I’m currently in San Mateo County of the San Francisco Bay Area in California for Open Sauce, a science and technology convention that I was invited to by my friend Billie-Rae. As part of the special guest itinerary, I had the opportunity and privilege to tour Adam Savage’s workshop, “The Cave.”
Adam Savage is best known for being the host of MythBusters, an educational show during which the cast uses scientific inquiry to test common myths in order to “confirm” or “bust” their truth and validity. Although I didn’t watch full episodes of the show when I was younger, I would sometimes watch highlights of the best moments that people would upload on YouTube.
The workshop was impressive. I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many different objects so well-organized and compacted into such a condensed space. I think I spent a little over half an hour there and did multiple loops around the workshop, and I noticed something new and fascinating every time I revisited an area.
I tried to capture pictures of as many props as possible, in hopes that I can share them with MythBusters fans and they would recognize seeing some of them in prior episodes. Here is a collection of photographs, in no particular order, that I think turned out the best.
















There was a guest book for visitors of the workshop to sign and leave notes. My friend Sam made fun of me for only signing my name, so she left an extra heartfelt message to make up for the both of us.

Open Sauce spans for a total of three days, between June 14-16, so I should have a few more convention blog posts coming soon.
