EKW808
Dangwang
Absyrd

I'm interested, but it depends on the location. Being that some of us here at GH are underage, a bar might not be the best place... at least not until I get my fake ID. :))
As for what I have to bring to such a gathering, I really don't have anything too special... I guess I could just bring a bunch of my TKL boards. Either way, I could bring my camera and be the designated photographer! :D

Gottcha, bar is out...What about a burger spot or something in the city?
-
MMMMM BURGERS!!!! But yeah, anywhere that is easy to find will work for me. I'd be driving from CT, and I'm not at all familiar with NYC... but then I guess that's what GPS is for, isn't it?

Maybe it might be worth while to have the meetup somewhere that has parking. This means the city is out of the question.
-
I would be down, but it also depends on the location, if it would be a weekday, I'd be coming from work (in the city) and would prefer to stay in the city as I need to commute back to NJ. If it is the weekend, I'd most likely have to drive out.
-
October is good, and if we can get some FIRM dates, I can likely make it barring it's on a weekend.
I won't be bringing any keyboards, but looking forward to meeting you all =)
Also, bar is a bad place to meet. Liquid around keyboards could lead to disaster!
-
I'd love to come but it depends on the location and how bad my back pain is that particular day (how far of a drive or train ride my pain would allow). Would be coming up from the Philly area.
Let's do a meet-up in the beautiful, picturesque Meadowlands! ;)
-
I'd be willing to show up -- just to try out non-buckling spring keyboards. Will bring both my Model M's.
I can do NYC after 4 PM weekday, but weekend would be easier. I don't recommend NYC -- it's so chaotic. Palisades Mall has a Dave & Busters that might work, but I don't know if that's too far a hike for some.
-
Most likely will be on the weekend. Going to take the city off the list.
Maybe a Starbucks in brooklyn...I like me some lemon pound cake.
-
As long as it's easy to get to, since I have no car. I'd have to the take the train errrwhere
-
NYC Subways are grimey, but take you just about everywhere.
-
True. Anyone got ideas where we could meet up at?
-
DO NOT go into the city on the weekend, they have that stupid walking initiative where they close off streets and let ppl walk, wtf, what are the sidewalks for? just don't go into the city, you'll never be able to get out if you try to take the holland.
Meet somewhere in brooklyn. if you want the "trendy" places try the williamsburg area (near the williamsburg bridge) i just took my bridal party there for a nice japanese dinner.
do you guys need a place to meet up, indoors? if not you could always meet up in prospect park, they always have those stone tables ppl use for chess, my nephew says coney island has cleaned up a bit since the rides were closed down, so you can try that (just stay away from the big apartment buildings, which are the projects).
the weather is gonna turn cooler/colder rainier tho so i guess indoors is good, a food court? i really don't know of a food court in bklyn aside from the bklyn mall and that mall isn't really accessible (by bus only).
-
I'm thinking brooklyn at a coffee shop. I know a nice and big coffee shop borderline Brooklyn/Queens. Parking shouldn't be an issue.
-
Sounds good to me!

I'll get some info on that spot sometime this week....Thought we had more people from the tristate -_-
-
I am, but the likelihood of my making it anywhere more than 30 minutes away is slim to none.

I'd be hitching a ride with ekw808, so as long as he's OK with picking me up and date is good, I be there mon

Hahahahaa... they pay me better than you :)
-
couldn't pay ME to go to utah :P except moab maybe.
-
Interested! Would definitely like to meet some of you :D
Hopefully I don't have any midterms around the time that we decide on.

It will be on the weekend sir :)
-
Haha yeah, I meant hopefully not on the days after the weekend :D
-
Brooklyn would be good. I'll try to think of some potential venues.
Just an idea: http://www.nycresistor.com/ (http://www.nycresistor.com/)
It's a kind of hackerspace workshop -- figured some of them might be interested the boards themselves. I shot out an email to them to see if they would even consider it.
-
I might be down, depending on the time/day (my current schedule has me working tues-sat evenings with random tuesday or wednesday afternoons thrown in). I wouldn't have anything particularly special to bring to the meetup though (M$ Ergonomic 4000 v1.0, Filco TKL w/blacks + o-rings, Keycool mini84 w/blacks + o-rings - funny how the M$ seems to have a harder keypress).
-
I'd possibly be interested in a meet up. And I would try to have my lubed and stickered ergo clear mod done by then.
-
Don't really have anything special, I can bring my Realforce 87u in 45 and 55g and my HHKB if people want to try out topre. Can also bring my Dt 880/600, dt 770/250, fiio e17, and maybe a sennheiser momentium or v-moda m-100 if anyone is interested in headphones :P

