TechShop RDU Grand Opening Celebration

Our friend and sponsor of Maker Faire:NC 2010, TechShop RDU, is having their grand opening celebration tomorrow (6/5/2010).  All day Saturday they'll be doing machine demonstrations, tours, big discounts on memberships, and serving food.  They suggest that you bring friends, neighbors, family members, coworkers, etc.

TechShop RDU is the same company as TechShop Durham.  The former location didn't quite suit their needs so they moved recently and freshened the name.  It's still the same group of nice makers, hackers, and enthusiasts just in a better building!
