  • rare caps?! THAT'S A SMILIN
Want to get a temperature of how many people maybe interested in having a keyboard meet up in the Seattle/eastside area.  Of course anyone is welcome.  If there are enough people, we can discuss where and when.

Post here if you are interested.

Anyone in the USA Pacific Northwest or Canada Southwest (is that such a thing?) are welcome.  Anyone in Oregon, Idaho, Northern California, British Columbia, are welcome.  Well, if you can get to SP bin Bellingham, WA, you are invited!

EDIT: Fill in the form to sign up!

If this this is around the October timeframe, that works.  September is more or less out for me.  I'd be very interested in making the drive down from Vancouver.

we could take a drive and picket outside the SP offices :)

Unfortunately I sold my Leopold mx brown otaku and blue is pending, but I'll have my hhkb2 black blank by then.  Hopefully it arrives tomorrow!

I might just trade sexual favors for a topre clack. Huehuehue

I can do Saturday or Sunday.  Are we doing a bar type scene or a restaurant where we will sit? Day or night? Please let there be booze.

I didn't see HHKB2 pro listed anywhere on the list yet so hopefully someone will want to diddle her. Everyone wants to fondle that KMAC though =O~

Any suggestions for meeting places?  A place large enough for use to layout our keyboards?  I worry we don't have enough time to organize to make it work this weekend...

I have a lounge in my apartment complex that I can reserve about maybe one or two weeks in advance. There's enough room for your keyboards and people can just hang out there, it has a nicely sized tv, wireless internet, and billiards. There's a kitchen with a breakfast bar where all your keyboards can go (or even on the billiards table if no one wants to play). And if the weather's nice you can bring stuff to grill ;) There's several food places nearby though.

Oh I'm in North Seattle.
