I'm proud to announce some collabos for Keycon that I've been working on.

HP x CBA - Stickers

Show Image

HipsterPunks was kind enough to donate his artistic stylings and time to this project. I'm going to run these and either SPE or the Keycon logofrom my T shirt buy as stickers to give out.

Melvang x CBA - Keycap pullers

Show Image

I've commissioned Melvang to make keycap pullers for Keycon. I'll be giving them away there. Melvang was kind enough to donate his knot typing skills and work on this giveaway project with me.

These guys deserve way more credit than I do for all the work they've done. Thank you guys.

I'll also have some keycaps to give away including a Turtle Power keycap set.

yeah... I'm going to need that on a shirt...

Yes - but it will likely be next spring.

So at what time do we have to show up?

bueller · « **Reply #354 on:** Tue, 10 June 2014, 22:51:16 »

Haven't been following the thread but I had an idea... If someone has the equipment and space you should set up a little photo booth for snapping shots of keyboards and artisan caps etc.

dianoda did this last keycon and i've love to do this again, but don't have the lighting hardware that he had (which is not at all cheap). if we can gather the photographers who will be going, we can probably put something together though

To be fair, we could do something somewhat similar on the cheap with a white sheet and outside, assuming it isn't overcast. Then, depending on how that turns out, we can touch up and polish in lightroom (which I have a copy of on my mac mini).

Yes but your mac mini will be in texas, not the bay area.

Also yes, what time is this going down?

Anson, in the future, there's this thing called the internet. And part of the internet lets you load up a large amount of files to transfer to someone far away.

I had stickers made. Shoutouts to HipsterPunks for the design and BunnyLake who helped me print them! These are going to be Keycon exclusive. I may try and get other stickers made as well. Get Geekhacked at Keycon.

Should I order extra shirts to sell at the Con?

Smasher816 · « **Reply #371 on:** Sat, 14 June 2014, 11:51:29 »

I personally think it would be a good idea.

mkawa · « **Reply #372 on:** Sun, 15 June 2014, 01:33:30 »

those are some sweet stickers

and yah, more shirts, totally

CPTBadAss · « **Reply #373 on:** Sun, 15 June 2014, 01:38:51 »

Ok, but I'm not ordering too many extra shirts since I have a GB thread running right now.

Input Nirvana · « **Reply #374 on:** Sun, 15 June 2014, 09:48:23 »

Just a few. The nature of this type of thing is preorder. The moment you are stuck with 1 extra shirt, the process starts to suck and become a chore. Any shirts at Keycon need to sell a couple dollars higher (not cheaper, saving on shipping) since CAPTBadAss is lugging them around the country. Remember that.

If you want a shirt, order now.

mkawa · « **Reply #375 on:** Sun, 15 June 2014, 11:48:40 »

oh right, i keep forgetting to place me order.

Is it better to fly in to SJC or SFO? Would someone be willing to pick me up from either on Friday?

CPTBadAss · « **Reply #377 on:** Sun, 15 June 2014, 11:53:26 »

I'm getting picked up at SFO on Friday. I can ask my ride if he's ok with getting you. SJC is technically closer to the venue I think. And I'm not sure where you're staying.

SJC is physically closer to Mountain View, SFO is closer by transit convenience.

mkawa · « **Reply #379 on:** Sun, 15 June 2014, 15:40:48 »

SJO is much closer to the venue. if you come in to SFO, you'll need to take two trains down to mountain view or your hotel; you'll bart to milpitas, and from there you have to take caltrain down to mountain view.

Anyone in the NY/NJ area planning on going? I'm thinking about it, but It would be nice to travel with someone else. Travelling alone is boring.

Thinking about it! Only have a three vacation days left until January 2015.

Where do you even pick these up. I don't think anywhere local carries it, but I know amazon has everything - so I should probably look there.

I rock a KendamaUSA kendama that I picked up in Chicago

. Their website works fine too. Halverson bought his from eBay but I like KendamaUSA.

dorkvader · « **Reply #392 on:** Wed, 25 June 2014, 14:31:42 »

I got an orzoa kendama from them: they're great!

IIRC, the good CPT has a blue tribute

I just booked tickets from July 9 - 15. See you there!

samwisekoi · « **Reply #393 on:** Sun, 29 June 2014, 10:57:04 »

Is there a roster of people who are planning to attend? I need to know how many to expect.

Also, it would be good to know how much horizontal space I need to provide for people's keyboard collections and other displays.

dorkvader · « **Reply #394 on:** Sun, 29 June 2014, 11:11:11 »

there's a tentative list of people in the organizational thread:

as far as horizontal space: hard to say. It really depends on how many kbs HaaTa is bringing.

Smasher816 · « **Reply #397 on:** Thu, 03 July 2014, 13:48:33 »

Looking for hotels in the area. I just want to confirm the events address since it is not in the op. A quick google for 727suport in mountain view gave me this.

1077 Independence Ave, Mountain View, CA.

Is that correct?

CPTBadAss · « **Reply #398 on:** Thu, 03 July 2014, 13:54:41 »

Yes. The website, 724support.com, is in huge red letters in the OP. The address then can be found here. But you're right, the address should be put somewhere more conspicuous.

Smasher816 · « **Reply #399 on:** Thu, 03 July 2014, 14:06:04 »

Yeah that is where I found the address. I knew it was hosted by 727support but wanted to confirm it was in their building.

I don't think it would hurt to add it to the OP by the schedule. Thanks for the confirmation.
