And where would they put all their keyboard to show off/test them?

Without getting them robbed ofc, and still in a friendly atmosphere

Oh.. I am way too busy for a meetup during PAX.. ><

Aug 31-Sept 2 is PAX.

If anyone is interested in a set of the CCnG 90 key base set I was looking to sell them. Now that I know there are a bunch of GHers in the area I figure I'd sell them off to one of you, at the cost I paid of course. I guess a trade if possible too if you have something of value haha.

Kellybear · « **Reply #55 on:** Tue, 28 August 2012, 17:45:56 »

Does anyone want food for this meetup? There's a jimmy john's next door that I could get some catering from. I'll look into it more after this weekend if people are interested o-o

So, at these meetups do people wear nametags with their GH ID, to make it easier for everyone =D?

i just tell everybody im litster or reaper

Kellybear · « **Reply #57 on:** Mon, 03 September 2012, 03:23:40 »

Can I get a confirmed list of people who are going? :l

litster · « **Reply #58 on:** Wed, 05 September 2012, 18:49:45 »

hum, I didn't get any email notification on this thread and completely forgot about this. Let's pick a day in the next couple of weeks, preferably weekend.

Since it's been a while, could people reply to confirm interests in attending the meet up?

litster · « **Reply #59 on:** Wed, 05 September 2012, 18:52:39 »

And, if we meet, we could do a mini group buy of these keyboard storage boxes. It only make sense to share locally because it would be expensive to reship.

gimpster · « **Reply #60 on:** Fri, 07 September 2012, 11:39:20 »

Agreed. Let's pick a weekend and do this.

litster · « **Reply #61 on:** Fri, 07 September 2012, 11:48:15 »

How about 22nd Saturday or 23rd Sunday? Kellybear, could you still reserve the place you mentioned before?

Kellybear · « **Reply #62 on:** Sat, 08 September 2012, 22:12:36 »

Hi hi hi. Yes I can still reserve the place for the 22nd or 23rd. Choose which! I will go and visit when I am feeling better. I haven't left the house for awhile because of this cold I caught.

litster · « **Reply #63 on:** Sat, 08 September 2012, 22:51:55 »

If DanGWanG and harrison could make it in October, we can do it in October. Guys, can you be more specific on what days would work for you, especially DanGWanG?

DanGWanG · « **Reply #64 on:** Sat, 08 September 2012, 22:54:25 »

Sorry can no longer make it anymore :/ trip has been cancelled

Kellybear · « **Reply #65 on:** Sat, 08 September 2012, 23:09:13 »

Oh no! D:

Kellybear · « **Reply #66 on:** Mon, 10 September 2012, 17:17:48 »

I AM ALIVE AND FEELING WELL. Will go down tomorrow and reserve for the 22nd if everyone is okay with that date.

Kellybear · « **Reply #67 on:** Fri, 14 September 2012, 18:34:52 »

No response from anyone.. :l

poco · « **Reply #68 on:** Fri, 14 September 2012, 19:04:59 »

I'm interested! I'm in the Bothell area.

Kellybear · « **Reply #69 on:** Fri, 14 September 2012, 19:07:49 »

Oo, Bothell. I used to live there xD

poco · « **Reply #70 on:** Fri, 14 September 2012, 19:10:49 »

Hehe, Bothell's nothing special, but it's a convenient location if you spend time in both the East Side and downtown Seattle.

Kellybear · « **Reply #71 on:** Fri, 14 September 2012, 19:16:38 »

Yeah it is. I rarely ever go to the east side now that I'm back in north Seattle.

Rumudiez · « **Reply #72 on:** Mon, 17 September 2012, 01:54:00 »

I'm from Issaquah/Bellevue and want to go! I have another friend who uses the forums a little less often but he'll probably want to attend as well. I can bring a KBT Pure if anyone wants to see it.

sii92 · « **Reply #73 on:** Tue, 18 September 2012, 18:52:54 »

Are there any updates to if it's actually happening or not? I live in Seattle and can go 22nd but I'm guessing it's too late to reserve now?

Kellybear · « **Reply #74 on:** Thu, 20 September 2012, 01:09:45 »

Idk. I haven't received much updates from people and overall we haven't decided a specific weekend so I didn't go. :/ LIT WHERE ARE YOUUU.

litster · « **Reply #75 on:** Fri, 21 September 2012, 00:24:36 »

Sorry, I haven't been getting any new post notification so I didn't come back to check the thread until now. I would like to get a count to see how many people is actually interested at this point.

I take sii92, Rumudiez, Kellybear, poco, and gimpster are still interested. Anyone else?

duq · « **Reply #76 on:** Fri, 21 September 2012, 10:16:36 »

I'm in if I'm free that weekend

poco · « **Reply #77 on:** Fri, 21 September 2012, 18:17:19 »

Which weekend are we talking about? I'm still interested and have a somewhat free schedule on weekends.

