Hi Jason, and thanks!
The NoVA Maker Faire is being held in Reston at South Lakes HS/Hughes MS on
the 19th from 11a-5p. I'm coordinating an amateur radio display along with
the Nova Labs ham radio group.
More info on the Maker Faire: http://nova.makerfaire.com/

Hope to see some of you there.
Best,
-Mark
