If you have nothing to bring, please still come along and discuss, etc... (maybe you will leave with something

) I just called over to cyberarena to confirm, we are still on and they feel confident that they can accomodate all of us. I will be at cyberarena before 10 to set up, PM me for my personal cell number, so you can call me if you have problems finding the venue or anything. Looking forward to it!!!

What time do you think somebody will pick up from the Metra stop? I might take trains to get there so I can read a book on the train.

If you are stopping at the Great Lakes station, I can pick you up at 930 at the latest.

Thing is, the Metra doesn't get to the Great Lakes station until 9:40, and the train before that is at 7:46.

Nevermind, anyways. I'm just gonna drive all the way. I was looking for a way to relax on a train, but it will too much of a hassle.

Dianoda · « **Reply #260 on:** Fri, 12 April 2013, 14:50:38 »

So, everyone ready for tomorrow?

BTW, I'm also bringing my lubed G84-4100. And I may have swapped the MX Green switch from the spacebar with the MX Blue from the ESC key on my Dolch board because I couldn't stand having the spacebar heavier than the rest of the keys... it was starting to drive me nuts.

dante · « **Reply #261 on:** Fri, 12 April 2013, 15:20:04 »

if anyone has a uniform 55g topre or green switches please bring!

Awesome. Mine is not lubed, so I'm curious to feel the difference.

SmallFry · « **Reply #263 on:** Fri, 12 April 2013, 15:30:42 »

I think we'll have a few G84-4100's there. Just an FYI guys, I'm going to arrive at the earliest by 1:30, stupid ACT.

i3oilermaker · « **Reply #264 on:** Fri, 12 April 2013, 15:37:28 »

What time is everyone getting there...I was thinking I would make it closer to 11:30-12

keymaster · « **Reply #265 on:** Fri, 12 April 2013, 15:44:54 »

I'll be there around 11:00AM. I'm bringing my Leopold FC200R w/ Browns and an non-lubed G84-4100. Is anyone interested in trying out ATH-M50 headphones? I can bring that along as well.

Dianoda · « **Reply #266 on:** Fri, 12 April 2013, 15:55:51 »

I'm not 100% sure what time I'll roll in, 11am probably? Possibly earlier, just depends on what time I get home tonight.

tipo33 · « **Reply #267 on:** Fri, 12 April 2013, 20:01:40 »

Ok, taking care of last minute things... I thought my laptop would be repaired in time for the meet, but it isn't

could someone bring theirs for keyboard testing etc... Also there has not been that much intrest in the audio side of things. How many people really want to hear a Marantz 2245?

dante · « **Reply #268 on:** Fri, 12 April 2013, 20:42:29 »

We are going to be in an Internet cafe. I'm sure we could each chip in a buck or so to get some time on one of the computers already there.

SmallFry · « **Reply #273 on:** Fri, 12 April 2013, 21:59:40 »

I'll be in my SmallFry hat, Taylor Swift shirt and what not, should be an all our RED fest. I have 30 lbs of keyboards, and I'll be there at 1:30 or so. My girlfriend is also coming, so you may all meet her then. Ski, tell your lady that mine is coming if they wanted to go shopping, paint nails etc. I think my girlfriend is waiting to paint her nails until prom though. Also, if we go late I need to leave at 5:15 to pick up my tux at Men's Warehouse.

SmallFry · « **Reply #274 on:** Fri, 12 April 2013, 22:00:57 »

Oh! Also! How do you carry a duffel bag into the mall without getting called for a bomb? Do I show a security guard the contents and tell them my destination or what?

CPTBadAss · « **Reply #275 on:** Fri, 12 April 2013, 22:04:15 »

I'll let you know when I get stopped by the guards tomorrow
