2024/10/20 Northern California Maker Faire at Mare Island
π 2024-10-20 01:01 in Outings, Public
Maker Faire came back but it's not really in the bay area anymore, Mare Island is honestly closer to Sacramento than it is from the South Bay. It's a bad location in my opinion, and I hope they come back to something more central to the bay, but we'll see.


That said I was driving back from Tahoe, so that remote location was on the way home and stopping there wasn't terrible. We arrived almost at opening time, but with offsite parking and bussing in, it did burn about 30mn. not ideal but we arrived in eventually:


Finally at the entrance:











It was nice to be in time for Adam Savage from mythbusters:

I also loved the cuttlefish art car from burning man:

For some reason they also had cars:





This was fun enough, but the new location is not great, I hope they change it back to the middle of the bay area, I don't care if it has to cost more as a result.
