>> Event details (for convenience):
>>
>>> Cleveland Mini-Maker Faire 2014 will be held at the Cleveland Public Library (both old and new buildings) between 10a-5p on 3/29/2014 and will feature 100+ exhibitors that like to share knowledge and teach attendees how to make cool things, age no bar!
>>>
>>> More event information on their website here:
>>> http://www.makerfairecleveland.com
>>>
>>> Come celebrate making with SYN/HAK at the 2014 Cleveland Mini-Maker Faire!
>>>
>>> Find us in the lower level (outside the auditorium) of Louis Stokes Wing aka the new building
>>>
>>> At this year's event, we plan to:
>>> - Provide an area for people of all ages to build simple circuits on the fly using a SnapCircuits kit (first come first served)
>>> - Showcase Arduino Mega controlled relays to synchronize your 110V devices
>>> - Showcase how to easily use painters tape and a battery to illuminate LEDs that remain lit for months
>>> - Showcase simple off the shelf solar panels to illuminate more LEDs and power Arduinos
>>> - Showcase RaspberryPi
>>> - Showcase TinyLily and Tinyduino by TinyCircuits in Akron
>>> - Showcase an illuminated lab-coat (worn by G)
>>> - Showcase how to solder circuits (time and materials permitting)
>>> - Share information about Syn/Hak so that attendees can learn about our recent relocation in Akron downtown.
>>>
>>> I guess you could say we're excited to be illuminating LEDs all day at the Cleveland Mini-Maker Faire 2014, so come on out and have fun illuminating LEDs with us!
>>>
>> Torrie, I got a response from CMMF that yes, soldering is indeed allowed at the library. They are encouraging lots of it this year.
>>
>> I think I have a good spread of things to display on an 8foot table. I might even go vertical with some of the permanent interactive displays. Also, I plan to stand in front of the table this year, rather than behind.
>>
>> Following things are forthcoming for this event (they're in the mail, if I get it I'll update the meetup event):
>> - LED strip that I hope to mount on the 8foot table's edges to illuminate the whole table
>> - 50-100 LEDs and 3V batteries - for the youngest attendees for them to take with them
>>
>> Questions I have pending:
>> - Do we have a Synhak sign that I can take with me (battered is fine)?
>> - CMMF just announced that there is one parking permit per exhibitor that they can cover. I'm going so I plan to use the permit they give me for my car. Anyone want to come along, simply reply back and we can rendezvous at Synhak around 8a. I plan to have an early day, might event stop at Syn/Hak earlier than 8a on 3/29 for last minute planning/testing. Unlike last year, I plan to move towards Cleveland by 8:30a at the latest. My trunk will pretty much fit everything I plan to carry. 
>> - I want to plan to blog the event. But if I'm solo, I can't video tape makers in attendance and their projects for obvious reasons. If you go with me, it'll allow me to "guerrilla video" makers - I don't know if CMMF has a dedicated resource for this.
>>
>> As I have more questions, I plan to reply to this thread. Please reply back with your thoughts, additional demos that you might wish to share with attendees.
>>
>> Thanks in advance to all the hackers at synhak and makersalliance for helping me with this.
