Maker Faire Day 1....Wow!!!!

Wow, simply wow. Seriously, I can't express how fantastic, crazy, amazing, wow-ish, Maker Faire day 1 was. I am now horse, my voice has simply disappeared. We didn't know what to expect going into the Maker Faire, but if tomorrow is anything like today, man this would have been one crazy weekend.

Jess and I had put together 200 business card size information cards so people can go to instructables.com to learn how to make their own Lego mosaic, well, 3 hours into the Faire, we had given all 200 out, so, Jess drove home at lunchtime and printed off 200 more cards, well, by 4:30-5pm, we were out of those too! People just did not stop coming by! It was fantastic!

From 10am until 6pm, Jess and I were on our feet explaining what our booth was about and what was great, it was the whole gambit of demographics that came out! We had very young kids to those who were kids at heart. It was a blast, Unfortunately, I'm on such a rush, that it'll be hard for me to get the much needed sleep to do this again tomorrow!

Oh one of the highlights of the day, this fantastic young woman approached me and asked if I was the one who put up the instructable, I of course, said yes. Well, it turns out earlier she had found the instructable on her own and had made a Gazelle Lego Mosaic! I had a grin from ear to ear because my work on the Instructable had lead to someone else creating something they enjoyed, and she had a grin from ear to ear for meeting the person who made the Instructable she enjoyed. It was a win win/grin grin all around :)

The other highlight of the day was seeing my wife stand next to me getting just as into telling people about the booth as I was. It was nice to see both of us having a great day :)

Anyway, for those of you coming to this site for the first time, I hope to be featuring your mosaics on here soon!
