Will the maker faire have any presence at Bumbershoot? Particularly the new aspect of the DIY vendors. I'd love to see at least some sort of MAKE booth going on there.
I was the first purchaser at the MakerFaire booth (got my commerative MakerFaire 2006 T-shirt). As for the "faire" itself, it was just ok. Could of been much, much better. Organization was pretty lousy (went from the front of the waiting line, to the back of the entrance line). Way less "booths" than we wished for. The Crucible had their outdoor fire-breathing firetruck (way cool), while other exhibitors were not finished "building" their contraptions. Sun had a Java-based programmable device that's suppose to be released sometime next month. Check back as I may put up my picts in the near future!
