Inaugural Dorkbot Vancouver a Success !

Wow ! The inaugural Dorkbot Vancouver meeting was fantastic, a great turnout with a highly eclectic group of individuals. Thanks to Alex Beim and Clive Goodinson for starting the Vancouver chapter of Dorkbot and to Jeremy for putting the word out.

There were sculptors, painters, writers, educators, graphic designers, bio-information visualizers, Flash gurus, Processing pros, RFID hand implant briefcase opening people, crazy concert glow ball creators, WI-FI phone network hackers, interactive narrative theorists, tactile computing conceptualists, RFID based spritzing dolphin creators, audio quilt fabricators, corporate branding wizards and me (heavy backpack computational linguistics guy). Quite a few connections to Emily Carr and to the SIAT program at SFU.

Turn out was good, about ~20 total throughout the night, with a good steady dozen or so hanging out all night playing musical chairs.

My only complaint were the acoustics of the Irish Heather's back room... which seemed to instantly convert a persons voice into white noise. A lot of sore throats at the end of the night, but what a night !
