Remember this post from CCM list? I paste it into my work calendar and now it's here! I was thinkin we could gather at some north side bagel shop or somethin in the morning and then bike down to Hyde Park to go to this. Someone probably already has this idea, but I'm not up to speed in reading all the posts. So we can join forces with other riders, too - just let me know.

Here's the OP -

Hi fun and wonderful people at critical mass,

MAKE Magazine is looking for people in Chicago making cool and
interesting things. Having just lived there, I thought of the critical
mass folks first, of course!

The editors at MAKE Magazine are organizing an event at the Museum of
Science and Industry to showcase Chicago-area makers. It's called
American Maker. We are looking for participants - people who want to
"show-and-tell" what they are making. - For example, your interesting,
innovative bikes....

Can you please get the word out that this is going on? It a great
opportunity for you and everyone connected to CCM.

Read more about the event below:

----------------------------

On Saturday, September 20th at the Museum of Science and Industry, the
editors of MAKE will be organizing a "show-and-tell" program called
American Maker. The goal of American Maker is to showcase grassroots
innovation from Chicago-area makers. We're looking for makers who are
working on cool projects and whose work has the potential to benefit
others. We believe that makers are a leading force in grassroots
innovation -- where individuals decide to create something new.

American Maker is a friendly competition and the winner will be
awarded a $500 cash prize plus publication in a future issue of MAKE.

If you'd like to participate and show what you make at this event, you
can register at:

You are also welcome to come on Saturday, September 20th and join us
in the audience. American Maker is part of Lab Fest, which kicks off
Science Chicago at the Museum of Science and Industry. American Maker
will run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on September 20th. Admission to the
museum is free on that day.

We hope to see you there!

Cheers,
The MAKE Team
