Wed May 18 19:14:35 UTC 2011

Soon the Maker Faire E-mail Flooding of 2011 will be over. Until then, We
need people to set-up our booth!!!

I want to send a special team down on Thursday to do a quick overview and
see what the situation is!
Currently I'm working on  getting in touch with someone to see if this is a
good idea, and if we can start setting up at least for Friday, or just to
get our space ruled out and tabled off.

On the second page of The Maker Faire
Manual<http://cdn.makezine.com/make/makerfaire/bayarea/2011/mfba11_maker_manual.pdf>You'll
find the set-up times listed!

Please Remember our maker Number! *5036*
and bring ID to check in.
Please read the manual a little if you haven't already.
 Here's the List
<https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0Ajq9PPRcaoAfdDNWZjBvVlZua09BV0FjLUdWdzRQMHc&hl=en&authkey=CIX6qJAO>I've
submitted for entry credentials. I hope everyone is on here...

Maker Faire Parking and Check-in Information

Maker Faire is this weekend!

Very important directions, check-in, parking and unloading details follow.
Please read them carefully, as things have changed from previous years.

We strongly recommend setting up Friday, and carpooling Saturday and Sunday
to the Franklin Templeton Lot, where a free shuttle will start at 7:30 am to
bring Makers to the fairground.
   Check out Dale Dougherty on NBC's press:here as he previews Maker Faire
Bay Area 2011!<http://makermedia.createsend5.com/t/r/l/jijiuud/plldhjlju/i/>

   Maker Check-in is in the red and white striped tent via the Saratoga
Drive entrance near *GATE DD* on the east side of the fairgrounds at the
south end of the parking lot. Follow the signs to Maker Check-in.

When you arrive, please identify yourself with your 4-digit Maker Number.
It is important for check-in. The check-in staff will provide you with a
detailed map to your location.

*Check-in on Thursday (10am – 6pm) or Friday (10am – 8pm) options:*
1. Check-in – Standard - unload your materials on to a cart and set up your
exhibit.
2. Check-in – Special - stop at Maker Check-in, pick up a Temporary Vehicle
Unloading Pass. Drive your vehicle to the location closest to your exhibit,
unload and move your car to the parking area as soon as possible.
3. Enjoy the Maker activities on Friday afternoon and make Saturday and
Sunday easier!

*Parking options on Saturday and Sunday if you have checked in on Friday:*
1. Free Parking - park free at Franklin Templeton and walk or take a shuttle
to the Event Center. Shuttle will start running at 7:30am.
2. Paid Parking – purchase a $10 weekend parking pass at Maker check-in on
Friday only and park in a designated area that will be indicated on a map
when you buy your ticket.

*Pre-Show Check-in on Saturday (opens 7:30am) or Sunday (opens 8am)*
Leave your driver’s license with the attendant at the Saratoga East Entrance
gate. Unload in 15-30 minutes and return to gate to pick up your license by
9:30am and move your car to Free parking lot and walk or take a shuttle back
to the Event Center.
OR
Pay $17 for daily parking, go to Maker check-in, unload and park in the same
lot where you are unloading.

* Check-in during Show Hours – Saturday (10am – 8pm) and Sun (10am – 6pm)*
1. Go to Gate B on Delaware Street, check-in and then unload at a designated
drop-off only location.
2. Please bring a Maker Assistant to help you with parking the car. Give
them their ticket/wristband (so they can get back in), have them park the
car in a free parking lot and walk back or take a shuttle back while you are
moving your equipment to your area. We will do our best to advise the
closest parking spots available depending on how they fill up.

*Carts*
We will have carts available to help transport equipment / materials to your
exhibit space.

*Questions or Concerns*
If you have emailed us without receiving a response, our apologies as we are
working onsite and have limited access to email. Please bring all questions
and concerns to Maker check-in and we will address them at check-in or you
will work directly with your Area Manager.

If you have not completed the Maker Assistant list or Large Group
spreadsheet, please bring your list of Maker Assistant names with you to
check-in to make things at check-in move along faster.

Thank you for all of your hard work in preparing your exhibits. It’s going
to be an incredible weekend!
