I'm up for it.
-
I might be able to come if it's between 1st-3rd September or late August. Can't guarantee anything though.
-
I'm in the US of A but I think I could make a trip to visit the meetup and Tipo33's new pad. Add my as a "highly tentative".
-
Drat, the dates are no good for me. Hope you guys enjoy it, though!
-
I can probably make it if it's on the weekend, I'm only a 10 minute train ride away from Paddington.
I've cut down my collection big time, but can bring;
Filco w/browns and Cherry POM caps
Phantom w/clears and dyesubs
Poker w/blacks and Retro DSA
Filco Tenkey Pad w/ clicky whites
HHKB2
Filco Zero (XM's I think)
Rapoo v7 (fake Cherry yellows)
Cherry Raptor
-
I can perhaps join aswell. We can finally hug eachother RougeR. :D
-
My body is ready for all the pictures of the sessy ISO boards. I wish I could be there. Trent, take me with you!
-
Coming up from Italy, for sure. What I will be able to bring will be fairly limited considering I will have to fly.
-
Just bring the one board no one else will have Tibro: Full Metal Filco. That'll be fun getting past airport security :P

Lol, I will probably not bring it for that reason alone. lol. I do have a lot of ISO boards though, and depending on if anybody wants a model M, I may bring some of the ones I own.
-
looking good so far, and yes i will aim to put it on a weekend! so either the 31st and 1st or the 7th/8th, i need to check my commitments as well for which. also ideas for a venue??
-
Can someone help me finding a cheap hotel in london?

Can someone help me finding a cheap hotel in london?
im hoping to stay with my cousin, could ask if he will put you up? no promises.
-
That would be cool!
I'm thinking that this could be a cool trip =) €50 flight ticket means more beer. :D
-
still need to sort out venue and perhaps hotels for sharing or a hostel, i may stay with my cousin for a night or so, need to clear it.
I also intend to get jolly drunk with those who are up for it.
ideas welcome.
-

****kk thats cheap, its going to cost me more on the ferry!! or to fly.
will sort out dates and ask my cousin
...your post died.
-
I can bring HHKB Pro2, HHKB Pro JP Type-S, and perhaps a Raptor K1 (1800).
The raptor could be given away to the one that drinks more beer than me. huehue :D

you live in london still right..NO EXCUSES!
-
I could bring an AT102W and that's it.
-
im in assuming the date ends up being something i can make
-
and depending on if anybody wants a model M, I may bring some of the ones I own.
How much would you be selling them for?
-

Ugh... depends on the exchange rate. My general price when I lived in Chicago was 40USD.

40$? :o
Would that be for one that's in good condition or would it need quite a bit of work?
-
That's £26. If I can afford to come along then I'll probably buy one off you.

Good condition, refurbished by me. Tipo is selling the massive stock I had from my 4 pallet buy, for mutual gain for both of us.
-
For £30 I would definitely like one. That sounds like an awesome deal.

US prices are different than Euro prices. Selling prices aren't likely to be £30... Too low... Gotta make $ back on the investment.
-
That last post sounded horrible. I'm sick, wiping various face holes, and grumpy.
We can make a reasonable deal :)
-
Trent is correct, we will figure out an adjusted price, keeping shipment and transportation in mind. It will still be cheaper than buying one from eBay or a non-geekhacker. From what I have found though, the supply of BS boards is pretty low in Europe, and the prices reflect this.
-
That's fair enough. £30 did sound a little cheap. I'd still be very interested as long as the prices are fair. I'm guessing these are ANSI then? 101 or 103?

ANSI 101
-
bump who else is in???
-
im in for a model m, i actually wish this meet was happening sooner now, i wants one
-
I might be able to make something, not sure what I'd be able to bring since I may be about to completely change everything up.
I'd also potentially be interested in a Model M.
-
This sounds interesting, always hard to find people who are interested in keyboards, preferably weekends or evenings as I am working in the day.
I own a few and do want to try some more switches, especially a topre switch! but also other alps varieties.
The most intresting thing I can bring is a Jarltech 8011TWE which has some sweet doubleshot spherical numericals and mx blues: http://imgur.com/a/4DWdu
Other than that I own pretty bog standard stuff:
- 2 Filcos /w mx browns and ducky PBT caps, 1 with o-rings (for work)
- Black Dell AT102W with Black Alps
- 1987 Model M with 4 missing keycaps (up arrow, `¬¦, 8*, -_)
- 2 Model M2 (one with broken spacebar, one fully repaired with replaced capacitors (which I have spare if anyone needs some)
-

Yeah sure, you can just have it I need to repay the karma gods as the one I fixed up full I picked up for free ;D especially since you are organizing!
All the keys register apart from the pause button, I have done a full case clean and replaced a couple of springs, I am probably responsible for breaking the spacebar as I didn't know they use bloody plastic as a stabiliser :'(
(http://i.imgur.com/xmTMvbgh.jpg)
I also stole the screws from the bottom for my other M2.
I think the capacitors are on the brink of going, probably good for parts / restoration, but the spacebars are damn flimsy and impossible to find..
Lets get the thing organised and confirmed!

great, i appreciate it, I just need an m2 for spares for my m15 and perhaps as a future project board to mod or to work as a guinea pig.

-

-
I already said so on DT, but I'll be there!

-
I start my new job on the 2nd of september, so im not quite sure what to say or do untill i know the situation regarding time off/holidays with them. we could meet in the new year??? i dont know, i DO really want this to happen, how do i create a poll?
-
Hey, no worries. Any time after that will be fine for me as long as it's at the weekend or wednesday which is my study day. I really do want this to happen!
Then again, how would anyone else feel about the end of August? I could be down in London then.
Also, Northern meet up required. :D
-
Second the Northern meet up. A ferry from here takes me to Liverpool in 2 to 3 hours.
Lets arrange one at a time, don't want to cut numbers down if we can help it.
-
can u do this for germany france ? please :D
-
im goin to be posting a lot this week as i finally have free time, i start new job monday and we can go from there, sound okay to you lot?
evolyn, id be happy to do a germany/france one at somepoint, im likely going to be there soon anyway.
-
I start college next wednesday, something before that would be nice but quite difficult for me too I suppose.
After that point, I have a day off on wednesday and the weekends and school holidays. It's up to you really RougeR. :)
-
Is the party still on? If you are doing it on the 7th, then maybe you could have a live-chat in the evening with HaaTa's party in San Francisco (area) that is also on the 7th.
-
IT WILL HAPPEN I SWEAR
Soon :))
Rescheduling for Oct / Nov? I want this to happen.
-
Same, hoping I can still get to London though.
I should be able too. I have more free time than I expected with college so I might be ok!
-
heya, update:
I want to do this still, but i have just started a new job and am crazy busy either working or leaning stuff.
Not sure whats happening with my holidays either, im going to try and get back into the forums this next week and also try to see if i can find time off work and organize this properly.
The original plan for early september was sound, but i got this job and it started on the 2nd so there has been no chance of me taking time off. Hoping to get back into the forum, but for any who wish to contact me im always on irc :).
-
I'm having some paperwork issues with my ID documents right now. I can't go anywhere currently. :(
-
Any updates ? :p
-
Who's up north here? We could try and have a smaller gathering too. :)
-
guess i best reply, basically dropped off the forums for a few months, work has been manic and i couldnt get any time off till febuary, id still entertain a get together of a few people then...if i get back into the hobby.
as always i can be reached on irc.
-
And if anyone's ever in the Lancashire area they're free to drop by. :D
-
Lancashire eewwwww
