The 21st century carnival comes to town. The tents are getting pitched, the tools are being set out, the batteries are charging. Excitement builds as the first outlines of the 2008 Maker Faire Bay Area take shape. Above, Bay Area metal sculptor Dan Das Mann’s 39′ “Crude Awakening” sculpture prays for sunny skies and a world of enthused participants. We hope you’ll be among them. If you can’t join us in person, there will be plenty of Faire coverage here on Make: Blog.
