Will@Drop · « **Reply #57 on:** Sat, 15 September 2012, 18:44:21 »

Not to mention the boards and people. Speaking of boards, were doing a poll right now to decide which keyboard we decide to carry.

Check it out if you've got a minute, would love some feedback.

Afternoonish? Try for 12 noon maybe?

Baudly, what say you?

sth · « **Reply #70 on:** Mon, 17 September 2012, 13:10:23 »

meet at noon, make it to menlo park by 1 at the latest probably?

Will@Drop · « **Reply #71 on:** Tue, 18 September 2012, 19:13:25 »

Does 1pm in Menlo Park work for everyone? I was thinking about that time and after seeing sth's post, it seems like that works for at least him anyway xD.

Gives enough time to get back to Berkeley in time for that movie aswell.

On a side note, our sale on WASD V1 boards just started. Check it out if interested in saving a little cash on those sets.

HaaTa · « **Reply #73 on:** Tue, 18 September 2012, 22:40:24 »

Cool. This is my free weekend (was planning on biking somewhere, but whatever

).

What I can bring (all that I have with me in California):

uTron
Clicky Fujitsu Leaf Spring
Very Rare IBM Capacitive Domes
1970's Honeywell Hall Effect
Sony Keypad (Vintage White Alps, linear)
Trackball with Cherry MX Whites
Vintage Marquardt Switches (closest thing to an IBM Beam Spring that I have with me)

Also, if someone doesn't mind (and lives sorta close), a ride might be nice...(I can haul it if necessary though). I live in Japantown in San Jose.

jwaz · « **Reply #74 on:** Tue, 18 September 2012, 22:45:08 »

Our meet up just eclipsed the others, can't wait for this!

Can't wait to try uTron/CST/EVERYTHING

hashbaz · « **Reply #75 on:** Tue, 18 September 2012, 22:53:47 »

HaaTa, don't think I've ever seen you post before! Can't wait to check out your awesome collection.

HaaTa · « **Reply #76 on:** Tue, 18 September 2012, 23:48:03 »

Alright boys and girls, looks like its time to firm up the details!

When: 1pm
Where: Menlo Park (I'll provide exact address to anyone who needs it via PM)
Who: Correct me if im wrong but I think we've got, JesuswasaZombie, sth, HaaTa, hasbaz, Quarzac, input nirvana, and a maybe from jpm804. Time to rally the troops!
What: ALL THE KEYBOARDS! (and the aforementioned food and beer)

Lets get rides organized, addresses sent to those who need, and any other logistic details sorted out.

I’m taking SmallFry’s post as a challenge, lets make it known that Chicago meets have got nothing on the SF Bay meets (also, giants over cubs every time).

sth · « **Reply #80 on:** Wed, 19 September 2012, 15:36:17 »

Quarzac · « **Reply #81 on:** Thu, 20 September 2012, 00:45:42 »

Coming from Oakland, bunch of young punks, cruising to posh neighborhoods, not working...

Sounds like a gang to me. Prollly a terrorist cell. Loose knit, flexible, internet savvy communiques.

Menlo Park...LOCK YOUR DOORS!

I'm managed to convince a friend to give me a ride to the meetup, in exchange that he can join the meetup too

.
He's definitely very interested in keyboards (bought a buckling spring keyboard just this past week).

Input Nirvana · « **Reply #93 on:** Fri, 21 September 2012, 13:41:44 »

Just saw shuttle on 747 do flyby of Monterey Bay Aquarium. Awesome.

Had I stayed home and watched from beach it would have been 2/10s of a mile away at the farthest. But I drove to a 'viewing spot' from the news...7/10s of a mile further away. Dang! If I had 10 minutes to notice I would have thought that through. But I got a video!

Great day!

Will@Drop · « **Reply #94 on:** Fri, 21 September 2012, 21:00:39 »
