There will be projects from noisebridge at the faire this year.

* high above the crowd, the space over the booth will be festooned with tooth pick sculptures by [[monad]
* the space will also be decorated with light.
* a sign will rise up from behind, announcing the presence of Nosebridge to all.
* miloh will be bringing a project as of yet still under wraps
* 3D head scanning for 3D printers, etc. If we had a big screen TV, my lappy can output HDMI.  Headscans look cool on TV.  My printer is currently broken, so can we borrow a Type-A?

====Other Items to Bring====
* NB flyers
* NB stickers 
* NB t-shirts?
* a colloage of photos of noisebridge?
* the [[RoboConfessional]] Especially set up to hear allow the automat confession of sins from faire goers. Also serving as infoshopbot.
