Its almost surreal. Somebody* is actually paying me money to drive the Vardo out to the Maker Faire in San Mateo next month. Even with my old clunker truck, the small travel award will more than pay for the trip and I’ve been wanting to attend the Faire for several years now anyway, so his is a perfect opportunity. If you are a maker, artisan, artist, or mad scientist, the Maker Faire is worth checking out. In their words its a: A two-day, family-friendly festival of invention, creativity and resourcefulness, and a celebration of the Maker movement.
On a personal front, I am busily working up the line drawings of the Vardo and hope to have high quality prints for sale at the Faire. Also, they will available via the web and purchasable for a small price via PayPal.
Hope to see you there.
