I was there as well, but did not see much of interest. That might be because Paul Swed scooped up the good stuff before I could finish the first pass :) Nice find Paul, hope they settle down for you. Would love to see a post-flea get together and put some faces with names, but I don't know of

Paul, So you were there and I missed you then. It was hard to find anything. Looking in all the corners. Most of its now the monthly repeat stuff that doesn't seem to move. John, You are right it would be a TM5000 3 bay. The color is tek blue, not the brown of the 5000 series. Funny I don't care

Plenty of good stuff in the area; Flour, Area Four, Catalyst, Friendly Toast, Blue Room, CBC, and so on. I live in the area - recent MIT graduate - and would be happy to set something up (though I think my gf's birthday is that day, so maybe not) Andy Bardagjy bardagjy.com On Mon, May 20, 2013

IMO, it would be good to have any gathering place w/in easy walking distance of the flea. Parking in Cambridge is not easy in the best of times. YMMV, -John = Plenty of good stuff in the area; Flour, Area Four, Catalyst, Friendly Toast, Blue Room, CBC, and so on. I live in the

A gentle reminder to keep postings to time-nuts as technical as possible, and on-topic. The occasional mention of upcoming local events or conferences is welcome (it's a great way to build community), but I suggest subsequent details, follow-up, meeting arrangements, and where to get pizza
