making & failing & making again at Open Sauce 2024 🤠

THANKS FOR HAVING ME BACK ‪@opensaucelive‬ WE ALL HAD A GREAT TIME!! I had so much fun and am always surprised at the amount of ideas, knowledge, inspiration and new friends I walk away with. To me, Open Sauce is sort of like a meme convention crossed with a county fair, but more technically it's a science and engineering convention in San Francisco, Lucky for me, they squeeze in a few peculiar creative folks so this year I exhibited Disco Furby, a bunch of my big modular origami and a little bit of crochet :)

Dodeca disaster

Another little known fact about the Cow Palace... I bought my first new computer there (a Pentium II in 1997 -- yes, I was badass) at a computer show. Might just rival the Nirvana thing.

[@lexitayte]

SUCH a great weekend!!!!😍😍😍💕💕💕💕💕💕

This was a fun watch! You have a knack for storytelling and keeping audiences engaged (and spreading goofy little moments throughout). You’re going places. Also, it was a pleasure meeting you and being row neighbors! I appreciated and enjoyed all the little clips you included from other booths around the convention; that was something I didn’t get to do much (explore) as a solo exhibitor this year. You did a great job capturing what it felt like to be there. Keep up the good work. :)

[@JeffGeerling]

Did you know that Nirvana played at Cow Palace? 😂

[@kortdanbert4087]

It was great talking to you at your booth. Hope you were able to find a good set of instructions for that dragonfly.

[@AustinBradley]

To be fair, I got lots of people asking if I’d seen the giant Furby upstairs too😂 So glad Coco and I got to meet you!

[@TimChuma]

Glad you had fun.

[@emmakesthings]

such an amazing vid and cool projects! I loved the furby head this year :)

[@TechWizardForever]

I was hypnotized every time you spun it, great video!

[@JamesMertke]

Amazing recap! So glad I got to try on the disco furby

[@TheNextDecade]

Thanks for including us in the video!!

[@MattGrayYES]

Woo lovely to see you again!

[@Furiac.]

Hey did you know Nirvana played at the Cow Palace in '93? Yeah they played for like an hour and a half.

[@Attoparsec]

I'm so jealous of booths that just need a single trip to carry in!

[@royschreuder]

This looks like an amazing event! And you went all in for it! Love it!

[@andymedrano1802]

Would be nice to go there one day

[@chrisflubacher5021]

Oh nooooo not the Rhombicuboctahedron!! 😢

[@MichaelisanEngineer]

It was nice chatting with you this time Jess! I'll have to bring even more fruit snacks for everyone next time 😂

[@Floobtastic]

FIRST! 🎉
