Last night, Mr. Sainz and I made a midnight run to Austin and back to pick up another pinball machine: Sinbad. With a little luck it should be playable by the time of the party.
I will be at DMS in a few hours to keep the momentum/cleanup/prep going.

Hey neighbor… have you heard of the Dallas Makerspace? We are a large 16,000sqft facility in which you can learn how to create anything you can dream up (and get paid to teach others!). Our facility offers everything from old-school blacksmithing classes to sculpting to 3D printing to ceramic pottery to flying drones to pinball machines to printing on canvas… you name it, you can make it! For $50 per month or $60 for a family membership you will gain unlimited access to our 24/7 facility and enjoy all of the benefits of putting your creativity to the test. Maybe even discover a new career path? The Dallas Makerspace is where it all happens.
Come join us for a free open house party and see all that we have to offer next Saturday, January 24th from 10am until well after sunset. An eye-opening experience, guaranteed! http://www.dallasmakerspace.org

I’m now hosting a “Squishy Circuit” demo in the Electronics Room from 10-2ish for any interested kids (or adults!). It’s a demo of building simple blinking circuits with special conductive and insulating dough that’s like play-doh. Come on over for some fun!

Monday night @ 6:30-8:00 @ DMS there will be a debrief for the Grand Opening.
Everyone is invited and welcome.
The idea is to have a fast and positive conversation to capture everything that worked or did not work for the event.
The end goal is to create a working document for the next event to make it BETTER.
If you cannot attend the meeting and you have feedback, good or bad, please send an email to [email protected].
Thanks,
Steve

The Grand Opening was very successful.
For everything each of you did - Thank You!!
The estimate is that we had about 500 people at DMS yesterday, both members and guests.
We had 15 new members sign up. With more to come.
Thanks again for your hard work, DMS looked great.
