Introduction/Definition/etc
Another year of NoVAMakerFaire,
my first at GMU, and wonder how/
if it has changed?
Body
Original Text
LayOut
Some indoor, some outdoor
JohnSon Center
Main Floor
Storm Troopers
Star Trek attire
Women Bakers
turns out to be a con type thing,
literally
NoVASystemic2017
Cups, Green, Yellow (aren't those GMU's Colours?
as a FeederSchool, does NVCC use them too?
some stuff in the middle too crowded to get in there,
for me with stuff, and InLineMobilityAid...
Elevator
ExpandAble Folding Wagon
Missed that AldiCantFind2019
after AldiGardenLineGardenUtilityCart2019
came out, and no $ so not gotten,
bummer, $10 HandCart
x2 suffice?
Take Apart the Bike/MobilityAid
if not allowed in and carry around parts on the
HandCart?
Elevator Waiting
a woman who was to give a talk
but late, needed to be there an hour early,
and parking, big campus, walking, etc
And high heels going up stairs,
to the Third (or 5th?) Floor?
Gave her this WebSite addy,
and said I might write something about
it, but lost in negativity?
Positive: Elevators appear after others leave,
and some peace and quiet in the meantime?
Storm Troopers
and woman
guy with a camera
Not in FanDom, so don't keep up with HollyBollyWood(s)
and not my Gen, so likely more from the TriQuiel?
(3 part series spanning decades?
CarrieFishersWishfulDrinkingAtLincoln
There's.Something.about.Carrie.Fisher.in.Wishful.Drinking.txt
was an original, everything else, a copy/
facsimile?
Basement
walked around back, looking for a downstairs
entrance to the BookStore,
nothing, below ground and somehow
CataCombs (sp???)
Unlike a shopping mall with a FoodCourt
Registration Desk
Make your own Con TShirt
I seem to recall mentioning that somewhere,
fairly common Help the Homeless
a kid designs and competes?
other kid activities too,
TheBikeHouse
I did my own sweatshirt
with their block of design,
for a custom one,
though just what printed on,
but not a lot of use in the summer heat(s)
unless someone were to dump me in
an air conditioned space, and need warming up,
and/or Touring, overnight, wet, etc...
CustomInk
but don't know if it cost money,
(program has some colours on the table names,
but green not used, just RedWhiteAndBlue?
and the line was long,
aggressive cameras around, etc...
Big room,
seemed crowded
FoodTrucks
Many out back,
behind the Library
past the BlackSmiths
(Glass Blowing)
but up the hill
on the way out...
Lemonade w Frozen BlueBerries
I'll be back?
I remembered the hassle of getting
my food scale out,
stop and in the heat,
and saw other bikers leaving,
so kept going thinking i could/might
catch up with them...
all the while
BadBunny2019 ears,
and Train Whistle
and KidBikeHorn/GenericSqueeker
when small children went by,
so might have amused a few,
will see...
Modified Text
What's Missing?
Lost my Garmin Activity Tracker,
GarminVivoFit3
had it when it got my blue wrist band,
didn't have it leaving,
seem to recall a kid saying
you dropped something,
usually a taunt to get someone to turn around,
and not talking to kids, directly
without parents present,
which may have been the case...
Battery gone down,
was going to go look for one,
and try to find on cheap,
but would have to open it up
to know what battery type it takes...
As not finding online much, and too busy,
MemorialDay2019 about the time it stopped
working, and to carry around when not working,
occasionally falling off,
but wonder when/why
this time? Taking backpack/bags off?
bumped?
wrist band going on?
so find it?
Reward? Not likely
data sensitive?
or just lost more than the cost of the Con
and not know and tired/ warm/ late/
beyond my bedtime before i even arrived...
What Can Be Found?
Eliteism?
In Crowd?
Clique? (sp?)
Money Required?
UpScaling Milk Jugs,
but Legos get expensive int he hundreds to thousands
of units to build a building,
Building 2.0 or similar, not made out of Legos
though there may be plans for a TinyHouse
and other stuff with printed, as going to space,
and build a structure there, plans and generic
materials, lot of filament, reusing, etc...
