There are lots of extra things to do when you are a Maker Faire participant.  I will be getting access tickets for anyone from RepRap who works at the booth, so I will forward all the info I get about related events [I highly recommend being there for set-up on Fri night, May 16.  There is free dinner and it is a good time to see other exhibits that are setting up without the crowds].

If you have any suggestions, complaints or comments about how to improve the booth, let me know.

Thank you,
Lori
 
I am proud to say my son, Andy, was an exhibitor at the Maker Faire in San Mateo with the 3D printer he built.

Hi Lori,

Lori,

Wondering about the current status of this. Were you looking for volunteers for specific times?