I'm thinking October 13 or 14?
-
Either day should work for me. Have we decided on a final destination yet?
-
I'm thinking October 13 or 14?
Set it in stone(rs)!
-
Not set in stone but looking at those days...Shall we vote for 13 or 14?
-
Just wanted to say that I'm 100% going to be in NYC 13th-15th (or longer depending). So, make it happen for the 13th or 14th and I'm in!
-
Sunday might be a better day cause NY moves slightly slower than Saturday.
-
i can only imagine you guys strolling into an establisment, keyboards in hand haha. you are going to get a lot of pricesless, awkward stares

-
it'd be sweet if you guys could find a internet cafe or something, that would be much more practical. wish NY wasn't 5 hours away :(
-
14th is okay as long as I can be near a TV at 4pm.
I can bring my complicated white alps ergo (you've never felt tactile feedback and heard "ping" like that baby has), cherry my "ghetto super light reds" modded g81-1800 (can basically breath on it and register keypresses), some of my QF Rapid paintjobs, and a mess of different switch types/combos on my wood "test board" (brown stem + black spring, ergo clear, pandas, ghetto greens, ghetto red, etc).
-
if you plan to meet in anywhere but manhattan, then it doesn't matter if it's saturday or sunday
-
I'm gonna try to bring my Cheat, but no guarantees!
-
Well Oct 14th is the day. Woot. Will get the location info(cafe)
My cheat is Otw so I can bring that if anyone wants to test it out.
-
I'll probably just bring my kmac and a couple CC's since boost is already bringing his mx mini.
-
I'll bring my Northgate Omnikey Ultra T.
(but no touching.)
:))
Not reply from the hackerspace people. :(
-
Well ****, if you guys are bringing all the big guns, I'm more than willing to keep my cheat at home =)

Wish I could be of more help, but I'm from northwest CT and am not very familiar with the NYC area...
-
I haven't really been outside of Manhattan, but we're talking about NYC here. Light one up and get creative, I'm sure there's plenty of places for weirdo's like us to hang out.

True, going to drive around today and look for a spot :)
-
I'll go anywhere as long as it isn't a ***** driving there... either way I'll be driving about two hours to get to where ever it is we are meeting.

I can do Sunday, but not Saturday. Trying to think of a good spot that's near a railroad.
-
It is on Sunday the 14th. We just need a location now... and a specific time would be nice too.

Should be good for sunday, depending on the time. Hopefully it'll be a place accessible by mass transit too :D

If we can start slightly earlier in the day and end slightly earlier in the day, that'd be awesome =) Going to Food Network's Food Cart Challenge event or some **** around 4pm

Agreed, I need to take the LIRR later during the day to get back to school.

Still can't find a spot to chill at. Wtf. Anybody got a nice place to meet at?

We can go to my dad's dim sum restaurant at sunset park, Brooklyn. But I dunno if we really want to bring our keyboards there xD.

Why not?
-
If people are interested, then i'll see what my dad can do... most would probably be reserving tables for us.
Edit: it's a pain in the ass getting there from the bronx though :(
-
Too bad this weekend isn't available -- Maker Faire in Queens, easily accessible via railroad, and plenty of hackers, and techy types abound.
-
If we do decide on dim sum, lets get a head count so that I'll know how many tables we'll need.
-
Who's in?
-
I'm in bro
-
Need some more responses as we're getting closer to the deadline!
Here's the yelp page for my dad's restaurant (http://www.yelp.com/biz/east-harbor-seafood-palace-brooklyn)
-
From what I gathered, it looks to be 6-10 people...
-
No Wifi??? wtf man...
jk, seems like a nice place. Looks like it'll be a ***** driving there though...

I believe so, i'll give my dad a call later tonight to confirm.

