    Good luck with your store guys. Although most like-minded people can find these products on the internet, hopefully this exposure will open up the fascinating maker world to other people who pass by or would not normally use the internet.

    GREAT IDEA! Sometimes it’s fun to see things with your own eyes and touch them. It puts the fun back in shopping.

    I’ll be there next weekend. I’ll make a day out of hanging out in BKLYN… go to Blue Bottle (ah-mazing coffee) and hit the MakerBot Botcave store. I’ll probably pickup a gift or two, and definitely something for myself ;)
