Flaschen Taschen

What's the project?

We are going to build a Mate Light display at Noisebridge. Our goal is to have this completed for Make Faire.

It is based on jaseg's display show at shown at 23C3. https://github.com/jaseg/matelight

Flaschen Taschen is planned to be 9' 9" wide 7' 7" tall and host 1575 lights.

Drink Ups

This project requires a lot of bottles, so we'll want to setup a bunch of "Shut Up, Drink Up, Hack Up" events at Noisebridge.

Requirement for Bottles

12 oz is the right size

• Approximately 12 oz (which is the average beer/soda bottle size)
• Clear glass only
• Rinsed out with water

Bottles are known to work

• Most glass soda bottles with flat sides, such as Jarritos.
• Corona
• Some nicer ciders like Crispin
• Club Mate

• 

  Mexican Sodas work well (but not the big bottle)

• 

  12 oz Corona

• 

  2 oz Crispin

• 

  11.2 oz Mate bottle on the left

Where to buy in bulk

List out where we could buy some of these in bulk for the drink ups

Costco should have Corona for <= $1 a bottle.
