Marie’s Bday Pinata – Office Space Printer Replica
For Marie's birthday we made a custom pinata that closely resembled the printer from Office Space that got beatdown, if you aren't familiar with Office Space or need a reminder of the printer beatdown

Open Shop Nights
This is just a reminder that EMS is open on Tuesday nights and Friday nights from 6:00PM to 8:00PM. We are open for these times for non-members to come check us out, meet folks, hang out, and work on projects. Please feel free to stop by and see what's up! We are a friendly bunch and we aim to make cool things happen and learn from each other. Also make sure to keep an eye on our calendar to keep abreast with other non-regular EMS events! We hope to see you at the shop soon.
Now open Tuesday nights!
Eugene Maker Space is pleased to announce that we will now have open hours on Tuesday nights from 6:00PM to 8:00PM. This has been added to our calendar. These will be considered regular open hours where non members can stop by for a visit or members who do not yet hold keys can come down to the shop and get some work done. Another side effect of this is that there will always be someone at EMS on Tuesday nights now, so the shop will be a bit busier during the week. Our Friday night open houses are still going to happen every week as well.
If you are a key holding member of Eugene Maker Space, and you would like to volunteer to open EMS for one night per week/month/whatever, please email rick (at) eugenemakerspace (dot) com and let me know. I will work out the details with you and I will get it on the EMS calendar. The more nights per week we are open, the more chances we have to increase our membership and build our community into something great. I'd love to see EMS as a place where you can go any night of the week and know that someone will be there working on an interesting project.
Hope to see you around the shop!
Post Grand Opening Thoughts
Thanks so much to everyone who came out to our grand opening event to support us! We had a fantastic time and we hope you will come again. Remember, we have open house nights every Friday night from 6:00PM to 8:00PM so feel free to drop by and see what we are up too. Or, bring a project and get some work done. We will be uploading photos from the event soon, but for now, we hope you enjoy this time lapse video of the grand opening event.
