Post by: whiskerBox on Thu, 13 December 2012, 13:54:16: Hmm maybe we should do this in ATL, I wouldn't mind the 6 hour drive if we had a good meeting place. + then I could hit up some of the awesome music shops in town.

Also if we are meeting in a central location anybody that would drive by mobile (people from la, ms, fl) are more then welcome to carpool with me.

Post by: mashby on Mon, 11 March 2013, 12:49:20: May be a bit far for some people to travel, but I just wanted to put a plug in my the Mid-South (Nashville) Meet-up (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=38767.msg752558) that's coming up on April 6th.

Highlights include:
- BossBorot's Ultimate Switch Tester Winter 2013 US Tour (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=39254.0) keyboard
- Mr. Interface Switch Try Bag (http://deskthority.net/marketplace-f11/introducing-the-mrinterface-switch-sample-bag-t3189.html)
- Personal Tour of MechanicalKeyboards.com Showroom (http://mechanicalkeyboards.com/)
- Hands on with the Ducky 78 (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=40757.0)

If you're willing to make the hike to Nashville, it should make for a pretty fun day!
