Title: Re: [IC] Southern California Keyboard Meetup - Winter 2019
Post by: shinz0 on Thu, 06 June 2019, 13:26:59: Hey guys,

Things got a little busy for me (work/personal) and we were unable to finalize anything for spring.

We'll be aiming for winter, just like last year. Looking into either the same venue, or something larger.

If you're interested in seeing what the meetups are like, here are some photos from the last MKC/LA Meetup

Post by: DukeEsquire on Sun, 30 June 2019, 11:26:08: A bit random, but is anyone here in the Los Angeles area and would be interested in doing some desoldering? I have cash/paypal. I messed up my first build and I need to fix a stabilizer bar that wasn't properly installed. I tried desoldering, but I can't seem to figure it out and I'm scared of damaging by board. Would rather pay someone to help me do it at this point than risk it.
Title: Re: [IC] Southern California Keyboard Meetup - Winter 2019
Post by: Acereconkeys on Sun, 30 June 2019, 13:10:42: How did I never know there was a socal keyboard community? Been looking for one.

Will be at the meetup!
