Last week, Eric over at ExtremeBoredom.net told me that the Mike and Key Flea Market was happening over the weekend, so after a quick non-planning session, we woke up at 4AM, packed Schuyler’s car (not pictured) full of Nanostations and headed down to Puyallup to show the local HAMs the cheap, unlicensed way to do a long distance data link.   Our last minute planning actually got us a great table next to the girl scout cookies,  and Schuyler’s giant pyramid of NS2s got us a lot of questions.    

I didn’t get a chance to check out the whole show or buy anything fun (I wanted to pick up an oscilliscope for no particular reason) because I was too busy at the booth and slightly dazed from my head cold,  but Schuyler got a box of Metricom hardware and a Tower Beacon (his neighbors will hate him soon).      I did get to meet a lot of new people,  put some faces to email/irc nicks, and get the word out about Metrix, so I’m calling it a successful show, and I look forward to next year.    I might even get my ticket in advance.
