That said, I don't think I attended the Maker Fair, so it's entirely
possible there are gapping holes in my interpretation, rendering the
following moot. Either way, here I go:

</div>
<div>1) Is there a date set for this Electric Fields extravaganza?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I get the sense this is longer than one day, since there was a
suggestion to have a maker fair for one evening...</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>2) I'm not sure the nuances of what a "Maker Fair" entail, but
from my immediate interpretation, it would be all things building, DIY,
and fantastical. Ya? </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>3) Pending on clarifications of the above, my immediate
suggestion would be to leverage TEDxKids exposure to help launch a
solid Canadian Maker Fair. It's unsurprising that we have to trek to
NYC for such things, however, I think we have the potential to create a
microcosm Maker Fair in Ottawa and rock it (at least running with my
current definition of what this entails).</div>

<div>ps. As for the bus rental and such Mister Andrew, I don't have
firsthand border crossing experience, but I'll ask around. Road trip....<br>

of this, especially those of you who have had the chance to attend a
Maker Fair.<br>
