Looks like another beercade opening:

I am in for this!

Are you located in Chicago MiM?

SmallFry · « **Reply #301 on:** Mon, 08 October 2012, 15:27:46 »

I liked it too. I really would love to come to another meetup, so I vote that the beercades are out. I'll come to anything, even BYOB if you guys want. I just don't want to get kicked out for being younger...

I was there on Sat watching my i3oilermakers blow it. I got some sweet Purdue gear as a consolation prize.

mistakemistake · « **Reply #304 on:** Mon, 08 October 2012, 15:29:46 »

Yeah, it was pretty disappointing.

Trent, i3oiler and I have thought about making this event more often than anually. We may have a winter meetup, or early Spring in 2013. Or...even earlier if people really want lol

Have it in the Spring. I'll be back early March from deployment.

SmallFry · « **Reply #309 on:** Mon, 08 October 2012, 19:52:27 »

Well, firstly, thank you! And secondly, I agree with the spring time.

I don't want a November one since I haven't gotten anything cool since the last one!

Thanks! Moonprismpwr just finished tonight! I had her draw that hat that I had at the meetup on a little me.

TheProfosist · « **Reply #312 on:** Mon, 08 October 2012, 21:29:36 »

Im of course in the question is where and when...

JC_III · « **Reply #313 on:** Tue, 09 October 2012, 12:18:14 »

Well if you do it in the spring time that way people can plan ahead of time and it wouldn't be so cold. We could probably have it at someone's house or somewhere we can rent like a hall or a nice big room. People would have to pitch in some $ not much though maybe $5-$10. Or someone posted that gaming room in Brookfield. As for food maybe a pot luck?

DanGWanG · « **Reply #314 on:** Tue, 09 October 2012, 12:48:32 »

As long as I'm not coordinating the next one, I'm down =)

I started a thread for the next one since I figured I could organize it. I have yet to see interest in that thread. Also, Dan, may you bring those dumpling/meat things no matter? I'd love to get an order of those again!

May I ask what branch you are in and where you are deployed to ?

vivalarevolución · « **Reply #324 on:** Mon, 03 December 2012, 16:12:51 »

Is this thing going to happen? And will it merge with the Midwest meet up that was discussed in a separate thread?

Also, I'm in Indianapolis but I'll clear my calendar for a date if we get one.

TheProfosist · « **Reply #325 on:** Tue, 04 December 2012, 07:24:49 »

I asked Deck if somehow we could host it at their HQ / or just get a group tour and they said no.

I'm not being bitter but I get the feeling the current Legend line only exists to boost their MOQ component orders for TG3 products.

Cherry is also in the Kenosha area (not the keyboard distribution center, to my knowledge) but they may host us.

Agreed, is this happening? I think this would be pretty cool. Are we still thinking about Chicago?

we shouldnt wait longer i say right after the holidays!!

DanGWanG · « **Reply #329 on:** Fri, 21 December 2012, 09:22:06 »

No one is taking any big leads to try and plan this out.

But for starters, can someone try and contact Cherry and see if they will host us? =)

The Ignite Network gaming lounge just moved to a new location and has tripled in size. I've spoken with the owners and they'd gladly be able to accommodate us for a meeting.

Don't have any pictures, but the place is HUGE now.

I called Deck months ago. They not only won't host us they are not fond of people taking photos of the place if you stop in to try boards at normal business hours.

Maybe if you were a TG3 customer buying backlit keyboards for hundreds of squad cars they would be more positive; they are none too interested in collectors/enthusiasts.

What poo poo heads...

What about Mechanical Keyboards / Tiger Imports in Tennessee? A little further and Unicomp in Kentucky is also a possibility.

2013 whiskey and keyboard tour?
