So I've been talking about organizing another meetup this year. Originally I was thinking of having it in Chicago but this opportunity pretty much fell into my lap thanks to mashby's incredible organizational skills. We've also been in touch with 00zerO and the fellas at MechanicalKeyboards.com. I will continue refining the plan with MK.com and mashby since it's the two of them who will be hosting us essentially. Read more for details.
Who wants to visit the MechanicalKeyboards.com storefront and enjoy a day of keyboards, friends, and great food in the Nashville area?
Mashby and I went last year (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=38767.0) and it was a good time so we were hoping that this year we could return with a bigger contingent of Geekhackers!
We're going to set this up for 9/20/14. It works out for mashby and 00zerO, the two people who are hosting us. That date seems to work for a lot of people as well.
More
The tentative plan is for this to be in late September or early October on a weekend. Some weekends that would work for mashby, MK.com, and myself. I prefer a Saturday meetup. This is subject to change of course depending on who is available and who from GH is interested in coming out:
9/20/14
9/27/14
10/4/14
9/20/14
9/27/14
10/4/14
Tentative Schedule/Agenda for the day
Mashby put together a revised agenda/overview below. Please give me your feedback and let me know what you think.
Overview:
The meetup will kick off at 9am at Center 615, which is a collaborative office space located in East Nashville. We'll hang out for a bit, have lunch and then drive out to Mechanical Keyboards Showroom (http://mechanicalkeyboards.com) for a tour and a deep dive into their huge selection of keyboards. When we're done, we'll head back to East Nashville for some local ice cream at the The Pied Piper Creamery (http://thepiedpipercreamery.com). For those who are not ready to call it a night, there'll be an after party were we can continue to hang out and check out some local eats and sights.
Date: | Saturday, September 20th |
Time: | 9am - 5pm-ish then After Party |
Location: | Center 615 (https://www.google.com/maps/place/Center+615/@36.174354,-86.761833,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x8864664a9e55fd1f:0x614e596e0f1d6a29), 615 Main Street, Nashville, TN 37206. (Map (https://www.google.com/maps/place/Center+615/@36.174354,-86.761833,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x8864664a9e55fd1f:0x614e596e0f1d6a29)) (See Inside! (https://www.google.com/maps/@36.1744687,-86.7617026,3a,75y,323.1h,83.01t/data=!3m5!1e1!3m3!1sOmQa69n0_p8AAAQIuAWl_w!2e0!3e2)) THERE IS PARKING ON EITHER SIDE OF THE BUILDING. The entrance is facing the street but you need to be buzzed in! |
Agenda:
| 09:00am | Meet Up at Center 615, hang out and check out all the keyboards everyone brought. Coffee from Sky Blue Cafe (http://skybluecoffee.com) will be provided. At the end, there'll be a drawing for a GHPad! For those taking the tour to MK.com, we'll lock up your keyboards in mashby's office so they'll stay safe-and-sound. |
| 12:00pm | Lunch at The Pharmacy (http://thepharmacynashville.com), Nashville's "Wurst-Burger" Joint (map (http://l.mashby.com/KSRK)) |
| 12:45pm | Drive to Mechanical Keyboards Showroom |
| 01:15pm | Tour MechanicalKeyboards.com (http://mechanicalkeyboards.com) (map (http://l.mashby.com/6TuT)) and hang out with the MK.com guys like 00zerO (http://geekhack.org/index.php?action=profile;u=32059) and talk keyboards. Frolic in their keyboard showroom/warehouse and admire their PowerWheels (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=58972.0). |
| 04:00pm | Drive back to East Nashville |
| 05:00pm | Treat yourself to some locally, homemade ice cream at The Pied Piper Creamery (http://thepiedpipercreamery.com) (map (http://l.mashby.com/wOH2)). Afterwards, we'll head back to Center 615 for everyone to pickup their cars and keyboards. |
| 06:00pm | After Party for those that are interested. We can head to downtown Nashville to take in the sites and check out some great live music. Options include: Third Man Records (http://www.thirdmanrecords.com) (map (http://l.mashby.com/6hXi)), Tootsie's Orchid Lounge (http://www.tootsies.net) (map (http://l.mashby.com/1omu)), Robert's Western World (http://robertswesternworld.com) (map (http://l.mashby.com/EMZ7)), or The Station Inn (http://stationinn.com/index01/) (map (http://l.mashby.com/gjnd)), just to name a few. There's plenty of food downtown, such as Jacks (http://jacksbarbque.com) as well as many others. Or perhaps we'll hit up the Pinewood Social (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=61488.msg1470567#msg1470567). It'll be laid back and we'll take a pulse on what everyone is up for before we head downtown. |
Some of us are planning on staying overnight. If you are planning on staying, please let me know. I've got a hotel lined up and we're probably getting breakfast at Monell's in the morning (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=61488.msg1468275#msg1468275).
Please, fill out the attendance form if you plan on attending. (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/168TKxyptsJZH8RTIetnRTiPlgz0I-4pKwHtJHcTsp1I/viewform?usp=send_form)

Fun fact about my previous jobs: I worked for Fisher price Power Wheels in their R&D division. So for me it was power wheels —> mech boards —> kendama
So this may, or may not, be you? :p :p :-*

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 :P
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? ;)

Right now the agenda looks something like this:
1. Meetup First
2. Drive out to Mechanical Keyboards / Tiger Imports
3. Come back to Nashville for Ice Cream & hangout
If everyone is planning on driving back, then wrapping things up by 5pm is probably mandatory. However, if folks are thinking of getting a hotel room and spending the night then that opens the door to other things.
So what are you doing?

