Just home form the Burlington Art Hop.. It’s a great city-wide happening when all sorts of folks come out to see all sorts of art. Diane and I got down there a little before 6. First stop was to see friend Chris’ opening at the Flynn Dog. He has some really great steampunk pieces. They are just so beautiful.. I’m so proud of chris.. I helped him a little by adding sound effects to the sub.. and gabe helped make some of the seaweed pieces..

My firend Kates stuff was in the same gallery space.

THen we drove back up the street to see the Vermont Makers.. Along the way we ran into so many old freinds. Here’s Urion , his borthe rand friends. Urion was in Sam’s band . he’s an awseom kid an awesome musician

there was music on pine street at several venues.. including right across from our Vermont makers space.

the stores were decked out as gallery’s too. here’s my favorite lighting store.

some guys out back doing glass blowing.

with soem great stained glass next door

our maker compound had soem great stuff. Jenn was there with her arduion baloon project, eric had lots of cool light bling, Steve had his qudcopter and colin brought the UVM light thingy..  We had a steady stream of folks com through all night.. we were letting them know about the Champlain Makers Faire  and the Vermont Makers meetups. i think we got soem good new recruits !

I also had my hoop there.. kids were playing  with it all night..

another nice lady came by with a commercial light up hoop somewhat like mine.. her’s was really nice.. .and it was cool to compare feeatures. Hers cost 370$ (Yow !)

Last stop was pine street studio to see yolk and friends. .. And I got to see the site of the possible Burlignton fablab.. space is great , needs work, but i saw the potential. Mayor Miro was there too and he even tried the hoop !

(sorry, didn’t get a picture of that 🙂

we live in such a hip state.. I love it.

OK.. I’m so exhausted.. More tomorrow.

night all, night sam
