Goodness, has it been a month since I've posted? It's not that I've been slacking, but I've been busy... though not with much that is newsworthy.
My Make debut will still be the Halloween Issue (highlighted on the front page of simreal), but is two articles and not three (one is being held over for NEXT Halloween. Also, my BoomStick project should appear in Make 12, the next issue! PLUS I will have an article in Craft 6 or 7 (I'm not sure yet). The final article isn't due until Mid October, so it won't ship until.. who knows? Make 13? 14?
It's interesting -- the Craft people seem to be more organized and "official" than the Make folks; contracts and stuff even. Wacky. I guess knitters are a meticulous bunch?
As for OTHER work... I have all the parts for the final build of a Dancing Fire Tube (ne' Ruben's), one of two. I have most of the parts for the second one, too. I do need to order giant propane tanks, and probably a manifold to split the output...
This new Fire Tube will be at the September Dorkbot, where I will be using it to punctuate my DJ skills (which I will cobble together the night before, I'm sure).
It will _also_ be at Maker Faire (see the simreal front page!) -- where I will have a booth! Yay! I hope not to suck too much! I hope to have the fire tube, ANOTHER fire display (which Tall Matt and I and possibly Philip will poke at this weekend), a flying crank ghost, hot-glue cobwebs (and my compressor), silicon body parts, a revived Stewart (corpse in a barrel pop-up), life-casting of audience memebers (faces or hands; Smooth-On is helping sponsor this!), ummm... and stuff!
I need neat ideas for stuff to build for the SCARE haunt, that I can incorporate into the Faire. I hope to steal some walls from SCARE, too, to build up my booth. I'll find out more ... this weekend!
