Field Trip: Maker Faire, San Mateo

 Doggie Diner Talismans

We took a sojourn to the Maker Faire in San Mateo over the weekend and found a few things to oogle.  It mostly consisted of a circus of circuit boards, metal fire sculptures, steampunk parades, LEDs and random bits of randomness.  It's inspiring.  I'm not quite sure how yet, but a good time was had by all.

This could be a nice bit of irreverence in a formal garden.  Mirrors in shady places can add some much-needed sparkle.

A band played on the front porch of this little cut-away house.  I love the loft and the fact that the "interior" is furnished.  For some reason, it reminds me of this hilarious Mickey Mouse cartoon.

These silver cups hung from the ceiling and undulated in patterns like a droplet hitting a glass of water.  Mesmerizing!

And of course, a fluorescent polyester-covered party-mobile offered rides.  A spectacle to observe the spectacle.
