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

So really hoping this happens since I actually won't be able to make it to this one. Though next go round I'll actually have a few new boards to bring ;)

This is now a food thread.

Kinda talked to Hoff about this. Having it that far over was so you guys would have an easier time driving over together. Would definitely be Feb/March probably.

Almost positive the next one I host will be in Asheville early next year sometime. There seems to be a lot of people in charlotte though, and I have a brother that works there so maybe we can have a small one there sometime before we all head to asheville  :thumb:

Asheville also has Harvest Records, which is a world class record store if there ever was one, and crate digging is definitely going to have to be part of the after party of any meetup I go to.

I would love to join the one in Asheville! I'm in Greenville, SC but it's not too far from here. It's such a cool town, my wife and I visit there frequently.

I'm un-stickying this thread for the time being.  LSB, once you get a date set or once a discussion about potential dates for the next meetup starts, let me know and I'll get it stickied again.  Just want to free up some space in the interim.  :thumb:

Oh of course! I was going to mention that. I'll wait until post holiday season and then really try to ramp things up and make this a big meeting. Retrochick will be moved to NC by then too, so this is getting bigger and bigger!

Count me in too! I'm in downtown Cary. I dont have much of a collection yet; A corsair k95 RGB and a cherry switch tester :rolleyes:.. but i'm looking to either build or buy a 104 key MX-brown setup for the wife and a 60% MX-green or MX-clear for me. It would be super helpful to try others boards first.
