maker's faire misc

2009, googles, burning man, need-a-shave
faire was great yesterday. came in to see a whole booth w/ kiddie pool and build your own seastead kit that Liz made happen w/ no help from me - yay! Brochures were very popular, we went through all 200 before the end of the day, plus got 40 mailing list signups. At the booth I talked to Danny O Brien from EFF, Seth Roberts (of the Shangri-La Diet), [info]crasch, Declan McCullagh, and numerous other interested people. Made me think about the value of coordination - events where many people will be at, as a chance to talk to many people you've just seen online. Also went and saw [info]kimeidoplex (who needs to dress more scantily if she's going to really fill the booth babe role) and [info]deeptape at their nearby booth.

One group came up and asked me about pirates, and I sighed and launched into my "99% of the ocean is not within 100 miles of Somalia response", and they laughed and said they were just teasing me, they know all about seasteading and how people always ask about pirates :). They were some friends of [info]jhogan's who are planning to come to Ephemerisle.

What I did not get to do was wander around, so Tovar & I are headed to Kinkos to try to print more brochures, and then to Maker Faire to wander around, yay!

Ok, gotta run.

I'm not worried about pirates, but what are the chances of seasteading being made illegal if it starts to become successful? And what could be done to keep seasteads out from under government control?

This is one of our 2-3 Biggest Challenges, and to answer you will take a chapter, not an LJ comment :). Check back in the fall for a new edition of the book...
