DEVO Shirt Contest
For a very brief interruption to Renee’s awesome Doctor Who week, I wanted to mention that Woot is hosting a pretty rad DEVO band shirt contest right now! I’m partial to this Methane, Benzene, 1-Butane, Cyclohexane, DEVO design by dirtdirt, but there are dozens of cool entries to check out.
And the prizes are impressive, to say the least…
Our winning design will be hand-picked by DEVO themselves, with second place being chosen by our usual Derby voting and third place being selected by the editorial staff here at Shirt.Woot.
In addition to the usual Shirt.Woot payout, DEVO is upping the ante with fabulous prizes:
1st Place (as chosen by DEVO themselves)
- 2 tickets to a DEVO show of your choice in the upcoming Fall tour and a meet & greet with the band
- $1,000 spendin’ money (on top of the usual winning payout) courtesy of Shirt.Woot to help get you there and
back
- Signed DEVO merch
- Limited Edition 7-inch record
- Full DEVO discography on your choice of CD or vinyl
- One Jumpsuit, Energy Dome, and Glasses ensemble
Shirt entries have been closed but there’s still plenty of time to vote for your favorite, who will be the lucky second-place winner!

Geek Crafts at Maker Faire!
If you are in the Bay Area (or can get there this weekend), don’t miss the magnificent Maker Faire! There is way too much going on to try to list here, but check out their list of makers and weekend schedule for tons of details. Here are a couple of things I’m most excited about…
Friend of geekcrafts Bonnie Burton is teaching a rad craft demo: make a paper-bag puppet of Admiral Akbar from her new Star Wars Craft Book. I went to her Yoda doll demo at Maker Faire a couple of years ago and it was amazing!
Meanwhile, Particle Zoo will have her excellent subatomic particle plushies for sale in the Bazaar Bizarre section. Her motto: It has to be scientifically accurate, and it has to be cute. (Thanks Rachel!)
