Hey everyone, it's been a while.
Now that I've recovered from Keycon 2014, it's time for another meetup (before mkawa leaves the area).
August 30th 2014 @ 1 PM - Massdrop HQ
1235 Howard St. #D, San Francisco, CA 94103
The usual, food and drinks will be provided. I think Massdrop has a TV now (albeit not as big as keyboard.io's :P), so I can make a presentation if there is interest. I can open up the floor for other presentations.
I'll try to bring some things that were not at Keycon (unless there are some requests).
I do know there were a lot more locals at Keycon than I usually see, perhaps someone can ping them so they know this is happening at the end of the month.
-
yah, that should work for me
-
Sounds good. I should be there.
-
Damn it. I'm going to be out of town again. For my brother's wedding, which I really can't skip. :/
-
Whaaaaaaaaat? You can go to the Massdrop centre and look at all their ****??
Goddamit, I want to live in America so bad :(
-
Whaaaaaaaaat? You can go to the Massdrop centre and look at all their ****??
They don’t keep inventory, so you can only look at a small fraction of all their ****.
-
But they have that market thing they do every few months don't they? I'm assuming you can buy stuff from there?
Sorry for taking this off topic, I'm just jealous.
-
Damn, off-topic on GH has lots of posts, already bumped off.
Perhaps someone can temp-sticky?
-
I'm in!
-
Labor Day weekend? Daaang Haata! In a week I'm starting to work in Long Beach but I want to come to Kiibohd, even if I'm 400 miles away. I'm almost certain I will make this happen.
Thanks for doing this for everyone.
-
you can fly from long beach airport to OAK for like nothing
-
Yeeeeahh!!!
-
Massdrop's office is only a block away from my dance studio, but once again I won't be able to go because I'm attending SacAnime that same weekend. Sadface. Maybe next month. .____.
-
Reminder, this is happening next weekend.
-
Anything crazy planned? I'll be there regardless.
Is it going to be the current MD location or the new one?
-
This will be at the current MD location.
Hmm, as for crazy things...dunno. I'll think of something :P
If mkawa wasn't leaving so soon, we would have delayed it until MD moved offices.
-
I'll be there, is that crazy enough?
-
I'll try to be there! Thanks for reminding me about these monthlies, Nirvana.
-
This is important. A lot of advancements, formative steps, and relationships are/have been forming. I'd suggest everyone reach out to other GHers for this meeting (if not more monthly meetings).
Hats off to HaaTa for his tireless efforts and "having all the keyboards".
-
I might be there, it depends on whether or not we have the money to get there. Property tax is a *****.
-
Ooooh, I might go as well... I would have to hitch a ride from someone in the East Bay, though :P
-
Throw it "out there" and ask in thread with location to see about carpooling. Driving can be pricey. My cost per mile running a full size truck at 15-s8mpg is relatively high, so I know.
-

Yes, yes it is.

BART?
-
there's a very good chance that i'll be driving directly from LA to this. if you're on the way i can give you a ride XD
-
I'm not going anymore : [ This past week, the hastiest Labor Day vacation plans were made by fam. Here I come Circus Circus : ' [
-
Ooh! this sounds fun! I owe the Massdrop guys lunch too! I'll swing by almost like 90% sure
-

BART?
BART -> Caltrain would get you to California Ave station, and Massdrop is about a 30 minute walk from there. I will know by this afternoon if I will be going (~65% chance) and if I do I can give three people a ride from the Millbrae BART station.
Edit: Apparently I am totally wrong about where massdrop is located.

Wait, what? I think the MassDrop HQ we’re going to is in the middle of SoMa in SF. Nowhere near Palo Alto.
1235 Howard St, about 2 blocks from the Civic Center BART stop.
-
Yep, our address is 1235 Howard St. #D, San Francisco, CA 94103. Please don't go to Palo Alto by mistake!

Oh, well that's easier. Did you guys move?
I will be there, btw.
-
Nowhere near Palo Alto.
The first time we met all the massdrop guys was when they had their house in PA
-
shockingly, i made it back up north today, and i have to get up to the city early tomorrow AM, so no rides. sorry dudes.
-
oh, and i found some fun avid workstation boards in LA that i'm going to give away at the meetup. i think one of them might have blue alps.
-
Glad there is location clarification, or I'd be wandering the mean streets of Palo Alto chowing down boba looking for Massdrop and a big stack of keyboards.
Address coulda been in the OP, for future reference. LOL
See you guys in a few hours.
-
Lol, sorry about that (was posted in all the previous topics :P).
Updating OP
-
That's ok, you expected Geekers to already know, look up on Massdrop, or use search.
Silly Haata :)
-
I'm bringing two of my Kinesis Advantages - the one with the trackpoint mod and the one with a humblehacker controller (since Input Nirvana asked nicely). If anyone is interested I'd be happy to open the them up so that people can see the guts and make fun of my soldering.
-
Can someone PM me a phone number I can contact if I get lost? I'll try to be there at around 2pm if something doesn't come up.
-
YEA! RAYNC!
Just left SJ. Where's best parking?
-
PM'd
-
How long is this event? I'll be there around 3:00PM-3:30PM to poke in and say Hi! :D
-
Yep, we'll still be here
-
Had fun guys, hope to see you next time!
-
That was super fun you guys! Thanks @massdrop for hosting!

Massdrop hosting at it's finest:

Leaving the meet up I found how generous San Franciscans really are...some indivudal politely left a random laser printer cartridge in the the back of my truck. I DIDN'T EVEN NEED TO ASK! A total freebie from the city. Wow. In the spirit of paying it forward, PM me if you'd like to have this most excellent laser printer cartridge. So awesome.

And yea, I know my camera phone is damaged and sucks, and yea, I'll be getting a new one in a month when Apple releases it, and yea, thanks fer ask'in.

I had a lot of pizza. Good times.

-
Sooo. Is there a meetup this month?
-
I'm really busy for the next few weeks.
I'll post about it soon, but the next meetup will likely be at Github (Oct. 25th or Nov. 8th).
-
YAAAAAYYYY!!!
I'm hoping to bring a unique keyboard and a valuable connection to GH. More options to make our own stuff!

Ok! I may have more fun toys by then. God, I hope I have more fun toys by then.

Subbed.
I'm now attending school in Santa Clara / San Jose, so I look forward to more bay area meetups. Keycon was a lot of fun...
I'll see you again Haata, Input Nirvana, hcry4, etc.

Only had one day of classes so far, so I can't really comment on the work load. But I am loving the area. Lovely weather and it's actually possible to get places without a 10min car drive. Most of the people seem pretty nice too.
