Handcar Regatta

REMINDER!
Those stalwart hucksters of DIY virtues we know and love, FBUC, will be marauding upon a maelstrom of contraptions o’er the San Mateo fairgrounds this weekend, May 22-23 for the annual Maker Faire 2010!

MIND BENDING!
Like the Luther Burbank Rose Parade last weekend (and the Sebastopol Apple Blossom Festival Parade before that), three teams and their four GIANT mechanical contrivances, plus a multitude of more nimble kinetic doohickies, will careen leisurely through the 80,000+ throng of the gaping rabble at the faire.

FEATURING!
Bear witness to Krank-Boom-Clank, Whiskeydrunk Cycles, and Todd Barricklow. Collectively they are known as FBUC (Fun Bike Unicorn Club).

AND MORE!
Vendors of fine wares seen at The Handcar Regatta and members of The Glorious Etsy Steamteam shall be on hand to adorn and inspire at the FBUC encampment, including Choklit Chanteuse of Adornments for Tarts, Sarah Dungan of Industrial Fairytale, plus Nullalux of Theriaca Fina (literally, “fine treacle”).

GET THEE TO THE FAIRE!
If you have even the slightest inkling toward hacking and building, or wish to nobly educate and enlighten your children for a better future, you simply must extract yourself from your couch-bound indention and see this amazing Maker Faire!