Great, now we need the address and a time for the meet. I'm thinking 11ish AM?

Address is right on the yelp page :P

I'm down, and wow holy **** haha I go to that restaurant all the time, it's prolly the most legit one in the area.. small world.

There's alot of street parking, and it shouldn't be that bad on a Sunday, it depends on what time we are meeting to get there. There are separate VIP rooms available in the back, but even still its just a large enclosed room depending on whether or not they set up the partitions, but usually not for ease of the dim sum carts. But if we could get a room it would still be alot easier, and easier to avoid the awkward stares.
-
Haha indeed it's a small world... my dad can get us the VIP rooms no problem! ;)

So time for fair warning I guess.... I'm there. :P
Filco TKL browns w/ Imsto's thick green on Grey PBT.
Also have a CM Storm QFR / Reds untouched if someone wants to play in the cheap end of the pool.

Would anyone happen to have a Nokia Lumia 900? I'd like to try out the phone, as I'm interested in getting the 920.
-
Just an FYI, I may or may not be coming... I have to wait till the end of the week to find out for sure though.
-
^^ What is the issue looking to be resolved?
-
Anyone know if the place serves beer/liquor?
-
They have beers, not sure about liquor but it is not a place to get drunk at 11am.

Nice, but I don't have my kbs assembled.
The meets at 11am, do we all just meet at the front?
-
Yeah lets just meet up at the front. I have a friend and my uncle tagging along, hopefully there will be enough seats xD
Someone needs to wear something that stands out, or hold out some sort of sign so that we know that we'll be talking to the right people.

Ahem, I can take care of that... I'll be the only person in the city wearing a Boston Red Sox hat! :P
But seriously, I might be able to think of something... if not, look for the corpse of a Red Sox fan outside on the curb! lol :))

Just noticed this thread now.
I'd like to go but why so early? I barely manage 11 AM for work, doing it on a weekend is masochism. :(
-
People have things to do in the afternoon. I pretty much need to take the LIRR back to school once i'm done with the meet up.
-
Well I'll be there as well. I don't really have any rare keyboards but I do have a black Filco MJ1 w/browns that I'd sell/trade if anyone is interested. Also have some extras of keycaps from many of the recent group buys.
-
thegunner, So tomorrow at the meetup when we get to the restaurant assuming we have a room, we need to know who's name the room is under, just to avoid confusion. Is everything all set?

-
Alright so what's gonna happen is that I'll get there sometime around 10:40 or so, maybe a little bit earlier. We'll wait around for people until around 11pm. Then we're gonna go inside and I'll let the person at the desk know that we're here (my dad will have already told them about it), then we'll go into the VIP room once the tables are freed up. Hopefully we won't have to wait too long for it.
When you enter the restaurant, you'll see the guy calling out the table #s and stuff. To the left is a hallway which leads to the VIP rooms, and with the bathrooms at the end. So if you're running a bit late, just go into the VIP room and you'll find us there.
I'll be the skinny asian guy carrying a red samsonite bag. Btw since this is the dim sum restaurant, how are we gonna split up the costs for whatever we order?
Questions?
-
Somebody take a picture of ripster so gunner can be happy.
And take pictures. Tons of them. And not of just keyboard we have already seen.
-
Haha, did ripster ever give his picture out to any?
-
Dont know, don't care.
Anyway, hope you dudes have fun!
Remember, we know what keyboards look like already. And CCs. And keycaps most of us already have.
-
What demik is saying, is that he wants to see photos of men holding keyboards.
-
No?
-
"Remember, we know what keyboards look like already. And CCs. And keycaps most of us already have"
That leaves out everything but the people holding the keyboards ;)

Actually... he might want pictures of the food or the restaurant.
Peace demik?
-
no..
You know exactly what I mean >.>
Pictures of the meet up, not just the keyboards.
Of the whole shebang really. Food, venue, ppl, keyboards.
Do it better than one picture of a table full of keyboards (LOOKING AT YOU CHICAGO). Even if you block out faces.

