I joined the brilliant ladies of
Fakework Design this weekend to play Living Trophies for the
Madagascar Institute Chariot Races at
Maker Faire New York. We spent all week grooming our golden stallions (and all morning grooming ourselves!) for the sake of adding more glamor to the ensuing
mayhem. Power tools and bike-medic field operations met gold spandex and pillow stuffing for fabulous mobile costumes.
Our troupe was just one piece of a wondrous carnival full of
jet-propelled rides, and a panoply of chariots including a giant squid named the
Kracken that got caught in the nets of
Swimming Cities, a fire-spitting
raven (literally!),
mutant bikes, and
sundry other wheeled objects. I wish I could tell you more about the rest of the fair, but there was so much, and it was so easy to get distracted.
