[dorkbotdc-blabber] Nice pictures

Katie, 



Thanks for taking the pictures at the last meeting. 



I got a real kick out of seeing the sign:  "East Coast Maker Fair!" 



You know, Robot Fest is basically a scaled down "Maker Fair" and it is only a 30 minutes drive from DC.  I believe that there was only 2 or 3 people from MakeDC and Dorkbots-DC combined that attended last year!   MakeDC sponsored a workshop at RobotFest last year but I needed to recruit volunteers from our HAM radio club and the HEM museum to help run the workshop.  I just don't see the level of interest in the MD - DC area to support a MakerFair event that needs to draw 10,000 to 20,000 people to be financially sound. 



RobotFest is scheduled for the last Saturday in April 2009 





Gary
