I’ve placed an order for all the parts on Amazon and hopefully everything will get here on time. I’m getting nervous about the shipping estimate for the CR2032 batteries. Anyone know a local source for a large quantity of those?
My list of volunteers right now is:

If anyone wants to come down and help teens make LED throwies and talk about how cool Hive13 is, let me know. Our time is just the afternoon, so 1:00p to 4:00p.
Hmm, did I say there will be cool authors there? ( John Scalzi? Jasper Fforde? … I don’t know who cool authors are these days… )
We are allowed to set up the day before (Friday), but I’m thinking our setup will be so simple, that we can probably just get there at 12:00 or something the day of. Meet up at the Hive beforehand.
I have a meeting with the BBTB people tomorrow morning, so I can probably update again tomorrow.
I’m planning to take our banner and some pamphlets. Anything else I should take that’s easy, impressive and/or book related? ( I know, I know, I am really debating bringing the DIYbookscanner. )
MCM Electronics in Springboro (exit 38 off I-75—38 miles north of the Ohio River) has 5-packs for $2.99, or $2.69 if you buy 10 or more (50+ batteries).
Yeah, I thought the ones I ordered were Prime, but I must have overlooked something.
I would need like 200. I will keep MCM in mind in case I need to run up there Friday.
I’m tempted to just Prime 200 more and get them ASAP just to be safe, but then I’d have a big pile of them to spare afterwards. I guess we could find something to do with them.
Did you order those batteries from the link I suggested? I was similarly nervous when I ordered them on a tuesday before the mini maker faire, but they arrived by Friday.
If they don’t arrive, I have a large quantity. I don’t know if it is 200, but it’s probably more than 100.
This sounds like something that would have also been good for the learn to solder thing. I guess we should get working on the next batch.
