If you’re going to be in the Bay Area this Sunday, and want to be considered for a maker slot at this year’s Bay Area Maker Faire (May 30-31, 2009), come by The Tech Museum of Innovation in San Jose. The museum is right across the street from where O’Reilly’s ETech Conference is being held, so if you’re there, why not plan to pop over and show us something cool that you make or craft!

Calling All Makers – Auditions for Maker Faire 2009 to be held on Sunday, March 8

In preparation for this year’s event, a team from MAKE magazine (www.makezine.com) will be scheduling 15-minute appointments at The Tech Museum of Innovation in San Jose, March 8th, from noon to 4pm, to preview, and meet with, potential makers, crafters and inventors from the area.

“We’re looking for anyone who has something fun to share, something they’ve made with their hands,” explains Dale Dougherty, Publisher & Editor of MAKE magazine. “It can be practical or impractical–it could be something simple like a creative costume or maybe some handmade jewelry. Or it could be something wild like a bike with ten wheels, or a dog-powered lawn mower. Whatever it is, the more creative and imaginative, the better!”

Audition Details:
When: Sunday, March 8th, 2009 (noon – 4pm)
Where: The Tech Museum of Innovation 201 South Market Street San Jose, CA 95113-2008 (408) 795.6225
Admission: FREE
Contact for Auditions and to schedule a 15-minute appointment: Sherry Huss, (707) 827-7074 or sherry@oreilly.com
