had the _only_ booth that their kid wanted to see.  Kids were teaching physics to one another.  We introduced hackerspaces to about 50-100 parents. 

Bad News:  We had a huge 30-60 minute line from 10am - 6pm.  This means absolutely no breaks, because some poor 5 year old has been waiting patiently for almost an hour to have his turn.  The exhibit takes a minimum of 3 people to run (one to grab the birds, one to hold the slingshot, and one to rest/prevent anarchy.)  With only 3 of us, we were nearly overwhelmed. 

I can't help tomorrow, so I don't know what John and Mike are going to do.  If you can spare part of your Sunday, they desperately need the help.  I promise that you'll have a lot of fun-- the festival was extremely interesting. 

Rob