-
So if you guys haven't figured out by now, I never showed up... I took a few laps around the block looking for a parking spot, couldn't find one. By this time, the place was totally mobbed, and I suddenly felt like I didn't want to be there (too many people) so I said "Screw you guys, I'm goin home!" And I did.
Just for next time, let's have this someplace else... like not in the city. After today I realized that I absolutely HATE the city and would very much like to avoid going there at all costs.

I drove around looking for parking for like 30 minutes...bubble tea = EPIC

So Chicago still has you beat eh? :P

Hmm, took me 5 minutes to find parking... just gotta be willing to walk 1.5 blocks.
Damned tolls cost me more than lunch and the food was really quite nice.
-
Subway = no parking. MTA FTW (ugh...can't believe I just wrote that)!
-
Taking the train+sub would have cost me more on tix than I spent on tolls/gas. Still would even if I paid for parking.

Man, I really like that bubble tea ^_^

What flavor?
Thai iced tea w/ boba is the ****

Haha yeah the restaurant is always like that on sundays, except maybe when there's bad weather. I'm glad you guys enjoyed the food! It's the least I could do, since I don't have anything remotely rare. Hopefully we get more people next year though!

You guys got bubble tea after I left?! I missed out, where did you guys go? :(
The food was awesome, thanks for organizing it there Gunner. BTW were we actually paying full price or discounted? Because it was really cheap.
The bubble tea place was called TBaar. I got coffee bubble tea, which was delicious.
-
I have no idea if that was full price or discounted, i'd have to ask my dad about that. One reason why it wasn't expensive was because we didn't order anything other than dim sum.

I've had Dim Sum in Chinatown and let's just say the bill looked a little different. Probably paid about triple what I did today and that was some years ago too.
-
shifts, caps on that kmac mini look drunk
-
I didn't realize how sick the titanium cases were til i tried them today. We seriously need to find someone who can make a good titanium realforce 87 case!
-
they aren't titanium o.O
aluminum cases
-
erm... whoops! Titanium would be sick too xD
-
and the cost would MAKE you sick
-
It would... considering the costs for the ones that are currently on ebay right now.
-
quality over quantity :)
of course bay area meetup had both :D
-
So did Chicago! Mwhahah none shall beat Chicago!
-
Just wanted to say it was a pleasure meeting you all. Im sorry I didnt bring any keyboards or more enthusiasm :/ I was out till 6am the morning of then ekw808 was at my door 4 hours later lol...I rolled out of bed probably still drunk :)
-

MOAR MEETS
-

Agreed. We're already planning the next one, aren't we? =)
-
east harbor has good dimsum, is probably 10-20% more than some places in chinatown, but we're talking 1.50 per dish versus 1.75, east harbor also has valet parking righ the left of the restaurant, just pay the guy a dollar or 2, tho whenever i'm in nyc and friends want to do dim sum, i meet with them at 10am to avoid the mega zerg.

I walked by two other bubble tea shops from the same company on the other side of the bridge. It must be somewhat a popular drink.

sadly, they don't all taste the same.
i've gone to a place where the tapioca balls were disgusting.
-
Damn I missed this without even knowing there were meet ups! When's the next one? :D
-
I'd vote for waiting on it not being frigid outside.

I was thinking sometime around spring.
-
Oh good point haha..
I'll be looking out for a new post at the end of winter then, I'll totally be there :)
-
I'll likely be around again...
-
With more goodies for show and tell? :D
-
I think he'll want to show off one he himself built at least :) :nudge:
-
I'll be in this time now that I'm fairly sure that alaric isn't an axe murderer :eek: :)) ;)
-
Hmm. Would anyone possibly be interested in a meetup at my place?
I live just outside Philly. I can provide beers and food.

Damn, forgot to show you the chainsaw collection. You saw what I did to those trees tho ;)
-
That reminds me I gotta start looking into a soldering wizard apprenticeship...
I live in north NJ but I wouldn't mind driving for a meet, having more people in the car would be more fun though lol

:eek:!
No more local keyboard demos!? :D
-
Having removed 1 of the boards from my amazingly large list it seemed sort of silly to keep the offer in there too... Besides you're the only one that's taken me up on the offer.
-
I may host a meetup after the holidays :)
-
If it makes you feel any better alaricljs, I would've taken up your offer if I didn't own a Filco before joining GH :D
