The Handcar Regatta

Living in the North Bay means I get lots of exposure to cool steam-punky stuff, including the Handcar Regatta in Santa Rosa.  For train lovers and do-it-yourselfers, this is the coolest festival and race- all of hand built cars!
I worked the Make booth for most of the event, but got to take in a few trains zipping around the grounds.

And I also got inspired by this lady and her homemade hat made out of a paper cup.  Another project to add to the list!
