Protospace had a great showing at the Hillhurst Sunnyside Famers’ Market today. I think we made about 15 sets of juggling balls with a profit of $4 from donations, not counting the joy.
That means we’re $4 closer to getting a new space, which bring us $4 closer to a laser cutter, which brings me $4 closer to a custom Settlers game set made of [broken dreams].
But it was all about the joy.

Trash into Toys
This presentation by Arvind Gupta embodies what I’d like to see in Calgary this summer.
Tonight is our first Protospace meeting with the new Board and it’s our job to convince the members that we can have a community outside of a physical space (we are homeless at the end of the week). More importantly, we need to convince non-members (i.e. the rest of Calgary) of the value of doing things the hard way.
How do you build a community of makers when nobody knows (outside of Protospace, that is) what making is? For one, you do what McDonald’s does: enchant the children. Kids deserve an education that’s fun and parents deserve a babysitter that isn’t the television.
If things go well this week, you should see us working the local festival circuit this summer. Hopefully you’ll have found us by following the laughter.
