Detroit Maker Faire Was Kinda Awesome

I was excited to have a chance to go to the Detroit Maker Faire this year. I've always wanted toattend such a thing, but the stars never aligned. I saw an entire tent filled with DIY 3D Printersmaking strange objects including the coolest polyhedral dice ever. Utilikilts held in place with suspenders! Haberdashery! Quilting! Blacksmithing! Books! A Cupcake Car! Gomp! Beer! Remote control turtles!A giant hay bailer! Numerous strange pedal powered forms of locomotion, and an entiregarrison of Star Wars costumes... Besides, it's not often you have the opportunity to witness a giant steel dragon blow fireballs in a parking lot. I've shared a giant collection of photos if you want to see these things and more for a taste of the inspiring insanity I can't wait for next year... and between now and then I have some projects to tackle.
