Austin Meetup Part 2Hello again enthusiasts! We are back to announce something we're pretty sure everyone already knew was going to happen, Austin MK meetup 2017! DT legend and Austin local XMIT has corresponded with a makerspace here in the Austin area to provide us with an incredible venue that focuses on the next level of this hobby by promoting DIY skills in many communities and encouraging creators to explore their ideas. Check back on this post occasionally for any updates including community donations!

Here are the nitty gritty details:
Where:
TechShop Round Rock
La Frontera Village, 120 Sundance Pkwy #350, Round Rock, TX 78681
http://www.techshop.ws/When:
Saturday March 11th from 3 pm-7 pm (not including loose after party plans, lots of bars and food hots pots just down the road). We understand this is a bit short notice compared to the last event, but we hope 3 weeks is long enough for people to plan accordingly.
Parking: Will not be an issue, this location is easy to find, and there is a ton of parking available.
Attendee cap: None! We will have plenty of space to accommodate as many people as possible. If you are willing to come out to our event, we will be happy to have you.
Cost: None! Once again, if you are willing to come out, we are happy to have you.
Buying, Selling, and Trading: Completely open! Bring anything keyboard related you’d like to sell! Have Paypal or cash ready if you’re looking to pick up some new goodies! XMIT will be set up with a Paypal credit card reader and can forward funds if necessary.
Food and Drink: BYOB is in full effect, we will be providing food and drink (undecided, taking suggestions).
What should I bring?: Any alcohol you would like (let's keep things reasonable), as many boards you would like to show off/sell, and cash to buy anything you may be interested in at the event!
Reasons to come:
Creator tool demo's
TechShop makerspace tours
Professional product photo booth
Open buying, selling, and trading
Austin meetup Commemorative keycaps
Typing competition with prizes
Raffle prizes
Raffle Prizes: [Will be filled in as we confirm prizes from artisans and vendors.]
This will be an open event to community members, enthusiasts, and non-enthusiasts alike. Established community members will have the chance to meet face to face other enthusiasts, and non-community members will have the opportunity to learn about our niche hobby. Depending on how this meetup goes, there is a possibility Austin will host Keycon 2017 as well. Austin is one of the three city options for Keycon this year. Let's make this event great, and encourage enthusiasts from around the country to explore our state!
