This meetup looks really fantastic. Kind of makes me wish I could blow off the Nashville Meetup this weekend and just drive up to join this one.

What was that? Did I just do a humblebrag AND threadcrap to promote my own event in one sentence? Yes, child, that is precisely what I just did.

Seriously though, if I could afford the time away, I'd totally love to be there. :-*

Shameless promotion, mashby. But I'd be at the mid-south if I didn't loath driving so much.

And I have to move to a different residence this weekend. Priorities, priorities.

Do we have a larger venue yet, Ski?

CPTBadAss · « **Reply #204 on:** Thu, 04 April 2013, 10:33:41 »

Don't worry mashby, what everyone seems to not understand is, we will have ALL the switches. ALL OF THEM!

And yes, a venue update would be great. Please and thanks!

It would be even easier for a UK meetup since it's relatively small.

The UK is only 94,058 sq miles large, Wisconsin is only 65,556 sq miles, so around 1/3 bigger and Wisconsin isn't even a large state

We don't, after some discussion and deliberation, I think our current one will hold everyone.

How long is this planned to run..?. I got scheduled for my ACT the same day and would be down there at 1:30 at the earliest. I told my parents not to sign me up for this test date...

It starts at 10 and goes until whenever, I was kinda hoping some guys would be down for drinking afterwards, so we should be around at 1:30. I know Trent will.

Okey, good. I'd maybe come for a drink, if you're buying my kiddie cocktail.

On a serious note, fair enough. Just wanted to poke about it.

Got my hands on a Pure with MX whites and purple LEDs as well as a Ducky 1087XM with Black Alps. Can't wait to show those off with my other boards

deepthawt · « **Reply #226 on:** Sun, 07 April 2013, 00:30:33 »

Hoping this will be an opportunity to do trades etc. I've got a pristine model M to trade for keycaps that'll fit a G8-5000
specifically a US-EN set with a 1x \| key

Dianoda · « **Reply #227 on:** Mon, 08 April 2013, 11:54:19 »

So, anyone planning to drive from the city and want to ride share? I'd be happy to chip in for gas.

Otherwise, it's CTA/Metra for me and I'll still be looking for a ride from the train station (probably the Waukegan stop on the UP-N line?) to the meet-up location...

The_Beast · « **Reply #228 on:** Mon, 08 April 2013, 12:06:37 »

I'll be staying he night at grandmas house in wheat land near new Munster. If someone needs a short ride to the meetup

Gupgup · « **Reply #229 on:** Mon, 08 April 2013, 12:15:06 »

Unfortunately I won't be able to go

no car for this guy and no one is coming through Sioux Falls! I really wanted to show off my ironman and poker too!

Oh well, have fun guys

Don't even worry about the Metra. I've got a car and a hotel room on the North Shore. I'd be happy to drive in to get you. PM me and we can figure things out.

I've also had some RL difficulties come my way. My attendance is in serious jeopardy as well. I apologize to everyone in case I cannot attend. If there is someone else going from MN, I will gladly hand off the model M I was going to raffle.

Cheers,

Yeah, I am on-call, with a 15 minute respone time. If not for that I would definately be there. If it happens again I will swap with someone at work.

Would be a good trip for us. We have very good friends in Gurnee and a free place to stay.
