Toronto Meet - Matias Tour Round 2 (July 11, 2015) - PICTURES PAGE 7

[FrostyToast]

It seems like we have more people preferring Aurora.
If we are going there hopefully I can hitch a ride from someone in Toronto.

[elton5354]

I wouldn't mind people bringing their female friends as well.

[Noko]

There's street parking (no meters or signs, so I guess free?) plus a lot at my place.

But--I think Matias is the better call though if they're okay with the weekend opening, just cause I have no AC at this place, and in July that's going to suck exponentially the more people we have

Edit: And I feel less bad about dragging in a friend with a car if we're not going to be overcrowded with GHers as it is.  Guy thinks his Das is the pinnacle of keyboard engineering and needs some education

No AC sounds terrible.
Just means we need more beer coolers at the afterparty, right?

Or less clothes?

[FrostyToast]

They pretty much go hand in hand with each other anyway.

[Hyde]

Okay cool sounds like the majority would prefer Aurora, I will send another e-mail to Steve tonight to see if they can open it up for us on the originally proposed date and time.

I'll update you guys once I find out.

And then we party down! Korean BBQ? Non stop shots?

[Sifo]

[Hyde]

Okay I got the OK from Steve, the event will still be on Saturday July 11, 2015.

Door open 12:30 pm and pizza will be served at 1:00 pm, people can hang out and chill until 2:00 pm then we start the main event.

Hurray !!!




EDIT:  Updated title to Matias Tour Round 2 (July, 11, 2015).

[FrostyToast]

Nice! Now who wants to pick me up from Toronto?

[Sifo]

same I need a ride

[Hyde]

lol don't worry as the day gets closer I'll do a carpool sheet so everyone can get a ride. 

[Dreamre]

I wouldn't mind people bringing their female friends as well.

I gatta hide my gf from you then...

[SeeThruHead]

Assuming I can manage to solder and test them before the meetup I can bring a jd40, planck, and infinity.
Also, novatouch, hhkb, kensington slimblade. Let me know if anyone wants to see those, or if you were thinking about bringing one of the aforementioned so we don't overlap.

[Matias]

BTW, we'll be showing a few design prototypes, to get feedback on whether they should go into production or not -- so should be a treat for anyone who can make it.

lol I think all the girls that showed up last year were all people's g/f.

I mean I'm brining my fiance too but that probably doesn't help you haha.  I'll see if she has single friends that are into keyboards.

I was bugging Halverson about HHKB, but if you can bring the planck and novatouch that would be cool.

HOLYCRAP prototypes and beta tests are always fun !!! 

You need to let us test your products more often haha.

Or like how you expected me to be a girl

I guess I can bring a silent 30g hhkb still. Maybe I'll cover it entirely in novelty caps

[ttzhou]

Though the carpool sheet isn't posted, I'd be willing to split gas/carpool with a few folks in my small ass Ford Focus five seater. I'd prefer to pickup at a major station/mall though that's not downtown, I'm not a fan of driving in DT Toronto especially with Pan Ams on around that time.

LOL I don't think it's just me, EVERYONE thought you were a girl.

Oh and what happened to your 45g HHKB lol?

Though the carpool sheet isn't posted, I'd be willing to split gas/carpool with a few folks in my small ass Ford Focus five seater. I'd prefer to pickup at a major station/mall though that's not downtown, I'm not a fan of driving in DT Toronto especially with Pan Ams on around that time.

Since I have to pick up my fiancé from downtown I think I can cover downtown.  LOL though I wouldn't worry now I'm pretty sure we'll have people from all over the city. 

You're... not? Well I am!

Uh oh! Better not tell Elton

lol omg a girl that's not someone's girlfriend/wife/whatever, that's impossibru !!!

[Doltoid]

I plan to be there.

[Hyde]

I plan to be there.

Okay I've added you to the list. 

[SeeThruHead]

If someone is carpooling from downtown can you send me a pm. Thanks lots!

[Dreamre]

Hyde, I think you should add Toronto into the heading in case there might be others who may be interested in attending!

[exitfire401]

Well ****...had I known about this, I would've gotten the endorsement on my license to cross the border...not sure how I missed this thread...only a 4 hours or so drive for me

[dfj]

Cool - things have settled out nicely, though instead of freezing we'll be sweltering this time. :)

I will again want to mooch a ride, though I'm more than happy to chip in for gas and whatnot as desired, and can meet at any subway station (though the young/uni/spadina line is the easiest for me.)

Guess I should finish up a project so I have something for show & tell. :)

looking forward,
dfj

BTW - noko - do you know if solway metal still located on the other side of bloor, bit west of symington?

[trigun0x2]

I can pick up two people from York Mills station!

Price: One brocap each or a KMAC2....

[Hyde]

Hyde, I think you should add Toronto into the heading in case there might be others who may be interested in attending!

Oh yeah good point !

That and I guess I can slowlyyyyy start on the carpool list...... slowly...... lol.

I guess I'll make a google doc later tonight after I get home from work. 

[user 18]

Do we have a board/keycaps list? I'm down to bring a few boards (no project boards of mine will be ready for this, unfortunately), but won't bother packing things up if others will be brining the same.

[ttzhou]

any space left for a plus 1? girlfriend wants to see what all the hype is about for keyboards 

that makes me available for carpooling at certain subway stations since i have to pick her up from north york.

[Hyde]

Okay carpool and keyboard list up !!!




EDIT:  Address updated too, so people can REALLY plan their routes now lol.

[user 18]

Keyboard list is not publicly editable.

Do we have a timeline for when the tour is happening, etc? I have another event that afternoon that I'd forgotten about, but I need to go to. Still hoping to be able to come to this, but an approximate itinerary would be useful.

[Noko]

I was thinking of renting a car, could pick up a bunch of people then (normally I use zipcar for car stuff).

Fixed !!!

They will serve pizza at 1:00 pm and we can eat pizza / hangout until the main event that start at 2:00 pm.  Assuming the main event will last 2-3 hours then we can probably all go eat dinner / drinks after.

Realistically I think we'll be done around 7:00 - 8:00 pm.

We're too old to party late.

I will likely just be there for the initial hangout then.

[divito]

I'll plan to attend. I have nothing noteworthy to bring.

[Hyde]

lol it's everyone's welcome, I think I didn't bring anything last year either. 

[ttzhou]

just checking again since didn't get a reply earlier: is it all right if I bring my girl, I know it's a bit late, not sure if there's still enough space?

this makes me available for subway stations around finch/don mills for carpooling of about 2 people (unless 3 wanna squeeze in the backseat). don mills is probably better since there's more parking for me to wait at.

If not enough space I'll just tell her to suck it up (no bad jokes please  ) )

More than welcome to bring your girlfriend to join us. I'm getting off at work at noon and can pick some up at Bay St and College St.

lol I'm bringing my g/f too.

But yea I think Steve from Matias mentioned they have quite a bit of space, so as long you can make your way there somehow I say the more the merrier. 

[ttzhou]

is member "e" with "gallardo" serious?

if so, lucky riders 

[Hyde]

lol no one signed up to any cars yet.

No one wants to be the first. 

LOL and swaglord yolomancer, is that you sifo?  It's sad how I can recognize people by their keyboards.

Maybe it's fear that one of the new guys offering (like me) are actually closet serial killers.
