I have been searching for a powder blue board, but it seems to be somewhat of a unicorn.

These are what your looking for CPT

Unfortunately, they were only used for lock keys, so a whole keyboard would be difficult to put together.

[CPTBadAss]

Yes. Give to me all the purple and pink switches.

[livingspeedbump]

Hey Guys! Few updates..

1. there WILL be a brand new keyboard as a giveaway prize, as well as a few smaller prizes as well.

2. Engicoder and I will finalize the meeting location this week and post that asap. After the meetup it looks like we will meet back up at the livingspeedbump house to continue hanging out/cookout. I will plan to cook around 5, giving people that have to drive home time to leave at a decent hour. If you have any special dietary needs please PM me and I will make sure to have food to accommodate you at the house.

[vivalarevolución]

ROOOOOADDDDDD TRRRRRRIPPPPP!!!!

Not really, though, probably won't make it.

[HoffmanMyster]

If you have any special dietary needs please PM me and I will make sure to have food to accommodate you at the house.

I require a beer in my hand at all times.  Pls accommodate.

I could come and bring my Phantom with ergo clears and Browns that will be put to shame by everyone else's fantastic keyboards

[billnye]

Is anyone going that's any good at soldering? I need something small fixed on my LZ .

Its now about showing the best keyboard, its about hanging out together and trying new keyboards

Hey All,

Updated the OP with the location/times. If you are traveling and plan to get here before the 11am meetup start time let me know! Before the meetup I will give my Phone # to travelers in case you need help finding the location. I will be out in the am at a coffee house near the location before time where you could meet up so you aren't driving around wasting time 

I know we have a new keyboard, a buckling spring keyboard, and some fun little items to giveaway. Engicoder and I will be working on fun ways to raffle these off, but if you have any ideas, however crazy, let us know!

Also, Engicoder and I will be covering the room rental ($35 hrs) and food costs, so if you want to bring $5-10 to help out that would be great, but is not needed.

If you have any other questions please just let us know

The FC660C would be good. With that we will have just about every Topre angle covered I believe. LZ-GH would be rad.

Guys, anything else??? Guys? Hello?

[CPTBadAss]

>says he has three IBM 4704
>asks for FC660C



Bring the Skeldon. The OG American Custom.

Why not just have him cram you in his luggage instead of bringing keyboards?

All of your cool boards have yet to be assembled... :(

Skeledon, RF 10AE, 23UB and GON HHKB.


I hope you rented out the weight room, livingspeedbump. GH Swole Nation!  :))

I'm down. Hoff, wanna smuggle me?

Gahh, no need to rub it in!    And whoops, 23UB has been sold.  Cannot bring.  :|

What are the "cool boards" you'd like me to bring?  Maybe I can assemble one in time?

Can I snuggle you instead?

[engicoder]

I doubt most people there will have seen any 4704 board first hand, so the Kishsaver might be a good, albeit heavy, choice.

I read this as "wanna snuggle me?" and still didn't find it weird at all.

I completely missed your Kishsaver in your list, bring that in lieu of the 23UB

Basically all of the custom stuff like the GON HHKB and the Viper are "cool", but they haven't been assembled yet :/ would love to see one in person.

Up to you though, I always like IBM stuff if you can't assemble anything in time, no worries

[engicoder]

Hoff....looks like that Pulse set may pay your airfare

[HoffmanMyster]

Hoff....looks like that Pulse set may pay your airfare

Hehe, looks like it!    I'll only be taking a portion of that though, the rest is going to Destiny. 

So I'll be selling another couple sets shortly to cover the rest.  Plane tickets are spensive...  :O

[jerue]

I will bring Modern Selectric (might actually have both sets of modifiers!) and Granite (maybe).

Having friends in Japan kicks butt 

I'm slowly making a full on Topre transition (and Zealios of course for the Mira). I'm just not enjoying Cherry's like I used to. I'll probably want to buy a heap of Cherry boards again in the future sometime, such is the cycle.
Dam son.

I wouldn't mind seeing a 55g RF... if you wanted to bring that I'd be thrilled.

[jerue]

I am definitely bringing mine! 


This is a bit off topic, but have any of you guys been to Adventure Landing? Doesn't seem to have stellar reviews, but I might go if there is still a Dance Dance Revolution arcade machine there. I played the crap out of this in high school and a bit in college, plus wouldn't you all want to see me flail around like an idiot?

Adventure Landing may get you shot. Also, its about a 25min drive on the other side of town from where we are. The Dave and Busters arcade is much newer and only 5ish mins away from the other places, and overall probably a better bet 

[blcksqrrl]

Adventure Landing may get you shot.

There's nothing wrong with Capital boulevard. Just kidding, don't go there. I haven't actually been to Adventure Landing in years, but the last time that I was there it was pretty run down and I don't think that they've done much upkeep since then.

A while ago i used to drive a truck up and down Capital all day because i delivered a lot of car parts for all the Leith dealerships out there, and it was awful. Hate that side of town haha.

Sounds like the Frankie's Fun Park about 5-10 minutes away from me. Definitely not a place to be after dark on a weekend night.

Didn't know there was a Dave and Buster's in Raleigh though, will go there instead
