Just came from a talk called "Gold Pancake Monster with Sweets Orbiting Around it" and, really, you can't get a more intriguing name for a talk than that!

The 10-year-old Blender artist gave some great tips for using this 3D rendering software.

BarCampGR is getting started! The event kicks off at 5:00, but feel free to join us any time now if you want to pitch in and help set up. That's the BarCamp way, after all!

Notes for tonight: Opening session will be in the Bytwerk Theater downstairs this year, and will also be available to be scheduled for talks on our grid. The room layout goes back to something more familiar to Campers by tomorrow.

Also: be sure to make time to join us at the after party at Uccello's Ristorante just down Beltline after the last talk at 9:30 PM. Hang on to your badge to join everyone on the patio for free refreshments and live music!
