My guess ... A 4:20 cap in two tone green.

[SmallFry]

Probably... or the mysterious Click Clack Statue...

[DanGWanG]

I'm bringing some Orange Chicken (spicy), Chinese Sausage fried rice, "AA" vegetable in garlic, Shanghai spring rolls (home made), Shanghai pan-friend buns (home made) and I'm going to find something special to bring for dante.  Maybe this home dish that I always ate:  pork + chive + bean curd, stir fried in sweet soy.

There's a lot of other things I'd recommend if you plan on going for dinner in-house.  I know mistakemistake is going today, so he'll have the pleasure of eating there =)  Unfortunately for us, we have to eat 20-30 minute old food =(

[jcrouse]

John ... Grab the kids dear. We're heading to Chicago.
Wife ... We don't have any kids. (note to self: no kids = buy more keyboard stuff)
John ... Alrighty then, grab the keyboards and cap. Let's roll. Chienese food awaits.

[i3oilermaker]

Got the Cherrys and the Tomatos!


BTW do we have any idea how late this is going?  Are we going to head somewhere for dinner?

I won't be able to hang out the whole day, probably just a few hours.  I"m thinking I'll need to leave around 430-5ish...

You should know. There "may" be an old MM goodie in there.

Where are you coming out from Dante?

[SmallFry]

I understand that, but where from that you're taking the train in? Might not be an all bad idea to see if my dad wants to ride the train, easy enough to ride the Metra.

[jcrouse]

Where are you coming out from Dante?

I'm coming to/from Union Station

I can drop you off afterwards if you wish. I'll have a car with me.

[SmallFry]

Or even Antioch or Fox Lake. Not sure, I'll check with my Dad.

[TheProfosist]

I wouldnt mind going it would be a bit of a drive for me but i think it would be fun!

[tipo33]

Are there gonna be any females accompanying anyone. I will probably drop the wife off at the mall before I get there.

My GF is going.

[SmallFry]

I wouldnt mind going it would be a bit of a drive for me but i think it would be fun!

You should definitely come!

[DanGWanG]

See you all tomorrow =)  I'll be the asian guy.

[jcrouse]

I am now at Brazzas. It was a 7 hour drive. I checked out the Golden Cue about 2 hours ago.

Hasta manana

[i3oilermaker]

Looking forward to meeting you fellas - I'll be the tall white guy.

[reaper]

See you guys there... I'll be the weird guy. 

[The_Beast]

Wish I could go!! Have fun and take a ton of pics ^____^

[tipo33]

See everyone there. I'll be the tall Russian guy.

sorry i know this is short notice but i couldnt get off work that quickly if only i would have caught the thread sooner.

Looks like i am heading down to mitsuwa on tuesday though as i got a day off and am heading for some fun with a friend.

[SmallFry]

I'll be the shorter dude in a SmallFry hat. (BEST purchase at Lids ever!)
When we get there, we may have to go over our names and screen names, just to clarify stuff. Also, I'm not sure about you guys, but I'm TERRIBLE with names, so forgive any misnaming now please. C'yall there!

[DanGWanG]

Last call on me bringing some additional stuff.

What I've currently packed:  KMAC, Filco ergo-Clears (by MMB), whiskerBox cable, SP ABS color ring, some green keycaps, a couple CC's, individual variety switches (blue, red, grey, clear, brown) with gold 62g springs

[SmallFry]

Hmm...Raffle tickets for your KMAC? LOL!

Orly?

[Trent]

I'm packing a fujitsu peerless that I'm probably gonna be raffling off, so no worries.

[i3oilermaker]

On my way should be there in about 15 minutes

[tipo33]

I get off work in 15min.  I'll be there in maybe an hour and a half.  Dan - are you bringing a Realforce?

[jwaz]

Live stream it!

[i3oilermaker]

Christ this place is far west

[DanGWanG]

GREAT SUCCESS

Below are some honorable mentions...

[Trent]

I think we get the award for having the most boards at a meet up!  Was awesome, must do again soon!



EDIT: Oh and everyone please give a round of applause and praise to DangWang for bringing the amazing asian cuisine!

[i3oilermaker]

So much fun!  Already looking forward to the next one.

Thanks Dan for organizing and bring delicious food!

[DanGWanG]

Thanks to everyone who attended =)  I'm glad it turned out really well!

Also, just in case anyone is interested, dante left me with a WYSE board that has THIN doubleshots.  The keyboard itself has difficulty working, but the doubleshots are in great condition and I have an extra Moogle kit.  Proceeds will go towards next Chicago meet!

[mkawa]

AWESOME!!! super jelly! too many things to make cohesive comments, BUT where'd the beta makeymakey come from?

Trent brought that =)  We had a live band going....of chimes, cowbells and all sorts of other sounds....

[tipo33]

+ Everyone was great and nice to place faces.  By the way, now that we are out of there - I feel more comfortable saying this: Ski's girl is HOT!  (You are lucky dude...)

+ Loved the Apple Extended 1 & 2 boards - can't wait for the Matias new switch!

Lol,  thanks.
My AEK 1 & 2 are my favourite boards, after my Model M's ofcourse
+1 for Dan bringing food, it was exellent.  (I may have taken some home after everyone left....  may)

[jwaz]

Did Dan show up ripped?   

[DanGWanG]

THE WORLD WILL NEVER KNOW

[SmallFry]

DanGWanG is the man!

+ The food was excellent - I didn't want to stop eating.  The stuffed buns were crack.

+ Everyone was great and nice to place faces.  By the way, now that we are out of there - I feel more comfortable saying this: Ski's girl is HOT!  (You are lucky dude...)

+ The KMAC is the boss.  Best stabilizer action EVER.  Unless I can get a fullsize Korean keyboard like this I'm probably done with Cherry.

+ People who think the 55g Topre is stiff are insane or have vaginas for fingers

+ Loved the Apple Extended 1 & 2 boards - can't wait for the Matias new switch!

+ Green Linear Alps (Zenith) are the $**T!

Indeed Ski's Girl is HOT. You should've told me that you liked the Green's so much, I had a bucket of them that I would've traded/sold.
