Make Faire
We attended the Maker Faire last Sunday. How else could we go to one place and see people make lightning, create Mentos and Diet Coke fountains, design new garments out of donated ones, launch small rockets and cause pickles to glow? There was something for everyone, including kids. Art met science and got handshakes from green technology and innovative industry. The event is held at the San Mateo County Expo Center, so it's perfect for stretching out displays and demonstrations, plus they open the food booths so that you can get all those great fair-style corn dogs, barbecue sandwiches and icy Jamba Juice drinks. The line for the funnel cakes was 50-humans long every time we passed it. Did I mention the guy with the Christmas lights? Lots of oohs and ahs.
