Got a comic you love & more people need to read? Just like the penny jar: bring a comic, take a comic! Comic, TPB, 'zine...bring something to the reading pile, Leave with something new & shiny!
An in person event where previously-signed-up participants will exchange items they've created! These can be hand painted/sculpted/draw/crocheted/knitted/etc, or they can be design objects that have been printed through a secondary source such as glasses/t-shirts/pins/stickers/temp tattoos/etc.
If you did not sign up previously, you're still welcome to come and see all the cool things other people have made. If by some chance you made cool things yourself that you'd like to exchange with others, that's cool too, bring them with you!
Want to make your own clothes but don't want to make costly mistakes? Use free and open source software to make your custom fit patterns! This workshop will teach you how! You will leave this workshop with your custom fitted digital pattern. Attendees should bring a laptop, but if they don't have a laptop they can have a pattern emailed to them. Attendees will pair up and measure each other with tape measures.
We will attempt (and probably fail) to build a Rube Goldberg / Chain Reaction machine in only two hours. If you've got supplies or pre-built components, bring them with! (Nothing hot, sharp, heavy, or messy, please.) If not, you can still help, take videos, or just spectate.

Bring a journal and writing implements (Wendy can provide a very few extra) and explore a challenge or goal in a quiet, organized way view guided writing prompts (plus! receive a few gentle nudges to do the thing).
Pavel will bring several (non-jigsaw) physical puzzles from his collection, and you are encouraged to do the same! We'll lay everything out on tables and just have fun playing with them for a while! All skill levels are totally welcome!
Pavel has constructed a lot of Japanese-style logic puzzles (e.g., Sudoku, KenKen, Kakuro, Masyu, etc.) and now you can learn how to do it too! We'll co-solve one or more puzzles together and then collaboratively create a brand new one from scratch, right in front of your eyes! Then it gets really fun: you will each get the chance to create your very own puzzle, on your own, all starting from a common seed provided by Pavel!
