All righty. I’ve been stressing a bit worrying about how to package parts, and waffling a bit on how exactly I wanted to partially assemble things.
I keep worrying about breaking parts in rough handling by airline baggage handlers.
Then a few minutes ago I had either a brain fart or an epiphany of sorts. I’m stopping at a makerspace on the way in. If a plastic part gets broken or whatever we can print another.
I’m going to pack up all the parts as best I can into the hard case and my checked bag and off we go. That may be a dumb move- but I also realized that if my batteries get confiscated (I was also stressing about that) or even if my luggage goes missing, with those tablets in my carry-on bag, a few community members and a solid day at a makerspace I’d still end up with something to show and talk about. Talking to and meeting the maker community is, after all, why I’m going.
That decision plus getting Aza’s tablets in hand have me oddly calm.
So, now I’m focusing on getting everything packed and ready and keeping an eye on the airline schedules.
I need to follow up on guest tickets, so those of you who got a DM before may get another. They had already printed the exhibitor passes and I’m not even certain I will get one. But I’ll still get event tickets for each of you. If I need an email or other info you’ll get a DM from me probably tomorrow.
or perhaps it’s missing a plastic part or two. Easy enough to deal with if so.
