- scyzoryk_xyz 3y agoWoah wouldn’t expect it all the way out there
- wanderingjew 3y agoDale lives in Petaluma; easy commute.
- morcheeba 3y agoFavorite Dale story: I had a booth at the first Maker Faire. As things were closing down on the last night, I was waiting at the front gate for a taxi back to the hotel. Dale saw me, and with no idea of if I was a presenter or an attendee, and no idea of where I was going, offered to drive me wherever I needed to go. Just pure awesome.
- benatkin 3y agoIt's a heckuva lot closer to Berkeley which is a huge hub for free culture.
- jeffbee 3y agoIt’s not as close as East Bay Maker Faire was.
- greesil 3y agoSan Mateo has its own set of problems... But you could take Caltrain there
- musicale 3y agoIt looks like you can take the ferry from SF to Vallejo, but it's still a distance from the venue.
- benatkin 3y agoThere's a terminal at Mare Island, and according to the weekend schedule 3 of the 8 daily trips to Vallejo also go to Mare Island, and 3 of the 8 daily trips to San Francisco also go from Mare Island. If it's big enough maybe they can make special arrangements for it. https://sanfranciscobayferry.com/vallejo-ferry-route https://sanfranciscobayferry.com/vallejo-ferry-route Edit: it would be necessary to make arrangements because the weekend trips are for getting from Mare Island to San Francisco, not the other way around. They should be able to adjust their schedule but I don't know if they will.
