[Novalug] Maker Faire Washington, DC

[Superfro]

It would be awesome if they would have a full on faire going on some 
time, what we do have coming up is robot fest.
http://robotfest.com/  It's being marketed as a 'mini maker faire', i've 
been last year and I'll be there this year.  It's cool but its no full 
on maker faire.

I'm part of harford hackerspace (http://www.harfordhackerspace.org), a 
hackerspace in northern baltimore, we'll have a booth at robot fest.  If 
there are any similar events in the area you'll be sure we'll be there.  
Also coming up is the hamboree (http://www.gbhc.org/) in timonium.  It's 
not anything like robot fest but its the hugest swap meet of nerds and 
lots of gizmos and conversations to be had...  Keep an eye on HacDC 
(http://hacdc.org/) and our web site for anything remotely resembling 
mini faire's.
