Unfortunately the video is missing in action (withdrawn by user). It was a fun event, I talked to literally hundreds of people.
I, too, am interested in watching this video of the first Maker Faire in my home state, CT!
Got the updated link from Mark this AM. Fixed now.
Whoa, a MMF in Westport? That’s the coolest thing that’s ever happened there. I went to high school in Westport and wished there was something like that out there then.
