GH@MK.com aka Nashville Meetup - FINISHED, PICTURES UP

[slip84]

I need a little help getting there.  The plane ticket price is making me doubt. 

This isn't a plea for money, though, I would hand deliver anything you wanted to pay from me, I'm just having sticker shock.

Such as? I'm listening...

[tjcaustin]

I dunno, just need to hear people outside my head say vacation money isn't wasted, I guess?

If you mean stuff for sale, there's cable stuff that I can make before hand and the things in my classified that I just bumped.

[slip84]

Ever been to Nashville? It's a cool city!

I'll have a look at your stuff. I always need new stuff.

I haven't.  Plus there's mashby, hashby, cba and halverso.  I think I listed everything I'm selling on gh now other than the headphone amp/dac.

[slip84]

Think you could turn out a cable for a pair of Sennheiser HD 600 before the meetup? I can PM you with some questions if you prefer.

[tigersharkdude]

Would anybody be interested in a wrist rest for a QFR? It may fit other TKL boards. If so, I will give it away to someone at the meet.

WOW! My roomy and me were just talking about getting him a rest for his QFR! He's been using mine since I'm away. I would love to surprise him with one!

Ill be sure to bring it along

Probably not, I don't have any ends at the moment and it would probably take too long to get them shipped.

MK.com also has PowerWheels. Perhaps we can setup a PowerWheels race in the parking lot....then we can nurse our wounds over ice cream.

Also I don't think the Girlshark has been this far south before

Hm and you would like my current crop of headphones and my new all purpose dac/amp and my awesome new camera.  Seriously, it's like night and day from my canon.  I'm just being weird with money right now since I had to have that tooth fixed and my car, too.

It'll get you out of Texas for a day or two... isn't that enough incentive?? 

[mashby]

Delicious food, good friends, wall-to-wall keyboards and you can write it all off as a business trip since you're visiting customers. What's not to like?

Interesting! I almost chose that hotel to stay in too. Maybe I should bring my gear and try and stop over at some point...

In other news, I've booked a hotel so if you are coming in from out of town and staying the night, please let me know. Perhaps we could all get rooms in the hotel .

[tjcaustin]

Hm, I'd already be bringing all my stuff...

[tjcaustin]

For those going to Nashville, if you want a cable or a blue duck mini, get in touch with me by about noon tomorrow and I'll bring it to keycon with what I'm bringing for mashby and CBA

[CPTBadAss]

Are you bringing me all your love TJ?

I filled out le form provided by mashby. I can't stay to go downtown at night bc I'm traveling on sunday for business.

It's a shame I'm not fully moved into my new place or I'd bring my alps collection to the meet.  I'm only bringing my 55g type-s and proto brobot.

I believe it's colloquialism is brototype. It's a 3D printed version of a v2.1 topre Brobot by Brocaps. Just a cool little Brobot history in the flesh. I'll be sure to bring some v2.1 and v2.2 Brobots as well.

[00zeRO]

Just wait till you all see the showroom...

[CPTBadAss]

00ZerO and JoshMK, are you guys joining us for the morning and lunch? Just curious.

[00zeRO]

I won't be able to, sorry.

SIGH. What good are you anyways Akimbro? I want more Alps

[tigersharkdude]

Ill be bringing my QFR, personal wristrest and a wristrest to giveaway, and possibly the collection of artisan caps (possible trades?) .. anybody interested in seeing the monitor stand that goes with the wrist rest?

[tjcaustin]

Just packed car.  Bringing:

TH900
he400i
sr225i
k712pro
jh13pro

LH geek out 450

In an alternate universe, I would also have two hhkb with novatouch stems and cherry doubleshot caps on them.  Not bringing them looking all stock, though, since akimbro is bringing a 55g hhkb.

Thanks for the awesome privilege of typing on lubed switches, Topre, and old school capacitive switches. I was glad to see such excitement for the Kswitch, (the new Ergo Clears without the work - thus saith CaptBA).

Thanks for putting up with the ramblings and musings of a reformed geek. Although I will have to say that when I touched CaptBA's new old purple sparkle powder coated marvel, I instantly went back to when I first typed on keyboards back in the early 80's. I felt like quoting Darth Vader: 'I [feel] a presence. A presence I haven't felt since...'

In two words, the meet up was: Totally Radical!

Since i get to stay an extra night in Nashville for free, I'll have an album of pics up late tomorrow or Tuesday
