ohhh i should be around that weekend. count me in!

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 ^_^

This looks like it's going to be the biggest meet ever (yes? no?)
I'm thinking of coming along, but I've never participated in something like this before. Those keyboards are making it very tempting.

I think Toronto's had 20 ppl. But it seems like its gonna be a blast. Come and try out new boards!

I think our count was more like......16/18

And then lost a few, and Tsangan joined for sushi.

I'm even tempted to drive down for this meet. I bet the drive would be fun in April.

I am willing to pitch in a few dollars if we have to rent a room.

I'd be happy to do the same

FWIW, when I came in for the last one I dtsyed at la Quinta. When we were looking for venue I called them and they offered a conference room for $25 for four hours. It may be worth investigating something similar. At least you don't have to drag your gear around the street. Any hotel would probably do that for ya and you have no parking issues.

Just a thought,
John

Shwing. I might be able to put another copy of AutoCAD on my laptop (it's free sucka). Solidworks I can't since they don't have free student versions, but I like to free model in sketchup before making real, hard number drawings in Solidworks/AutoCAD

You're doing it all wrong. I'm bringing napkins and pencils. All the best ideas are sketched first

Gupgup · « **Reply #127 on:** Fri, 08 March 2013, 21:57:52 »

I would love to come! Hopefully will have my car back by then.. :/

I could bring a Poker with a one of a kind Steel Poker case

Also, IBM SSK, not sure if these are on the list but I thought I'd say what I have!

I will probably be there. I'd say 80% certain at this point. It's about a 6 1/2 hour drive for me. I will bring a few keyboars to play with.

vivalarevolución · « **Reply #131 on:** Sat, 09 March 2013, 08:42:08 »

Just pulled the trigger on a couple more things that I might bring.

CST2545-5W trackball. Got tired of using this Apple Trackpad.

On another note, if anybody wants an Apple Trackpad, I got one that I'm willing to part with.

This keyboard, but I don't have a clue what it is. Looks like it has some White Alps. Only $10 on Ebay, so I said what the heck? Looks interesting, to say the least.

We are, It will be close to the current planned venue, I will keep everyone informed. I'm happy everyone is so exited about this.

The_Ed · « **Reply #134 on:** Sat, 09 March 2013, 15:43:40 »

If only it wasn't 6+ hours each way I would be more likely to go. But it's 2 states away... Hell if it was in Madison WI that would shave off like 3 hours of travel from the round trip.

Hmmm... If I do attend, what should I bring...
Too many expensive rare things that I don't want any greasy fingers on...
Switch testers for sure, but what else...
No, that's TOO geeky... (VesperSAINT knows, and is a convert)
Maybe my Grey 39 3494? (Yes, I have 2 3494's)
Stuff to sell if that's OK.
That modded G81 (removed helical springs) that fellow Minnesotans got to try out. (Yeah, It's STILL for sale...)
Is there anything else that you guys know I have that you think I should bring? (IF I end up going)

There's going to be so much stuff that I think only a few people should get their stuff out at a time. That way people can keep track of their stuff better.

Hopefully there will also be a second MN GH meetup as I will definitely be there for that.

I still don't know if I can even come yet, but I don't know if my bolt mod(s) will be done by then. (Hopefully I don't murder it/them...)
