completely on your own. The Maker Faire Staff will not reply to your
emails at all, but rest assured, they're reading them. They are,
indeed, swamped. Basically, plan to have 1 table full of fun stuff,
print some very big pictures or signs with info, and have some stickers
or pamphlets to hand out to people who want to know more about your
space. <br>
<br>
Don't anticipate working wireless. Don't expect any help from Maker
Faire staff in setup or tear down. Really, the biggest thing I can say
is that, despite the lack of response from Maker Faire staff, they
really are on top of things. They just aren't communicative.<br>

folks, not sure who specifically to ask, so figured I'd post here.<br>
Kwartzlab has a booth at Maker Faire Detroit. While a bunch of us were<br>
in San Mateo in May, It's our first time on the maker side of the table<br>
and was hoping to draw off Noisebridge's illustrious experience at<br>
previous Maker Faires ;)<br>
<br>
What should we be expecting? Was there anything in particular that<br>
worked out/didn't work/didn't plan for (either for setup or during the<br>
event)? Response has been a little light from some of the Maker Faire<br>
organizers (Not their fault -- I'm sure they're swamped) but if anyone<br>
can share some insight here (or contact me off list), we'd be most
grateful!<br>
<br>
Cheers!<br>
