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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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...
