Baltimore DIY Fest
Here's an event that might roust up some Baltimore makers and hackers: The Balitmore DIY Fest hosted at 2640.
I'll be there with the fam' from 11 till about 3, cutting out at noon-ish for lunch up the street at Chipotle (near 32nd and St Paul). I want to catch the MIDI instruments workshop, and my wife is hoping to see the bicycle repair session. Stuff that's bordering on relevant for us.
Unfortunately we found out about the event a bit too late to get our act together, but next year we hope to have ready a DIY home foodstuffs guide for sale or gift. For goodness sake, tables are only 5$ for the whole day. We do some of our own canning, coffee roasting, sourdough bread baking (all my wife), and beer brewing. "coffee canning beer and bread" has a nice ring to it.
The space is a very cool old (old) church in the midst of refurbishing. I saw a friend's theater company (Run of the Mill Theatre) put on a play there and was very impressed. Right now I'm out in the 'burbs but looking for a place in the city so it'll be easier to get involved with things like this... not that we should let location be any excuse for talking but not walking.
