Maker Faire Town Hall Saturates TechShop SF

Maker Faire Town Hall Saturates TechShop SF

We had a massive turnout for this year’s Maker Faire Bay Area’s Town Hall meeting in San Francisco Tuesday evening.

Makers from all over the San Francisco Bay Area and abroad were able to meet with the Maker Faire Crew in-person, establish new connections, and kick the season off with a bang. Also on hand to satiate the frenzied crowd of risk-takers, doers, and makers of things were the folks from The American Grilled Cheese Kitchen in South Park with monster gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches and cups of smoky tomato soup. Yum!
