Rainbow Fun Run, Chicago

Be prepared, even if there is negative 20 degree weather (literally), the trip will go on.

Though I would recommend it, I believe that those purchasing it need to have more info on it before purchasing. it is a great way to taste some things but some of the trucks seemed 'put out' to have to do the tastings. one truck offering mac and cheese (though you could see it was not from a box) tasted like it was mass made with a powdered cheese sauce with a handful of real cheese mixed in it. like they did this to please the organizers but did not want to do it.

Very informative and inspiring presentation on 3D printing in the Garden Room of the Montclair Bistro restaurant. The only hitch was that there was only seating set up for about 25% of the people attending this 1-1/2 hour event. I had to call the front desk of the restaurant to find out where they kept the extra chairs. A few of us then set up the chairs ourselves a few minutes before the presentation started. Even then, about a dozen late-comers still wound up standing in the back.

This was really just a lecture about 3D printing, with a question and answer period. I'm not sure why we should have to pay for an extended introduction to the capabilities of the 3D printers. As for the logistics of the event proper: There was insufficient seating for the crowd and the pitiful array of appetizers was depleted and not restored long before I arrived.
