Oy vey, another Dan! Take a number… @erunaamo is Dan the First, @randomdan is Dan the Second, @bsodan is Dan the Third, @danny316p is Danfourth… I now pronounce thee Danfifth! (…and we actually have a few others registered on the site, but they’re not very active and thus have been exempted from our enumeration…)
But seriously, welcome,…[Read more]

Sorry for the delay, it has been a hectic week indeed.
Thank you all for Doolin’! I’ve added Matt, Zach, Dan, Nick, and Josh as Helpers.
I emailed Chad when I made that post and haven’t heard back since, so we’re going to plan for just one booth area (similar to last year). This means one table along the front with room for MOCs and likely some…[Read more]

I have the play brick, the LUG sign (chain link fence behind our booth on which we can hang it, right?), and the Harry Potter mosaic.
@danny316p, care to Doodle your availability to staff? Sounds like you have a nice assortment of stuff we can display! What is the “interactive stuff”…?

Good news, everyone!
We’re indoors this year! Here’s our page on the Maker Faire site: http://makerfairepittsburgh.com/maker/steel-city-lug/. Please review the logo and description at the bottom of the page. We have until tomorrow evening to update them (I just filled in some generic info initially).
Here’s the Doodle: http://doodle.com/poll/nk4v…[Read more]

@danny316p most members live within driving distance so it may be tough finding a hotel partner, but it may be possible for you to crash at someone’s house. My apartment isn’t really suited for guests, but we’ll see what we can get working.
As for GBC I’m not sure if anyone else has functioning components, but it would be cool! We currently…[Read more]

I got some information from Chad. They’re limiting Maker badges again so we’re going to need to register all Makers/helpers. We need a solid headcount ASAP.
As for the orientation they’d like as many people to attend as possible, but if you can’t email Chad (so they have it on record) and one of us who attends can explain what they go…[Read more]

The ball run and pneumatic walker seemed to help with that, but I’m not sure if we can expect that much space this time around. One thing that worked well at Maker Faire NC back in the day was a MUJI make-and-take – kids cut out various shapes, use LEGO-sized hole punches and connect the paper pieces together with 1 x 1 round plates (we had a…[Read more]

Probably interested in doing this again. Especially if we can make it more interactive somehow, since that’s kind of the point. Last year was great, but it was mostly a “look at what we maked!” rather than a “learn how we maked it and make something yourself!”
Also, if we can make sure we’re organized earlier this year, that’d be great.…[Read more]
