Hey, are you busy May 3-4?
Yep. It’s official. Makersfield is coming to the Bay Area Maker Faire.
It seems these silly little noisy tubes of ours piqued enough interest to get us an invite. Thing is, none of us really are keen on the name Electric Rainstick. We’ve kicked around a few options, but nothing that really catches us. Got any suggestions? Email one of us, or leave a comment or something. If we use a suggestion, we’ll even give ya one for free.
Getting invited to Maker Faire is a pretty big deal for us. It’s pretty funny that it’s nothing to do with the print shop. But don’t worry, there will be plenty of print stuff to come.
So I guess maybe I should talk a bit about where we are. We’ve sold about half the earmarked Art Of The Month subscriptions (AotM, pronounced Autumn). It’s been a tremendous help on our end, and we love each and every one of you. We’ve still got a few left, and we’ll be closing subscription availability at the end of the month, so if you’re interested in getting in on the AotM action, clicky the logo below:
We’re hard at work on the first installment for AotM - we know you’re gonna dig it, and we should soon have something to show you all soon.
Also, new site design. You like it? We hope so.
Busy busy bees. More Later.

I would like to make one of those electric rainsticks to show along with my windharp at makers faire (if i have time to make one). Can you share some of the details of the pickup?

Actually, these don’t work like traditional rain sticks at all. The pickups are contact mics tho. I don’t have good kit instructions ready yet, but if you like I can just bring you one at the faire.
They aren’t terribly complicated, just a little complicated to explain.