What Can Not Be Found?
me, during most of it
How To Analyze?
Lenses
Noob
If not in your decade+ of these,
new to each school year becoming
eligible, interested, assigned, etc...
I told various people along the way
People in Store1
Store2
PeopleAtFarmersMarket
Biking family
that day, and maybe they would go?
Assumptions
Same stuff different year/ and place?
Transit easier?
Parking cost(s)?
Driving required?
Sunday Buses, and takes an hour wait,
and then maybe an hour time,
not hassled much about brining in my wheel chair
equivalent,
also shopping cart, as had been doing errands along the day
and found some things I had been looking for,
not seen, etc
Was going to donate hand sanitizer,
but forgot about it, under the sweating?
nervousnes about entry
at which point the young lady
said she saw enough,
and gave me one...
I didn't fit the categories very well,
and said as much
and that I could write it up badly,
that they wouldn't let me in,
which kinda seems like the environment,
Easier to Ask ForgiveNess than Permission,
pointed to the two hovering/ helicoptering
over the front registration, downstairs,
different shirts, etc...
Time Limits
Costs
$13 to get in?
if register on site,
family plans
Students, Staff, allowed in free,
but other categories exist,
Volunteers
Food
Concessions
found a photo on the gMaps
of cakes/ pies, etc
and reported it as Too Sweet,
will see what happens,
gJoke?
g being one of the sponsors,
as well as TedXTysons
so MetaTEDOnS2019
may not be well received,
and the upper crust(s) of Tech,
Entertainment, and Design?
plus stealing/ taking idears,
and photos, the photo policy
done aggressively by someone
i've seen / encountered and don't
really like, and probably had problems with
putting the program over my face
and he "already took it",
thinks he's in charge,
but on state property,
not High School, Middle School,
County, so will see what happens with that,
exclusion by outing people for fun and profit,
is that a SafeSpace tactic?
and/or more ExClusionAry?
For Sale?
Too Expensive,
even the clearance stuff in the bookstore
$20 shorts, not cargo,
fairly thin, big size
$35? discounted hoodie
odd and out of season,
likely a girls?
Maybe take to
since RacismAnonymous
and the challenge to have and wear a
Howard University T/Hoodie
wondered about trying others,
maybe that's the next gig?
Represent and see if fit in,
Here, There, ElseWhere?

Conclusion
Summary of experience or similar
Didn't bother, nor make the most of it,
as very tired by the time i got there,
late, and everything,
shopping/ errands along the way,
and almost trapped/ waylaid similar to
ReelAbilitiesFilmFestival2019
part way out and demoralized,
messed with, GallowsHumour?
MosaicFarmersMarket2018
retaliation?
more Hate2017
and
AlFromAlDiSaysNoPhotosOfMerch2019
this time no Holds when the district/regional
gut had done it, and comments about using his
name in vain... Know it's possible,
and some friendly but attitude approaching
ridicule and lost another thing,
Cost of Doing Business
ridicule about a messed up box,
It Feel,
and likely fired?
Police directing in between,
and commented about where i might be going,
Hooters was gone,
and more importantly the Discount Bakery
PeppeRidgeFarms,
but i digress, it was warm,,
not looked up exact address
even the bike store
and they were outside,
wouldn't give me the time of day,
wanted help with his brakes,
turned out to be another block out,
and snobbishness
Farmer's Market in City Hall/
Saturday and Sundays,
near court,
walk thru that,
didn't want to take the time
to get out a scale,
had just gotten an
AldiAmbianoSousVide2019
for $25
looks like an immersion blender,
but heating, precise,
and did my first thing recently
risking hard boiled eggs
in a WhirlPool/ Jacuzzi
type thing 165 degrees
for 1-1.5 hours,
and will see,
technology and a recent lib book
shows what that device is,
good choice,
and someone trying to get it from me,
offering $100?
Not for Sale, new Gadget,
even for an OverDraft $35
and/or other late fees,
MINE...
