Personally, San Diego is a good location for me.  I can double up with some work activities.

UCI is within spitting distance of SD. i definitely considered this when i was thinking about locations. worst case, you take a short commuter hop up to san jose if it ends up being in norcal (but frankly if i'm organizing it will be closer to where i live/work).

boilermaker's parents also live in the san diego area quite close to HQ, imav, so he can drive you up.

to all the brilliant friends who have left us, and all the students who climb on their shoulders.

As for San Diego, that sounds okay with me.  SD in the winter is a nice trip for a guy from NYC. :cool:

Las Vegas is okay too. 

Actually I don't really care where KeyCon '14 is held, as long as I have enough notice to plan my work schedule around it.  The longer ahead it's planned the better.  10 or 11 months is just about enough time too.  That might seem crazy to a vagabond hippy gypsy like CAPTBadAss, to plan things 10 months in advance, but that much time to plan would make it easier for me to attend anywhere in the world.

I'd bet that other people would like the advance notice as well.  So let's pick a place and a date for KeyCon '14 as soon as possible.

Agreed fully. The closer we get to any given date, the likelihood of me attending diminishes, as the possibility for that date to be scheduled for me to work increases drastically.

Dude, anywhere in the world for KeyCon '15?  That can only mean one place.  The Mecca for keyboards:  Seoul, S. Korea.  Second choice would be the Mecca for Topre lovers: Tokyo, Japan.  Third Place would be the Mecca for Larry Herzog lovers:  Columbus, WI, USA.  (why not just party at Larry's house?)

I'll do Seoul, but only if the conference includes a K-Pop concert.

I'm in the same boat. I actually spent like two weeks, with my planning starting in late June, trying to nail down dates at work so that I could go to Keycon '13. I also called in favors but the date actually worked out fine timing wise. It's not easy being a vagabond you know? I would prefer to know things far in advance but...I'll still show up barring anything crazy ^__^

And you guys are doing this all wrong. Keycon '14 or '15 should be at the real mecca of all things mechanical: Cherry HQ. Who wants to see MX switches made live? :P

Although on a more serious note....Signature Plastics visit would be really cool. Or CMStorm tour. Or WASDKeyboards. One of the big American vendors who have a storefront. Hell, another meet at MechanicalKeyboards.com's storefront would be incredible.

I would LOVE to attend a con at mk.  I missed the first mk get together and didn't get to spend enough time with Mashby.