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 :D. And hanging out!
Hm, 10 hour drive and $200 in gas or 2 hour/$250 flight. Plus a night in nashville.

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.

so yeah, i'll be there ...... LOLI think my "maybe" just became a "yes"
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.
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.

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.
What is girlshark? I am intrigued.

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?
Tentative Schedule
(Everything subject to change and I'm pretty flexible)
0900 or 1000?: mashby can get us some time at the Zaphod room (http://center615.com/conference-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 (http://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=page_view&p=contact_us) 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 (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=58972.0)
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.

From 1pm on would be fine.

I've put together a revised agenda/overview below. Please give me your feedback and let me know what you think.
Overview:
The meetup will kick off at 9am at Center 615, which is a collaborative office space located in East Nashville. We'll hang out for a bit, have lunch and then drive out to Mechanical Keyboards Showroom (http://mechanicalkeyboards.com) for a tour and a deep dive into their huge selection of keyboards. When we're done, we'll head back to East Nashville for some local ice cream at the The Pied Piper Creamery (http://thepiedpipercreamery.com). For those who are not ready to call it a night, there'll be an after party were we can continue to hang out and check out some local eats and sights.
Date: | Saturday, September 20th |
Time: | 9am - 5pm-ish then After Party |
Location: | Center 615 (https://www.google.com/maps/place/Center+615/@36.174354,-86.761833,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x8864664a9e55fd1f:0x614e596e0f1d6a29), 615 Main Street, Nashville, TN 37206.

Agenda:

| 05:00pm | Treat yourself to some locally, homemade ice cream at The Pied Piper Creamery (http://thepiedpipercreamery.com) (map (http://l.mashby.com/wOH2)). Afterwards, we'll head back to Center 615 for everyone to pickup their cars and keyboards. |
| 06:00pm | After Party for those that are interested. We can head to downtown Nashville to take in the sites and check out some great live music. Options include: Third Man Records (http://www.thirdmanrecords.com) (map (http://l.mashby.com/6hXi)), Tootsie's Orchid Lounge (http://www.tootsies.net) (map (http://l.mashby.com/1omu)), Robert's Western World (http://robertswesternworld.com) (map (http://l.mashby.com/EMZ7)), or The Station Inn (http://stationinn.com/index01/) (map (http://l.mashby.com/gjnd)), just to name a few.

You may want to allot more time for The Pharmacy. Lunch time on a Saturday... you're easily looking at 2+ hours. Most of which will be spent salivating over the sights and smells.
2+ hours? Screw that
I vote somewhere else, non hipster village, for lunch
Somewhere that some chicken can be had would be used nice, this guy hates beef. **Note: not a chicken only place
Post by: mashby on Mon, 08 September 2014, 17:23:09
Also, The Pharmacy has a great chicken sandwich for those that don't like beef. That being said, if folks would prefer pizza, we can always go to 5 Points (http://www.fivepointspizza.com) instead.

Great suggestion JoshMK, but my wife is going to go secure us a table early so that we won't have to wait. :thumb:

I'm not sure if The Pharmacy is this way, but many places (including Chuy's... ugh) will not let you "hold" a table until at least half of your party is present.

Since some people are planning on staying overnight, I've thrown out the idea of meeting up again for breakfast. My suggestion is to go to Monell's (http://monellstn.com/nashville) in Germantown. Why Monell's?

After Party Consideration -- Pinewood Social
I listed a few things downtown for the after party, but another option would be to go to Pinewood Social (http://pinewoodsocial.com). I haven't been there, but I've heard nothing but good things. It's a different kind of place that serves coffee (best in town), has a bar, plenty of food, but also sports vintage bowling, bocce ball and a swimming pool. Looks like a good place to hang.
We won't be making a final decision on the after party until the meet up, but figured I'd give everyone a heads up so the can be thinking about what they might be in the mood for.

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.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/lmG5rxJ.jpg)
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!

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

There's a Head-Fi meetup in Nashville the same day. http://www.head-fi.org/t/723847/music-city-meet-nashville-tn-fall-2014-sept-20-2014Interesting! 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 :).

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.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.

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!

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).

I'm still playing catch up and don't expect to have my pictures up until the weekend at the earliest. Leaving on a business trip in the morning and trying to get everything done so I can get out of town. Can't wait to see photos from those that were at the meet up. :thumb:
