Keeping It Simple


Mitch and James want to throw a party for the Makers, and everyone else, that will be in town for the weekend. The desire is for a family friendly, good-times-encouraged, affair with games, food, and good fun.
Brainstorming

Help us plot and plan! (add your ideas below)


Event Wishlist


  • Bad Dance-Off needs a DJ and horrible song submissions
  • 15min Introduction to Dungeons and Dragons (D&D)or World of Darkness (WOD)
Can someone help track down the people who host games in the space on Sundays?
  • Finger Painting Competition
  • Hambone Competition (we'll need to form a blue grass-style band
  • Hacker Shuffleboard (we'll need sidewalk chalk and someone to set this up along the wall by the kitchen.
  • Vinyl Sticker Cutting by Donation (who can handle this?)
  • People repping 3D Printers (also a hit at previous events)
  • T-shirt silkscreening (someone please help take point on this)
  • Flyer Creation (James is happy to do this once more event details are known
  • Music and Performance. Let me know if you're available! Recommend Bands, etc.
  • Another fundraising crew for Noisebridge, set up by the door to welcome everyone.
  • The Maker Maker - a photo frame with Idea lightbulb over head. could be as simple as a cardboard box
  • Send Noisebridge Agents to the MakerFaire with "invite cards" to get the word out (would they hand them out to anybody? Or would we want them to target makers/hackers/people with booths?)
  • 3D printing demos
  • wall of LED strips from Heroic Robotics, see Youtube here: http://www.heroicrobotics.com/




Also note, Noisebridge will have a booth/table at the MakerFaire, see page Maker_Faire_2013, Maker Faire
