MODS AWAY~!!!
EDI Express® Freight just picked up the skids. On its way to San Francisco.
I need a beer and a shot, STAT!
^^^^ O. M. G.
Paul, go get that cold brewsky.
Nice job man.
I admire your courage to send off those... works of... "art" isn't nearly as useful as those... so, it's beyond art, IMO.
Man, best wishes for those boxes.
w00t w00t!
So, you an AirBozo meeting up?!
Have a cold one in our name guys! :D
Man, I so wanna steal those palates!
Let's do some shots after we set up the mods and play flight sim with triple vision and barf bags!
I went to an event in California for Newegg--Dante and his friend got me smashed on whiskey and beer the night before---Let me tell you the first day of the event, I had a hangover worse than I care to remember! How I managed to stay pleasant and cheerful until it wore off is beyond me. Must be on my best behavior with clients! ;)
Haha...maybe that's just how you remember it ;)Quote:

i hate to see the insurnace on them items.
P.S I been to a few fairs the night after!!!!!!! its always a good idea not to annoy clients, Done it once, Never again, lost me contract with them
Outstanding work as usual Crimson! I really wish I could make the trip to Cali to meet up with everyone.
I'll probably be able to show up on sunday. I have a ticket already and everything. It's still a tossup, though. I need to raise two of my grades (but not very far) then I'm set.
Tell your mom I insist that you come to the expo ;) I'll give her an autograph LoL
"But mom! It's educational!"
"That's what you said about the internet!"
:p

I am heading up there in an hour or so to help. I also brought my camera so if they let me I will snap some pics and post em up!
I demand a group photo! lol
I'll ask a passing conventioneer to snap that photo!
I am leaving work now, heading up to the Fair (or Faire for you renaissance folks).
Hehe
EDIT: Just got home and had a great time helping to setup. The Doom3 mod is just incredible in person. The pictures and video's are great, but to see the detail up close and personal is pretty cool. Kind of strange to see all the high tech stuff then walk outside the building to see a human powered, mouse wheel driven, 25 foot nose picking machine. Right across the lawn from the life size game of Mouse Trap. Can't wait to see the instruments the band will be playing. I am also going to check out the power saw races.
Well as you can tell from the diminishing sentences, I am tired. I will miss the event saturday (today) since I am hosting a bbq for a friend, but will be there sunday to help out and take some more pictures (took a few last night of the setup and will post when I get up later).
You guys suck. Over here...we got some rain.
Yay, go rain. :(
Have a good time though guys. You better! :D
-Dave
Aww man, I'm jealous of you guys. But if there's a show somewhere around the East Coast I'll prolly get up and go if college, etc. doesn't get in the way. Have a great time guys. I'm expecting some pictures and/or videos. :D
Can't wait. Me and a buddy (who isn't a TBCS forumite but has read some stuff here) are going to the Maker Faire tomorrow.
Expect pictures, assuming I can find my damned camera. =D
We are looking forward to meeting you, it's a great time.
I'm sure It'll be fun.Quote:

Maybe I'll just find one of my ultra-rare shirts (only about 30 or 40 of this certain shirt design were made) and wear that, and let you guys know what it looks like.
Anywho, my mom is still on the edge about it. She's debating wether to take me to San Mateo, or to go to San Fransisco to spend the day with her boyfriend.
I guess I'll know in a few hours or less, though.
Meanwhile the rest of us are envious!
Perhaps Paul should go on tour!!!
:pics:
Have a good time guys!
</envy>
I just confirmed it, I'm going. I'll probably be going to bed soon so I can wake up at 8am tomorrow (it's an hour and a half drive to San Mateo from here, then we're going to be at the Faire for two, maybe three, hours.)
edit:
Oh, and I should be wearing a Black Iron Maiden T-shirt with a knock-off Iwo Jima Flag Raising picture on the back (There are undead soldiers raising the "AMOLAD" flag on a pile of skulls)
i DEMAND PICTURES
im envious, all we get as the local shoe making faire,
i vote the UK members take a stand, and have our own faire!!!, copme on, time, place, all bring your PC's and mods. Meet all.
/stupid moment
:pics:
I also demand a fair of sorts on the east coast... preferably Philly?
...yawn...8)
Hell-of-a-bbq last night....
Here are the few setup pics I took;
I have a few chores to do, then I am heading up to the fair. I will take some more pics and upload them later tonight.
Here are some random Maker Faire Pictures & Videos
You can also type in Maker Faire 2007 on YouTube.
ZOMG! Thats so cool, I can't believe I'm missing it. :mad:
Thanks for the pics AirBozo! You da man! Too bad we don't have a live cam setup somewhere, then all of us who couldn't make it can at least be there via live video. Maybe next year though. ^_^
Can't wait for the next set of photos!

I think I know where I am going for my 2008 vacation. :p
lol @ 15hrs.
Hope you guys are having a great time! :D
*sigh* back to studying for me.

More Pictures...
You guys need a "No Touching" sign to protect the mod. ;)
Maybe some extra bracing for the tables too if they wobble.
Awesome pictures! That place is like the ULTIMATE geek fest. I'd love to make the trip sometime.
would view now, but psp dont like vid pages,
dam you us and your faires! i will have to come one day.
Greetings from Maker Faire day 2!!! only 2 more hours left and then its time to wrap it and pack it!!! had a great time, more to follow when we return home :)
Did you get to meet anyone famous? Like the Mythbusters. .?
Well, Paul and Jon met me, that's gotta be worth something =D
Just got home. I got to play around with Doom3's remote and such. Crimson showed me some nifty stuff. Pictures to come.
I'm going to find a way to mass upload them, however. I've got 38 pictures, about 30 of those are of Doom3 (and one or two for Project Skunkworks).
Shibby.
Got pictures uploaded. All of 'em should be up shortly.

So.. Jon and Omega. Looks like everyone was having a good time. What was it like meeting the man and seeing the ULTIMATE creation in person?
It was pretty awesome. I didn't take the time to play Doom3 on Doom3, as Crimson had it set up for. Nor did I play the flight sim that was on Skunkworks, but I did see them both and get some mod ideas.
I even got Crimson and Jon to sign my Pocket Refrence book. =D
