Maker Faire Calgary TOMORROW!

Hey! Are you in Calgary? Are you near Calgary? Is your name Calgary? If you answered yes to any of the first two questions (but not the third one - that's just plain weird), then you might be interested in hearing about the Mini Maker Faire that's happening here in the city tomorrow.
