Fantastic day at Generator today as we celebrated our 1 year anniversary !..

It started at 8:30 when I helped my good buddy Karen teach about 11 women how to program arduino light up headbands. It was so much fun working with these folks.. they are good makers. At the beginning nine had ever touched a micro controller or soldered.. By the end, all had working headbands and running code @

Around 4, things started up for the parts, here are 300 cupcakes arraanged in our logo.. A labor of love

 

 

THer was food and drink everywhere !

 

 

i was lit up for the event.. so got lots of selfies.. here are a very few.. including this one , with jules, my ice cream helper

\

we made about 5 gallons of ice cream with liquid nitrogen.. it was a crownd pleaser.. ..

 

Ran into so many friends.. including my old friend megan and her boyfriend. 

 

there were speeches from all sorts of folks including board members, M and Champlain folks, city folks including Mayor Miro

 

All in all we had 500 folks by about 3/4 through.. I’m going to guess our total was about 600 ..

by 8 PM things were winding down and we were there to clean up the mess.. Believe it or not, I had an important work call tonight.. so I listened while I hosed chocolate ice cream goo off of everything I owned

 

at the end of the night friend matt custom made me a shirt !

as I shuffled my stuff off to the car I looked up and saw venus..  what a pretty universe we have.. no ?

man.. busy day.. ready for sleep.. more tomorrow..
