HOPE update
greetings from The Last Hope. We are rocking the hackerspace village here, doing on the spot screen printing of our two designs. We've go through about 50 shirts, which means 50 people walking around with The Hacktory logo on their shirt/laptop-bag/sticker/whatever. Yesterday we drew a great crowd with NO CARRIER and ANIMAL STYLE setup at our booth before their show last night. We had some great stuff running off hacked Nintendos, and people were loving it.
I spoke this morning on Community Fabrication, and I'll be on a panel later today about hacker spaces. Of the 6 ot 7 hackerspaces listed in the villlage, us and NYCResistor are the only ones that are manned and active. In short, we are rocking, and wish (more of) you were here.
Thanks to Tory(especally!), Dylan, Brana, Walt, Stephanie, Don, and Joey. You all
rock, and you make us rock. (and thanks for the awesome picture from mightyohm!

I thought the Arduino 2-color silkscreen shirts were awesome. This is definitely something I want to try in the garage this summer.

Wh00t!
FarMcKon:
We will be sharing the Storm Trooper (not available at HOPE) and the Arduino design (available at HOPE). The Vader design was limited edition for The Last HOPE, so it will not be available.
We're going to keep the screen, and hang it on the wall. JA, if you ask nice someone (me?) might secretly make a one-off for you. If you manage to find my address (FarMcKon@gmail.com) somewhere, drop me a note on what color/size, and I'll sneak off one more print.
JA:
Would you guys be open to sharing either of the designs you had screens for at Hope? I was there and would have made either one, but you didn't have shirts in my size, and I never made it out to get one during the con. I have the ability to screen my own...
Rick:
Just got back home from the Last Hope. It was great to meet you guys!
