I too am in the Bay Area. Makers Fair was fun and I could do that again. I can also show you guys my labs in San Jose (very close to the airport).
I may be able to swing a work trip to other venues, so long as they are relevant. (Tokyo in Tulsa would be a no go).

I think there might be enough of us that we could start trying to commit to Maker Faire for 2015. Did we want to exhibit or just attend?
