[dorkbotpdx-blabber] Wacky Willys

[Tom Higgins]

I know he has been having a bit of trouble making things work but
according to the web site they are still open, mostly

http://www.wackywillys.net/
"The store will be closed Saturday June 17th & Saturday June 24th 2006. Also
beginning Tuesday, June 27th our hours will change to 10:30am-6:30pm,
Tuesday-Saturday."

If they closed it would be a sad sad day for the mad scientists of the area.

Ah-ha! When I was out there last the parking lot was full of
construction vehicles and the interior of the building was gutted and
crawling with hard-hatted workers. You could see the Wacky Willy's
signs in the parking lot but it looked pretty well gone.

Thanks for doing the detective work. Will definitely be taking a trip
up there on Monday.

Musing on a possible dorkbot event......

A project theme is set
A budget limit is set
Teams are let loose in Wacky Willys for an hour
Teams build project
Teams show off project
Much celebrating

Sort of an Iron Chef/Junkyardwars/(insert reality tv show that is
slightly dorkish)
