October 2008 Austin Bazaar Bizarre

Guess what? I might be so freakin involved in this years Bazaar Bizarre! Yes, way! I am very excited to hopefully take a much needed trip to Austin to learn from the best, Lisa, from Feto Soap, a fellow HCM member! Though this will be nothing but hard, stinky work, it's going to well worth it.
Bazaar Bizarre began in 2001 in the Boston-area as a hodge-podge of friends and acquaintances cobbling together their handcrafted DIY wares to sell and staging an offbeat entertainment extravaganza. In 2004 the Bazaar Bizarre spread to Los Angeles and Cleveland and in 2006 Make took them under their wing to include the Bazaar Bizarre as part of the Maker Faire in the San Francisco-area every spring. The Bazaars in Boston, Cleveland, Los Angeles and San Francisco happen every year during peak holiday shopping season in December.
