KeyCon 2018!! --> Details Posted

[yinzer]

As a native yinzer (yinz = y'all / yinzer = pittsburgher), I'm obligated to be a good neighbor.

Whoa!  What the??  I had no idea about any of that, that's really neat.  TIL. 

We have the ugliest accent in America

I'm definitely in for Pittsburgh. Is there a carpool thread that usually gets started for these?

I'm in the Maryland/DC/Baltimore area, and I'm down for driving a carpool if we can get a group of people together.

We've had successful carpools happen for previous events. I'd suggest showing some interest in here as things progress to see if anybody would be interested in joining. There are plenty of people from that area, so I bet you can harangue some into a road trip!

guess i'll go say hi to merrisa

Sounds like a good idea for a topic :think:

Agreed! Just thinking for a successful separate topic to occasionally check in with the main thread to keep newcomers aware of it.

This is so true! Awhile back I had a traveling job & people were always asking me where I was from because of my accent, my Pittsburghese isn't even that heavy too! The funniest is when I was down south & asked someone for a pop or milkshake, they had no ideal what I was talking about!

[BobCarltheThird]

Is funding already figured out or is there going to be a GoFundMe to contribute to similar to the last Columbus meetup?

Honestly, the week of is fine. But the sooner the better so we have an idea if we're approaching the max attendance at the venue. I'm pretty confident we'll be more than fine though.

DAMN...

That's the same weekend as RockFire

Looks like I have a decision to make.

[kmba]

I'll be gone the week of July 4th. Oh well, have fun.

[Rob27shred]

So pumped for this! Just RSVPed & also already let everyone know I will not be available that weekend. Can't wait to finally put some faces to the names & checkout everybody else's boards!

[mgsickler]

I should be able to make this!

[norbauer]

This sounds excellent. I'm going to try to come out for this!

[emenelopee]

Pittsburgh? Holy moly that's a ways away.

[d_stilgar]

Yeah! I'm in and June 30th gives me time to make a killer poster!

[Oi27]

I'm new to KeyCon this year - is there any fee to get in? I live a few hours away and it seems like a fun thing to do.

It looked a little expensive when I saw the rates but I'm still trying to stay there. The hotel looks really cool

Making this keycon a whole weekend trip with me and my sisters! They can know more about the hobby I've spent so much money and time on for the last 3-4 years! RSVP'ed just now! Definitely will try to see about staying at the Ace Hotel as well but may have to go the airbnb route or something depending on how much it ends up costing. I'm sure it'll work out lol

[Darthbaggins]

Would love to make it out to this, that is if I can escape from work and Nantucket

[Mr. Glass]

I am still waiting to see what my work schedule looks like as this date approaches, though have added it to my calendar and really hope to attend :-)

[vivalarevolución]

F it, I am coming.  My other hobbies had to take a backseat recently, so I will put this event on my calendar.

[jtm94]

Heya just finding out about this I figure I may as well try and come out being so close!

[jacobsmirror]

Just a quick update, since most people are watching this thread. The guest list is current sitting at 182 attendees.

Also, we're working on sorting out some events and speakers, and also more sponsorships and giveaway items.  If you have anything to add on either subject, check out those threads.

Shaping up to be a good ol' time.

[JP]

So 182 RSVP'd so far and this thread has over 21k views. I think this is going to be an epic turnout.

I don't disagree, but... Does the view counter go up each time someone visits, or are those UNIQUE visits?

It'd only take a little under 100 people to check the thread after every new reply (like I do) to get to that view count

I'm still super stoked.

I think it's the former in terms of view count, so not unique views.

I hope so - Tiny is the best , her rap is quite fire too 

[mittyzz]

Oh a stream there would be really fun actually.

[HoffmanMyster]

Meetup streams are definitely fun and I'd love to see it - we had one at KeyCon 2013 in San Jose.  There was a head-cam GoPro that walked around the venue showing everything off too.    So if anyone has one of those and wants to do some streamin'... 

[Carlobv]

I signed up on the other thread and noticed this one was more active.  I'm also from the area if anyone has questions or anything.

[hyperlite218]

I really cant wait for this. Hoping my first meetup is a good one!
