Overload? No such thing at this point. You joined GH, what did you expect?

All right! i3oilermaker - you said you were gonna bring the wife last time, so I brought my GF who ended up being the only girl there. lol. I got quite an earfull about the "nerd convention."

My gf said she'd come if I can make it, so maybe there would be...3 girls?

Cheers,

Updated the list, pondering purchasing a pair of Fostex T50RP's. If I do, they will be there.

vivalarevolución · « **Reply #78 on:** Sat, 23 February 2013, 08:03:37 »

You can add a couple vintage Apple boards to the list:

1. Apple IIGS with white SMK alps-mount switches
-Apparently, these switches the tactile version of the Monterey Blues

2. Apple Extended Keyboard
-Either Orange or Pink Alps. We'll see when it arrives at my door.

That keyboard list is just too much - I need a tranquilizer.

Hey Guys,

I will be giving away my Model M at the meetup! I have no idea how it's going to be done, could even be random raffle for all attendees. But just thought since I'm not using it and I don't really ever plan to again, someone else Might want to take it home with them!

Cheers,

CPTBadAss · « **Reply #82 on:** Sat, 23 February 2013, 15:01:15 »

Have people draw/write down random numbers and then draw them using random.org? Or you could just give it to me since I've never even typed on one!

I'm thinking of coming along, but I've never participated in something like this before. Those keyboards are making it very tempting.

If you're around, maybe I could possibly ask for a cable from you for my Filco? I know your thread says you're not taking orders but I'd love to meet the man himself AND get a cable ^_^

You can put me down on the list as tentative for attending. Looking at making this into a long weekend get away to Chicago for the wife & I

I'll bring along my "Super Custom" Wenge rest with Purple Heart inlay from The_Beast that people want to see.
For keyboards i'll bring most of the 1800 collection: the green G80-180HAU, G80-1863HUMUS-2, G80-1813HFU (Dolch), RAPTOR K1 ISO, and 2-4 more Mystery 1800's which are in the works currently

Oooooo, Cherry doubleshots!! And I'll also be in town for the weekend since the drive for me is a bit long. Plus I've never been to Chicago

Is this location gonna have enough space for all these people now? Or will we need to rent out McCormick Place?

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #96 on:** Sun, 24 February 2013, 12:00:02 »

Also, there need to be lots of table space for all the keyboards. If I manage to drive myself I might end up bringing the whole collection lol.

Just found this thread. Not sure what I'm doing that weekend, but given that I live in the area, put me down as tentatively attending. As far as boards go I don't have much, but I can bring a Dolch PAC 65 keyboard (and hopefully the mod I'm planning to get it working over USB will be ready by then). Hi-Fi - I have a Sennheiser PC360 headset, I think that counts (it's basically the 595's with a mic attached). Could also bring the WASD V1 in my sig if someone is interested.

Edit: I forgot to mention the cherry G84-4100 I have on order - will also bring that, too. ML switches!

Please do, I've never typed on a WASD keyboard

Ivan, did you see the pictures of the place? I agree that we may not have enough table space. Last time we covered an entire snooker table with 30 boards, but now we have a crazy amount of people etc. I think that Rinkside or similar may be in order if we can rent out a party room and pitch in a few bucks to Ski.
