Mitch and James want to throw a party for the Makers, and everyone else, that will be in town for the weekend. The desire is for a family friendly, good-times-encouraged, affair with games, food, and good fun.
Brainstorming

Help us plot and plan! (add your ideas below)

  • The Maker Maker - a photo frame with Idea lightbulb over head. could be as simple as a cardboard box
  • Send Noisebridge Agents to the MakerFaire with "invite cards" to get the word out (would they hand them out to anybody? Or would we want them to target makers/hackers/people with booths?)
