Wall-E

So, in case I didn't mention it to anyone who may be reading this, Disney is going to be at this years Faire. We saw the crates with Wall-E painted on the outside, so I am quite excited to see what they are going to do. I never figured that they would come to something like this, but really this is a gathering of some of the brightest and most creative minds around, and usually people who are really good at building stuff - which makes sense considering it appears that WDI is hiring.

Unfortunately not everything is great this year, we are stuck in a 10x10 booth, with chain link dividers on both sides of us. It's a real squeeze, a real tight squeeze. And not to mention that SparkFun is right across from us, they aren't exactly are arch nemesis, but they are competition. Instructables is kitty-korner to us as well which is cool, though I must say, our laser is bigger than theirs :-)

So we are squished in and it's going to be a lot of work to get people in and out but we can do it, we have the mousebot, which is very cool. The Faire definitely is bigger this year a bit better run, and bigger sponsers which is all very cool. That and we aren't working 10AM to 10PM as we expected, our area is going to close at 6PM which means that we can actually see stuff at night, including the Flaming Lotus Girls. I'll take pictures :-)

Oh, and I already got a free shirt and some stickers from Yahoo! And I had the strawberry crepes (Bacon and Eggs tomorrow!)
