Anyone here familiar with Grand St.? If you aren't, you probably want to be. The site is a platform for buying and selling independent hardware and tech - there are Arduinos, Raspberry Pies (get it?), and a lot more open-source (or not) hardware.
To get to the point, there is a Grand St. pop-up shop happening the weekend of April 19-20 in NYC where people can play with products, discover new things, and be involved in interactive demos. The element14 community seems like one that would be interested in this sort of event, so to keep it short and sweet, RSVP at http://grandst.splashthat.com. Tell your friends and gear up. Hope to see you all there.
