Los Angeles Meetup!
« on: Thu, 08 December 2011, 12:57:21 »
Hello Geekhack! I'm a new member here, but thanks to hashbaz/litster I have the opportuniy to try many different types of Cherry switches: http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?23914-Cherry-Switch-Tester-Holiday-Tour-2011!

In that thread, we saw that there are many of us in Los Angeles, so we decided to create a meetup!

When: TBD (January?)
Where: TBD

Details:
TBD (keeping the below for reference)
Quote
Bring any keyboards you may have! I will be bringing litster's numpad which has browns, blues, blacks, reds, clears, ergo clears, tacto clears, a grey, and a green. Park under the Barnes and Noble (free parking) and go up the escalators, and there is a bridge that goes across Westwood Blvd. There should be tables there that we can use.

Please post if you plan to come and post any keyboards you may be bringing!

People (and keyboards) that are coming:
- falerus: litster's numpad which has browns, blues, blacks, reds, clears, ergo clears, tacto clears, a grey, and a green
- reaper: some of his maaaaany keyboards, hopefully
- Kick: Leopold with clears, Poker X with clears, ergo clears, and reds, and a nice camera
- demik: has keyboards, might bring white leopold with dye sub \kl blue keycap set
- Tennobanzai (maybe): Buckling Springs, Cherry blues and blacks (I think)
- Skoobs (maybe): das ultimate with browns and orings and soft landing pads


No longer happening! Please do post in this thread if you are interested in a meetup some time in the future.

Koreans and Chinese are Asians.
But Koreans are not Chinese， and Chinese are not Koreans either.

I didn't say if they were Koreans or Chinese or even Asians. But looking at the writings on the window they're probably Koreans (who put my pic on Chinese taobao site :tongue:).

^ First I thought Canon makes a keyboard... then I wonder what type of switch does it has. lol



Also everyone should wear name tags so we know who's who.  I'm sure there'll be a few ripsters and noodles. =D

I might be able to go. I could probably bring most of my boards in my sig expect the JPN layout one. I really want to try out some Topres before I drop that amount of cash

I'm not sure how long this would last without people getting bored and leaving before everyone is together. It would be cool if we could do a LAN or something for a future event

Wow I just realized I put THIS SATURDAY and then put 12/17... silly me... and why didn't anyone say anything? lol
Anyways, it would have to be the 10th for me. I noticed there is some interest for later December/January so I'm not sure if you guys would rather have it later?
