Roboexotica, monochrom's cocktail robot fest, in SF


Scott Beale reminds us that...
Roboexotica USA, a celebration of cocktail robots, takes place from 8pm-2am this Saturday, May 10th [that'd be today] at Space, 354 5th Street in San Francisco.
I won't be there myself, but I'll look forward to the tweets, vloggage, and flickr coverage likely to pour forth like so many mecha-margaritas.

Update: Scott Beale has photo and videos. Johannes from monochrom reminds us that no mention of the event would be complete without "our friends at Shifz.org who are our Roboexotica co-organizers now for nearly a decade!"

To be precise: Roboexotica is a collaboration between Shifz and monochrom...
and please consider to go to Vienna in December.
Roboexotica will celebrate its 10th anniversary!

A cheerful robot uprising! Prost!

Heh. Really appreciate that note to TSA. Had my own experience shipping robots to other countries via airline. Only my robot was made of PVC and filled up with BBs, which made it look like a pipe bomb on an X-ray. Fortunately they didn't damage anything, and I got stuff taped back up with really cool 'TSA inspected' tape.

Hooray for everybody who tweaked and moved and lit and served stuff. It was a fab show. I also got to help bust up my first belligerent guest altercation (girl's gotta have a hobby).
