FooFest, Providence RI

FooFest was a considerable improvement over last weekends Seafood Festival. Although we were only there about three hours we both enjoyed the outing. We headed home just as the afternoon sprinkles began.

Cuban Revolution
 We arrived a bit "early," as in all the vendors where still setting up. Somehow we managed to just walk in and nobody questioned us...we ended up getting a bit of a preview of the layout of the fest. After exiting through the entrance we went in search of breakfast/lunch. Fortunately as we walked around the corner Cuban Revolution came into view. Started off the day with moche latte with Cuban expresso, mmmmhhhhhhmmmmm!

Upon exiting to the right, you are facing the back of the community art space, As220, that is sponsoring FooFest. This is what you see:

 Rhode Island Mini-Maker Fair

Stopped in the mini-maker fair on our way back to the main festival street. I can now pick the lock on a pair of handcuffs- hopefully a skill I will never need!  We saw some cool 3D cutouts, LED displays, and Loyd's favorite, synths.  My favorite find:

Yes, Dana, it is an LED jacket that is controlled by the Hula Hoop!

Speaking of 3D Printing...
 The current artist in residence at As220 created this Viking ship using 3D printing, silk screening and mixed media. It's quite the ship!

A Parent's Most Fervent Wish!

I think this says it all....

On the Indoor Stage
We happened upon the barbershop quartet, Generations. Enjoy!

 We were also treated to the Milkman Band as they roamed the street.

In the middle of it all was the Anarchist BookFair, complete with passal of Wobblies spreadin' the word.

International Workers of the World Unite!
