OHS & Maker Faire party, electronics tour

[Ian]

Hello,

Last year on Saturday night of the Maker Faire NYC Resistor has a very
nice party. Is that in the works again for this year?

I've been making videos at the big electronics components markets in
Asia and the hackerspaces near them. It would be great to do the same in
New York to contrast the vastly different scenes. I would really like to
include NYC Resistor if there are events around OHS and Maker Faire.
Here's some of our past videos:

Obviously there's nothing like Hua Qiang Bei or Akihabara in New York,
but a few of the stores on the local resources page of the wiki look
interesting. Would anyone like to join us for a short tour, maybe Friday
28th in the afternoon before the MF setup party? Argo Electronics, 269
Electronics, and Leeds Electronics are probably on the agenda. I'm
trying to arrange a visit to a Radio Shack so we can show what they do
in fact have in stock a year after pushing to serve hobbyists again.

Hope to see you at the end of September.

Thank you and best regards,

ian

So what are the details of the party? Can I come while I'm in NY (at the Makerfaire)?

I have not heard anything from the list, but Manhattan Hackerspace is going to be on our global geek tour, along with a few stores including Radio Shack (who foolishly gave us permission to film ;D ) -

If NYCR is doing something after the Faire we'll be there for sure! please keep me updated here or @dangerousproto

Cheers,

I think we're playing it by ear right now. We may come up with a plan for something while we're at Makerfaire.
