LOL, nope still can't buy!    I'm still working on getting the funds to pay myself back for the plane ticket.  )

[engicoder]

Speaking of which...you have dates and times?

[Den441]

I'm definitely going if I can get off work. It's around a 15 hour drive for me. If I do go, I am definitely going to Charlotte on Sunday to ride the new Fury 325 roller coaster which is the tallest and fastest traditional steel coaster in the world.    I think mechanical kb enthusiasts can also make great roller coaster enthusiasts. Both have plenty of clacking!

[jerue]

If anyone needs a ride to this let me know. I'll only be in Raleigh for the day/night, and will be traveling among one of these routes:

I-20 to I-95 to I-40

OR

I-77 to I-85 (can pick up around/near 485 too) to I-40. (this route is much longer for me, just FYI)

Should have plenty of room for keyboard stuff too

[HoffmanMyster]

Now I do!  I just bought my ticket today like the terrible procrastinator I am.    PM incoming. 

[hwood34]

Looks like this will just have to be a day trip for me, though I should be able to chill afterwards for a while.

[dwk396]

RALEIGH!!!!!!!!!!!!

[hwood34]

looks like 456 probably won't be there, and if dorkvader stays dead reed pad probably won't be there either

[dwk396]

I am a little stranger here but do you mind if I join?

Lived in the Carolinas for over 10 years, and just went to Carowinds for the first time today. Can confirm Fury 325 is nothing less than epic.

I've been here over 20 years and still have't gone. Sounds like I should take a trip.

Looks like Hurricane Joaquin is going to make this a wet weekend. In the words of J. Peterman, "Better bring a poncho".

  I don't wanna get rained on.

[trizkut]

I'm worried for my 6 hour commute

[nova779]

I'm coming and I may bring a friend to get him into the hobby

[billnye]

I'm going to be bringing a few boards that I'm currently holding for a friend:

Scitex G80-1800 (the one and only)
DAS II blank black POM
maybe SSK

Looking forward to fighting hoffman irl

aw man up 

Watch one episode of The Pacific and getting rained on will never seem so bad again.

Also, we almost rented an outdoor area, so...glad we didnt take that route haha.

[Delirious]

Hi guys long time Charlotte lurker here, my keyboard hobby is pretty much just on and off so I dont really have an extensive collection, looking at the list what I have someone else already has. I would love to join and drool in jealousy so to make it up for the lack of keyboard contribution I can come with pizza.

Bring it m8

Don't tell me to man up!  I'm, like, totally a man already!    I just don't like the idea of traveling light (which I will be doing) and facing inclement weather.  I may be able to bring a jacket, but not much.

Engicoder is a true gent, I'm sure he can escort you around with an umbrella haha.

If not that is totally understandable! Im going to try to make this happen every 2 months, so hopefully another will happen soon enough!

[linkshine]

Hopefully we get some pizza pictures.


This weather though. Hopefully the torrential downpour doesn't start until after the meetup.

Edit: So, uh...state of emergency declared for North Carolina eh?

I know you live in Little Rock, but that's what I'm saying.  The meetup is in two days, you've got time to get there! 

[mrbishop]

i'm in central SC and wish my weekend was covered up or i'd try to make it.

Haha, I've done it in a straight shot before! Definitely possible

[livingspeedbump]

Hey All,

I know we are looking at some interesting weather over the weekend, but no chance this will be cancelled on my end 

Should you get stuck for some reason, my house is open to stay at.

Also, if you want my cell before coming up, just PM me.

Hope to see you all there!

[engicoder]

Forecast is looking a bit better. The hurricane is staying out to see and the worst of the rain is supposed to come tonight (Thursday). Still calling for rain Saturday, but at least it doesn't look like it will be biblical anymore.

[nova779]

I more than likely will not be able to come due to the weather and my father not being comfortable with me driving that far alone with the weather like it's supposed to be, hopefully it lightens up so I can come though

I kinda thought people stopped having birthdays after about 30, with the exception of maybe 100  .

When they are the last grandparent standing... the parents feel obligated.  I dunno if you've been there but it's not a very happy thing for me.

I'm forced to have a bday every year, though I did sneak by a few years ago without anyone knowing/remembering it was my bday and it was a gloriously normal day.



ALSO IN REGARDS TO TOMORROW:

Not sure how rainy it will be, but my porch and cooking on the porch looks like it probably wont happen for lunch. So I propose we just rearrange the schedule a bit and hit up the Mall/Food Court/Dave And Busters together as a group right after for some food and fun, and after that anyone left standing (probably 5ish?) Is more than welcome back to the house to continue looking at keyboards, trading stuff, etc.

Ahhwwwwww yeeeeeee.  Just wanted to make sure it was worth the effort of me hauling all dem things down there. 

[livingspeedbump]

Outside of Hoff, anyone for sure need a place to stay? If so PM me just so I have a count. Just FYI I have to work sunday morning now so wakeup time will be like 715 haha. I know, ouch.

I'm not a fan of sleeping though so hanging out all night is still definitely a thing  Just wanted to give those that may need a place to stay a heads up about that

[HoffmanMyster]

Good news everyone. My keyboards do not contain explosives. The TSA was kind enough to check for me. I didn't even have to ask!

[nova779]

The weather is looking up so I am going to get to come
