[freegeek-e-newsletter] Geek Fair Saturday, July 21st! W00t!

[e-newsletter at lists.freegeek.org]

Hi there, faithful newsletter readers.  This is a special edition of our 
quarterly newsletter.

Geek Fair, Free Geek's annual street party celebrating reuse, recycling, our 
volunteers, and like-minded organizations, is coming right up.  In 8 days, to be 
exact!  The first Geek Fair was in 2001, and it was an awesome affair: go to 
http://gallery.freegeek.org/geekfair2003 for some photos of the early days. 
While Geek Fair has grown greatly (we expect ~900 attendees this year), it still 
retains its home-grown flavor.  Go to 
http://www.sito.org/~ed/blogstuff/bttv_FreeGeekFair.mov for a short movie of 
some of the madness of 2005's Geek Fair.

We here at the Geek invite you and all your friends and family to this year's 
event on Saturday, July 21 from 1-7pm at Free Geek.  There'll be a little 
something for everyone: a cool kids' area with reused crafts, great food for 
vegetarians and meat-eaters, a beer garden with comedians to make you laugh, 
music from indie to acoustic, and our thrift store will be open with special 
deals for all of the geeks that inevitably sniff the fair out.  Of course, we'll 
have printer smashing and video gaming as well.  New this year will be a 
juggling performance, an acro-balancing troupe, hard drive shuffleboard, and a 
special panel on the future of technology.  We'll also be open to receive 
hardware donations all day -- what better excuse to bring by that old computer 
that's been lying in the basement?

That's Saturday, July 21 from 1-7pm right in front of Free Geek!  We'll see you 
there!

opportunities!  Send an email to events at freegeek.org and let us know.  We'll 
hook you up with a task to do during the fair, and some free food and drink!
