Art Jamboree

February event was at Flux Design (http://www.thinkflux.com/)
Our blog post: http://milwaukeemakerspace.org/2012/02/art-jamboree/
Our tie pins were a success as usual.
It was noted that the Makerbot was being flaky, but the cause was likely the laptop it was paired with at the event.
The next event is TBD, but may be at Discovery World.
