It's Maker Faire Time!
The Maker Faire is back! The Bay Area's 4th annual DIY extravaganza and clothing swap returns this year with 600 plus crafters. The Maker Faire is a two-day, event that celebrates the DIY mindset. It's what I would best describe as crafts-meet-burning man-meet-mad science, a strange combo to be sure, but maybe not all that surprising. I see more and more lately the love relationship between science and art and how the too seemingly diverse subjects are drawn to each other. Left brain, meet right brain. Hello! Anyway, the Maker Faire is a fine example of this merging of the minds, and I highly recommend a visit this weekend - it's held at the San Mateo County Fairgrounds. One of my favorites is always Zack the Poem Guy (pictured above). Here's the list of participating artists this year. See ya there!

the maker's faire was awesome this year... my feet definitely hurt by the end of the day but worth it! we saw zach but he was surrounded by people wanting poems.
