Hello digital creatives, new media artists, makers, and the like!

Below is the updated schedule for Dorkbot and friends' one day conference
FrayedWire on Saturday, July 11th, including five workshops.  The workshops
are limited in size (10-15 people each), so please save your spot by
registering now at http://frayedwire.eventbrite.com.  Full descriptions of
workshops and presentations are on the program page:
http://frayedwire.com/program.  If you want to sign up for more than one
workshop, email shelly at wagglelabs.com!  Want to get in for free?  We need
volunteers!  Again, email shelly at wagglelabs.com.

We're also excited to announce Leah Beuchley, who invented the Lilypad
Arduino <http://web.media.mit.edu/%7Eleah/LilyPad/> kit, donated a kit to
FrayedWire, which we will be using as Prize for Best Wearable Accessory!
You'll have lots of chances between the workshops and the open lab space to
come up with something fabulous.  Also, feel free to bring tools & junque
materials for the open lab space to use in your making.
