Dammit. I work in DC and live 15 mins outside by car (Alexandria, VA). But this weekend is slammed with the completion of a science project my daughter has been working on for months. Seems unlikely could make it.

I'd never even heard of this. Thanks for making me aware.

We will be there, afterall! Heading in now. Trying to avoid that 10K race. Wearing red short sleeve shirt and jeans. With wife and 11yo daughter.

Great! Actually I’m wearing a white NeXT t-shirt and have a PocketCHIP hanging out of my pocket. Still on the drive.

Right now my twitter timeline is full of tweets today sent while we were at the #SciFest in DC. If anyone's interested. Will be putting up some more photos via Flickr tonite also, I think.

I’ve uploaded a small gallery of photos and a few short videos of today’s visit to the USA Science & Engineering Festival 2018 in DC.

Hi Blake!  I think I have a photo of the back of your head!  We were in line at the Mars VR exhibit and saw you and the fam walking towards the "blimp".  Tried calling toward you but there was too many people, and we were too close to the front of the line to jump out, haha.  ;)  Hope you had fun!

I have a few photos also but we were mostly doing "rides" and shows today.  Here's a pic of me and my gf doing the VR stuff.  Also, the machines crunched some numbers and decided my future career should be a pilot.  I better start building my flight simulator.  Don't think my experience shooting at the EA headquarters in F/A-18 Interceptor counts for much, though.  ;)


Hah nice! Sorry I didn't hear. We had fun tho -- looks like you did, too! I couldn't find the Tesla booth tho.

If you still have that back of the head photo, I'd enjoy seeing it. :-) Cheers!
