Hey everyone. World (NYC) Maker Faire was fantastic. The show was maybe 10% smaller than past years, but just as busy and the crowd was great. Special thanks to booth helpers Jeff B., Dean, Drew, Adam, and Mouse. Special thanks also to Jeff for driving Adam/I and most of the equipment + booth stuff; to Dean for bringing us a cooler; and Tony for loaning us Apple/Amdex color monitors + extra //c power supplies. We did something new this year: we brought VCFed's 100-inch portable screen, put in the back of our 10x20 booth, and set up a project front/center. That way the back/center of our booth was one massive screen. We displayed our logo on the right half of the screen and an emulated Apple II in a window on the left half of the screen. We put large dark tarps above and to the side of the booth to keep out sunlight. It worked well: the booth was dark enough to clearly/sharply see our logo and the emulated Apple II display, but light enough that it didn't bother anything. We had three live demo stations (//c) along the back for kids to learn BASIC and a front desk to greet visitors. I couldn't take any pictures: dropped my phone Saturday morning when we arrived and broke its screen. Got it fixed today. $159 "stupid tax". Spotted visiting us: Chris F., Rolf, Stephen E.; David S. from the Trenton event; the 2600/HOPE crew; Stephen C. from IEEE Spectrum; Eric L. who donated the Lego robotics kit last year, and at least a dozen other friends-of-VCF. I could not possibly remember/list them all. ________________________________ Evan Koblentz, director Vintage Computer Federation a 501(c)(3) educational non-profit evan@vcfed.org (646) 546-9999 www.vcfed.org facebook.com/vcfederation twitter.com/vcfederation instagram.com/vcfederation
