[CPTBadAss]

I'm sort of new here but I'd love to come! I am nearby and I've intended to visit this store for a while now; any weekend probably works fine for me.

Come out anyways! Meetups are great for testing switches so you can refine your keyboarding tastes . And hanging out!

You make a good argument.  I will keep it in mind, lol.

[tigersharkdude]

I am very much still planning on being here, but I may be having surgery around that time so I don't know how my schedule will be

Take care of your health first but it'd be great if you could show up .

Just make it easier on all of us and show up .

[slip84]

Meetup in Nashville? Cool. That's my back yard! I'll probably be there... unless I'm not here. Time to set this thread to watch.

Ah, don't worry about him. We can eat the chocolate and laugh at him. Assuming I make I'll even buy you a drink if you like!

What if I wanted to buy a couple keyboards and a super expensive amp and a new pair of headphones, huh?!  Are you saying I should *wait* on one of those things?

The horror. 

Though, it would be kinda nifty to bring a novatouch and my hhkb with me and swap stuff at the meet up.

I'm saying you're a tease.

[00zeRO]

October 4 probably works best for me.

Hmmmm... 9/20 is when my school starts (yes I know it is late). Sadly I don't think there is anyway this can work out.

You guys should totally move it a week earlier just for me

So I have 10/4 and 9/13 as dates that people like. I was leaning towards 9/20 and 9/27 personally. Anyone else have preferences in terms of the date? ...Or want to come hang out?

9/13 or 9/20 will work for me. 9/27 and 10/4 is no good...and being that I will likely be the lone representative from MK...take 'em or leave 'em, lol.

[CPTBadAss]

Hehe, with that note, we'll say the meetup is on 9/20/14. The date works for 00zerO, the guy hosting us at MK.com and mashby. Start planning your trips and saving pennies .

[mashby]

For those that are confirming, how many are planning on staying overnight?

[CPTBadAss]

Lmao, need the chance to win a GHpad in order to show up? That makes me sad. It's not even a full keyboard! Come for the new friends and playing with keyboards!

For those that are confirming, how many are planning on staying overnight?

I'm planning on staying the night. Not sure where at yet.


Since tjcaustin is probably coming out with all his audiophile swag, I'll bring my stuff too.

Headphones:
Grado Sr80i
Mr Speaker Mad Dogs
JH5 CIEMs

Amps:
Schiit Magni
Schiit Vali

And I'll bring my collection of boards if there's interest in everything.

[tigersharkdude]

I may or may not giveaway some "extras" that cap makers have sent me with orders

My swag is light right now.

Fostex TH900
JH 13 pros
HE-400i (maybe)

amp:
Oppo HA-1 (maybe)


And I just realized this is on the 20th which means I can't bring a novatouch and my hhkb to swap stems.

Not with that attitude you can't.

[tigersharkdude]

Dude clearly didnt read the thread, I live here thus ill be there.

It was a joke -___-

[CPTBadAss]

I READ EVERYTHING

[tjcaustin]

I READ EVERYTHING

I CAN'T READ ANYTHING. I'M UNLITERAL.

[CPTBadAss]

What if I told you as an incentive, our savior Girlshark Wizbro is going to grace our presense at this meetup? Show up and learn more about the prophecy. Perhaps the Girlshark will favor you with a high five from it's flipper or fins 

[taylordcraig]

Wish I could come. I'm so far away in Canada.

[CPTBadAss]

According to the prophecy, distance is not an excuse to traveling and meeting the Girlshark. Every Geekhacker is required to do so once during their stay on the site.

This is really off topic...

[CPTBadAss]

We are in the off topic forum )

[tigersharkdude]

Back on topic; is anybody working on an itinerary?  Anybody want to meet up for breakfast before going to the mech.keyboards shop?

What about afterwards? IIRC their shop is fairly close to Loveless Cafe, which is :YUM:

Tentative Schedule
(Everything subject to change and I'm pretty flexible)
0900 or 1000?: mashby can get us some time at the Zaphod room. We can show up, spread out our keyboards, hang out and play with keyboards.
1200?: Lunch in Nashville
1300?: Drive out to MechanicalKeyboards.com storefront and enjoy a nice tour. Hang out with the MK.com guys like 00zerO and talk keyboards. Frolic in their keyboard showroom/warehouse and admire their PowerWheels
1800?: Dinner/drinks/hangouts/ice cream in Nashville.

Mashby and I have been working on a schedule. This is what I have so far. We've talked about where to go eat and what not. I'll post more info as I have it or mashby can chime in .

Should also say this is totally up for debate. Not like I know the area or anything.

[Halverson]

Is the schedule not:
1-get money
2-**** *******

This wouldn't be a gh meetup with an itinerary.

[CPTBadAss]

On a much more serious note, it will be up to 00ZerO as to what time he'd like to host us. Since he is the one who is letting us into the MK.com storefront.

From 1pm on would be fine.

I just read in his classifieds thread that he's broken a molar and it's going to cost $1800 to get fixed. TJ may be out, but I hope not.

That is upsetting I've only chipped a tooth and that sucked a lot.

Funny thing, I was almost going to end up in Austin the weekend of this meetup!

Nope, I was thinking of Cheech and Chong.

Im deaf, so music is pointless unless its something I remember from before I lost my hearing

Ah, sorry to hear that. I didn't know.

[hwood34]

well, looks like I can't make it to this one, mom's birthday is that day. I've remembered so many times her birthday was that day, thought about the meetup being that day, somehow didn't piece those together until now