Kellybear · « **Reply #78 on:** Tue, 25 September 2012, 03:34:32 »

I will be out of town October 2nd to 14th(going to California to visit some friends and watch a tournament), so I can't do those weekends. And I figure this weekend is a bit late for planning already, so how about after I get back?

litster · « **Reply #79 on:** Tue, 25 September 2012, 11:48:30 »

Sure. IMO the interests is too low right now. I think we should scrap it.

Rumudiez · « **Reply #80 on:** Tue, 25 September 2012, 18:49:24 »

sii92 and I are definitely still interested, but I have some weird work schedules the first two weekends of October, so I think the weekend after (20th) would be great.

BLJ Consulting · « **Reply #81 on:** Wed, 26 September 2012, 10:28:26 »

i didnt get on this thread in time to express interest; i could meet in Seattle; alternatively if there is interest i could host an open house at Signature Plastics - it is about 90 miles north of Seattle so that may be stretching the "greater Seattle" definition but thought i would put it out there. You can see lots of samples and get an idea of how the sausage is made.

litster · « **Reply #82 on:** Wed, 26 September 2012, 10:56:08 »

BLJ, do you work at Signature Plastics?

BLJ Consulting · « **Reply #83 on:** Wed, 26 September 2012, 12:24:19 »

yep, check my new members blurb for the story (spoiler, it is not very exciting)

litster · « **Reply #84 on:** Wed, 26 September 2012, 12:51:08 »

Cool! I would love to get a tour of SP's facility. Though I am not sure how many people would be willing to make the trek. Some folks from the great Vancouver, BC area may want to join in as it is very close to them.

BLJ, if we meet at SP, can it be on weekends? Do you guys get Friday off every week?

BLJ Consulting · « **Reply #85 on:** Wed, 26 September 2012, 13:08:00 »

lets see who we can get together. Seems like most meetups are on a Saturday so yeah if we can get a few people i'd be glad to come in and open it up for a few hours i live just a few miles from the shop.

Rumudiez · « **Reply #86 on:** Wed, 26 September 2012, 13:36:47 »

Woah, I would love to go up to SP! Just not the first two weekends of October, k?

BLJ Consulting · « **Reply #87 on:** Wed, 26 September 2012, 13:46:12 »

as long as it doesnt become a how-the-sausage-is-made type thing; i'd hate to be the one who spoils the joy of keycaps, i couldnt have that on my conscience

litster · « **Reply #88 on:** Wed, 26 September 2012, 13:49:52 »

BLJ, which weekends would work for you?

BLJ Consulting · « **Reply #89 on:** Wed, 26 September 2012, 15:02:55 »

sounds like there is some interest so lets sketch out some options. This weekend is too soon, several people said the 1st 2 weeks of Oct are bad so it is sometime in late Oct (i am assuming Saturday is the best day) or early Nov. I have to check a few things at home but maybe Oct the 27th?? I'll check at home this evening and get you an update tomorrow.

BLJ Consulting · « **Reply #90 on:** Wed, 26 September 2012, 19:27:51 »

ok, looks like Nov 3rd would be better for me. I'll float that as an idea to you guys - mid afternoon on Saturday Nov 3rd. Tour of Signature Plastics, kick around some idea for keycap design, mold a few parts, people can bring some boards if they want, etc.

mkawa · « **Reply #91 on:** Wed, 26 September 2012, 20:05:01 »

i am hugely interested in this, but wouldn't be able to make it until late nov most likely. ie, don't wait up for me, but i could very well be in for a round 2 or a smaller group with lit and hash. BLJ: since you're the injection tooling expert, do you think i could pick your brain about tooling costs for the SSK revival? http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=33430.0

sth · « **Reply #92 on:** Wed, 26 September 2012, 20:08:25 »

wow i would love to try and make it up for a tour. i am from the area and I have been planning to make it up to visit sometime.

Sure, i cruised thru your post but i am not 100% clear on the scope. can you shoot me an email with the CAD you have; or email/PM me with some contact details and we can chat about it.

litster · « **Reply #94 on:** Wed, 26 September 2012, 21:23:42 »

OK, let's shoot for November 3rd.

Folks, please reconfirm your interests. We will figure out carpool arrangement once we know who is going.

Kellybear · « **Reply #95 on:** Wed, 26 September 2012, 21:24:39 »

I am interested and would like a ride. :3

sth · « **Reply #96 on:** Wed, 26 September 2012, 21:25:42 »

won't make it up for the 3rd. have fun and take pics

maybe if SP and BLJ are willing we could shoot for another tour next year sometime. might be a hot minute before i can make it back to the northwest.

litster · « **Reply #97 on:** Wed, 26 September 2012, 21:38:25 »

I updated the title with the date and location (SP!!!). Hopefully we will get more interests because we will be meeting at SP's facility.

Rumudiez · « **Reply #98 on:** Wed, 26 September 2012, 22:21:00 »

November third would work just fine for me, I'll keep on the thread for more details as we determine times and whatnot. So excited!

demik · « **Reply #99 on:** Thu, 27 September 2012, 11:04:43 »

You guys are meeting in Keycap mecca?!?
