Maker Faire Fun

Maker Faire Fun
The Maker Fair in Austin was incredible. Some pictures are ...well, I did my best I could with my little camera. Here are a few highlights. (I wish I could have captured more.)
In step 4, I have an instructable on making a purse from the Swap-A-Rama.

We spent 6 hours going to and from the faire, so we made sure to experience everything we could.

Outside: the giant Mouse Trap, the cycle-powered wheel, and the guitar pick cycle amused the crowds and kids.

The EPYBird Diet Coke & Mentos show dazzled everyone!

An incredible car, covered with singing fish and lobsters, gteeted us when we arrived. 2 fish at the top led the way with a maestro in the middle.
(Sadly, the pictures didn't come out.)
Also outside.....huge kites, catapults, rockets, bicycle snake, performers, Microsoft booth, giant skull to put flowers on, and I know I'm forgetting so much more.
