We would like to thank everybody for attending the Maker Faire in Austin, TX, over the weekend of October 20-21. It was a fantastic success!

The Geek Group was represented by members from many parts of the country. In attendance were:

Texas: Joe DiPrima, Oliver Greaves, Tony Smith, John DiPrima, Craig Newswanger, Pat Sullivan, Seven Sexton and Maida Barbour

Michigan and Indiana: Daniel DeHaan, Nick Miller, Scott Coppersmith, Adam Knight and Lis Bokt

Oklahoma: Dale Gibson, Sam McFadden, Ross Moffet and Myah Savage

We also had two projects on display from members who were unable to attend - the GeekFusor was built by Mike Veldman of Oklahoma and the Wimshurst Machine was built by Todd Lindberg of Michigan.

	The Geek Group was set up in a large part of the Event Barn, in an area dubbed the "Tesla Theatre". The main attraction was a pair of Musical Tesla Coil built by members of the Austin Chapter. It was accompanied by the Pipe Organ built by Craig Newswanger.
Every performance drew a spectacularly large crowd. The coils are quite large - they could easily be heard anywhere in the Event Barn. A signal tone before each performance drew people from all over.
		The event was captured on video and in still images by own our crew. We were also interviewed by several different crews, and countless people took photographs.
Along with the Tesla Coils, there were several smaller displays on hand. The Geek Fusor was popular, as well as the Wimshurst Machine, plasma globes, and a wooden laptop built by Nick Miller.
