Maker Faire NYC 2010

MAKER FAIRE 2010!! Nerds, hobbyists, and inventors UNITE! We get there and this lady offers us tickets for $15 a pop. TAKEN. I really have no idea what's at the fair, but the website said:

What can I expect?
To have the time of your life! You'll be surprised and intrigued with every corner that you turn.

Deal!

FISHBIKEZ!! Never would I have imagined that I would one day ride a FishBike! Remember when I posted about them in my Whoa, June! post?


As you can see, I'm struggling and there's only one side of the fish. Why? Because I'm the idiot who fell over and broke the fish door! :( They were cool about it and were really happy that I would try again.


So cute!


Coolest thing ever! We rocked this hamster-wheel-bike-travaganza.


Jenine makes beads!






Free-form thread illustrations!




Pupusas and tamales from Red Hook's Soler.


Alginate molds!


We trade creepy gross thumbs.

Cold Spring

Orit and I went mountain climbing hiking last Sunday in Cold Spring, New York. It's a little over an hour north of Grand Central on the Metro North.

20 minutes into hiking.

A Day in Queens
