Burning Man Wearable Computing Fashion Show
Come strut your blinky stuff on the currently-being-assembled catwalk.
It's time again (depending on your Labor Day weekend plans) to pack up your blinky and fur and sunblock and get yourself out to the Black Rock desert for the 25th annual Burning Man festival!
Burning Man is a fantastic experiment in both radical self-expression and self-reliance. It provides an excellent opportunity to take some time away from your "default reality" and get in touch with your inner-dustbunny. Several SparkFun-ites are going this year, and we hope to see you there.

Speaking of you, what are you bringing? We here at SparkFun think this event is exactly the type of community we'd like to foster, and we'd like to hear which SparkFun widgets you'll be using in your art installation/grey-water evaporation rig/remote bicycle location system/etc. Hope to see you out there!
