KEYCON WEST 2014!

[V1ral]

So if I go to this, will I get to touch all the keyboards?

[SonicRevolution]

Hey guys,

BTW, I plan to bring my working QWERYWRITER Prototype to Keycon (Whether my kickstarter takes off or crashes).  I hope to see you meet some of you soon!   You can type away and check it out!

Here's an ultra sexy angled pic of it!

Wow, that announcement almost inspired me to actually attend Keycon.  Attendees better be taking lots of pictures for me.

[Melvang]

I so wish I could attend this year but real life got it the way.

Either way I have a bit of a surprise for the attendees courtesy of CPTBadass.

End of line.

In addition to this Melvang X CBA collabo, and something else I'm working on for Keycon, would anyone be interested in Keycon t-shirts? I'm thinking one of the GH logos on the front, and "Keycon 2014" in special elite on the back. Since I'm making and wearing one, I would like to print them on American Apparel. I've got some places here in Cincinnati to print shirts at but the questions is, should I even bother?

Oh, and black shirt with orange font.

[mkawa]

i'm totally down with AA t-shirts. AA is local to me, by the way, as are a million screen printers.

[HoffmanMyster]

I'm totally in for a shirt.  That sounds awesome.

[mkawa]

the photoshare has a whole bunch of designs in it, lastpilot's, some designs from people i can't remember at all, and some of mine.

[Frenir]

Another sad day for a European, I would've enjoyed attending this. Oh well.

Would love one. Sounds awesome.

I have an AA branch here for shirts and screenprinters I can look at here. Do you want to help out or should I just do this?

I don't know what this photoshare is.

[Krogenar]

I don't know what this photoshare is.

It's a dropbox thing -- I keep forgetting you're new around here.

i'm pretty swamped, but if you can talk to them and ask whether it would be easier to go through AA in LA, even just for delivery (everything is made downtown) and help coordinate, that would be awesome. i am pretty much swamped until keycon itself, but if everything were arranged, i could make a run to grab stuff and get them to a printshop. there is one particularly local to me on sawtelle. i think they do the giant robot shirts actually.

[CPTBadAss]

Ok, I'll figure it out and post more information when I have it.

[mkawa]

so new..

[CPTBadAss]

Mingaling gets a special one off shirt just for that comment: #1 meanieface

[Sifo]

not going 100 percent confirmed. can't afford cuz going to pax killed my vacation budget, and also in July I have to take a summer course cuz I can't ****ing speak English

yall can try to summon me by putting gold springs in a circle with a dt35 in the middle

[CPTBadAss]

Will it work better if I get a 001 keycap from Girldc? And English is 2hard.

[mkawa]

... dt35 in the middle

we will surround it by real keyboards. we will also put a real keyboard on top so that no one can see that abomination

As a defense of the board, did you even see the presentation last year at KeyCon???  Probably not.  You were probably talking to someone about pizza.

Glad I'm not coming then

Anyone want t-shirts? I've got an interest check up: http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=59117.0

I've got some other stuff in the works for Keycon goodies which will be revealed when all the pieces fall into place...and I have some keycaps/sets that I'll be giving away.

[SebsG]

"KeyCon West" why is this not in Key West, perfect name for it x'D

[CPTBadAss]

You can't play with keyboards on the beach! You'd get sand in the switches! And outside??

[SebsG]

lol, good point

[CPTBadAss]

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

HP x CBA - Stickers



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



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.

[Melvang]

The first prototype puller has been sent to CBA.  They will be dressed up a touch with no exposed melted ends of the cordage.  Each one is close to 35 feet of cord and 3 to 4 hours worth of work.  Each one has 2 different decorative knots and 2 different hitchings. 

I challenge anyone to name either of the hitchings or the knot used. 

[CPTBadAss]

I got a better picture of the pullers. They will be free and I'll raffle them since I don't think there's enough to go around. Thank you melvang!

Also the sticker order has been placed. I'll probably order another style of sticker as well very soon.

And that one isn't 100% finished.  I still added a pair of turks head knots to cover the terminations of the hitchings.

I was trying to figure out how that other picture would function as a keypuller, haha.  I should get some sleep.

[dorkvader]

Looks like I'll be going now! At first I couldn't, 'cause my work wouldn't let me take time off that weekend.

But like a real GHer, I quit my job to free up time.

Now that my priorities are straightened out, I'll see you there! Maybe I'll even be able to give a talk on hall effect or something.

LOL that's what's up dorkvader. I'll trade you. One presentation on metal/plastics manufacturing for one talk on HE switches.

Sorry if this is redundant, but what time is the action planned to start on July 12?  I am considering catching a morning flight for that Saturday.

From the OP. "You don't actually need convention tickets or anything so no need to contact 724support.com. This is the thread that has all the information. All you need to do is to show up on 7/12-7/13 at the time that will be posted here soon."

Unless there has been anything new...
