    Anyone else going? I'm really looking forward to it.
    www.makerfaire.com has all the details and if u scroll down there's cool timelapse video of the setup. Check it out over the weekend to see what you're missing!

    I think I read that the Damnation mod (or just the modder) will be there. Lots of other cool and inspiring stuff will be as well.

    Yeah, I've heard good things about it, worth going to in the area.

    As you can see, I'm not in the area. :p

    No, the UK Maker Faire was way back in March. I'd have gone if it wasn't in Newcastle. Suggestion to Make: somewhere more central next time, please :)

    Agreed, Birmingham NEC is about as central as it gets.

    Glad to hear that the MakerFaire is international (and that you knew what it was!)
    I went on Saturday for the first time, and toyed with the idea of going back on Sunday. There was a bunch of really cool things happening everywhere all the time, so it was pretty overwhelming.

    I've uploaded a few pics and videos at my photobucket folder. Feel free to check em out:
