[NEW DATE] May 5th 2PM- 2nd Annual MN GH Meet Up & keycap pulling get together

[inlikeflynn]

After organizing the 1st MN meet up, I said I wouldn't organize the 2nd. But I need help with pulling keycaps from all these MY7000 boards so here we are.


Seeing as this is almost exactly a year since the 1st MN GH meet up, we'll call this the 2nd Annual MN GH meet up & keycap pulling get together


WHO: GH/DT/reddit/what ever members or friends want to attend and help
WHAT: 2nd Annual MN GH meet up & keycap pulling get together
WHEN: May 5th starting at 2PM and go until how ever long people want to stay. If people are still there at 6 and planning to stay longer, I can order in pizza from Jimmy's or somewhere else.
WHERE: West of Plymouth at my work office. Got approval to use the big training room on the weekend
WHY: Meet some new faces, chat again with the old ones and help pull keycaps for this GB: http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=41439.0

-inlikeflynn
-OrangeJewce
-The_Ed

Keyboards confirmed to be there:

Unicomp 105,
Ducky YotD
2x ErgoDox (hopefully!)
CM QFR Greens

Upon request:
Denon AH-D 5000s
Ultrasone PRO 900s

[SmallFry]

Hm... I'll ask my parents. If I come, I have at least one extra puller I can bring.

[The_Ed]

I hope I don't work when this happens... Do you have a definite time?

I have all sorts of stuff I could bring, just let me know what.

Quick/brief/incomplete list:

8000 (lasered, modded MY, still for sale...)
3494 (DS, titanium SB, and WNV) - My daily driver
3000LQCEU-2 (DS, aluminum SB after feng replaces the damaged one)
3494 (DS, Grey 39, aluminum SB)
1390120 (bolt-modded)
1390131 (about to be bolt-modded)
3700 (DS, Reds, apart right now)
Various POS boards in various stages of dismantlement, and of course their parts (DS/PBT, switches, stabilizers, etc.)
Raptor glowkeys and cherry metal keypuller
Full NIB 104+ sets of black cherry DS (No moogle reguired)
Switch testers (1 lubed with Krytox 200)
A NIB set of cherry black DS 1.5x mods and 7x spacebar

I should probably bring inlikeflynn and Halverson's Krytox 200 tubes... -> REMIND ME!

[OrangeJewce]

Hm... I'll ask my parents. If I come, I have at least one extra puller I can bring.

If you need a place to crash I have room.

Can someone give me a location so I can figure out how long the drive is?

[SmallFry]

Its about 5 from my place, so it'd be at least 12 from yours.

Recently I learned that laptop keyboards are the perfect donor plastic to fix cracked (broken apart) model M barrel frames. Has anyone else learned some interesting stuff recently?





I am the master of fixing broken keyboards. (Pay no attention to the ugliness)

[inlikeflynn]

^^^just put Plymouth MN in google maps and that will give you a close enough idea of drive time

[inlikeflynn]

We will try to pick the best time for everyone once we know who is going

[The_Beast]

Way too far


Dang

[phetto]

wish i could be there

[inlikeflynn]

If anyone has their work office or something else on the East side of the cities, it would be fine with me to have it there instead. That could cut at least an hour off the drive each way for our WI friends.
Restaurants or what not won't work here when I will have a metric $hit ton of MY7000 boards coming with me

[inlikeflynn]

live video feed?

I like this idea. Otherwise maybe a community center? I am still not positive I'm coming however.

I'm flying over. Crashing at orangejewce's place ^___^

[CPTBadAss]

Phetto, if you show up I'll find a way to get here too

[Halverson]

I wish I could say "if phetto makes the journey. So will I".
Alas father will be I'm town at that time.

[CPTBadAss]

What does a girlshark's father look like? o.O

[The_Ed]

There REALLY needs to be a set time (or at least a suggestion) so I can TRY to make sure I don't have to be at Arby's.

ROFL. I technically could hold 2, one of you get the floor with a sleeping bag though!

Ok a time as been decided on. It will start at 2PM and go until how ever long people want to stay. If people are still there at 6 and planning to stay longer, I can order in pizza from Jimmy's or somewhere else.

For the WI people SmallFry & Beast, someone else has offered up an alternative location more on the east side of the twin cities that would cut off ~50minutes drive time each way. The location wouldn't be as nice (its an actual warehouse), so we're not going to use it unless it means that both of you would be attending then

Interesting thing I learned this year #2. Cherry boxes make the perfect mortar stabilizers.



Come on guys, sharing is caring! Post some pics from this last year!

[HoffmanMyster]

Yeah this will be awesome if I'm able to attend. It is about a 80% chance right now! Is this kind of like the Chicago one where everyone brings a keyboard or two?

will be lots of interesting boards at this last minute meet up. I'll bring some 1800's of course. If the rest of my parts arrive this week, I'll maybe have another custom 1800 done and reveal it at the meet up 1st

I drove 6 hours for the Chicago meet keymaster. If this was 6-8 hours away from me, I would've come. According to SmallFry its around 12 and I don't have enough time off. Make moves, not excuses

I recently made the trip from Minneapolis to Cincinnati, and I can confirm that it is really far.  Certainly doable if you love driving, but it's a long one.

[whiteduck]

ill try to make this one - the last one was pretty sweet.  "Random guys meeting up at a bar carrying multiple keyboards and passing them around the table."  Exactly as awkward as it sounds, yet a good time.  Must have scared the crap out of the people at that place... lol
^.^

[Gupgup]

You can put me on the confirmed list

I'll be bringing the following if you'd like to update OP!

Siig Minitouch GH Edition
Poker with Steel Case and Lubed/stickered vintage blacks
IBM SSK

As I said earlier, also, I'll have a couple clacks and some other things

Inlikeflynn: what is planned on happening after the meetup in your office? Did you say that it could go on somewhere else?

Because my brothers graduation is May 4th but I'll still be able to get there at around 2 or 3 PM. Would it be worth coming if we were gonna hang out that night still?

we're not starting until 2pm, so you'd be right on time. We can stay at my office as late as we want geeking out and pulling caps. I'm sure if people are still around later in the evening that we could fine our way to a bar or 2 if we wanted to

I will have to wait and see how my schedule is for next weekend. Should know by Thursday.

[The_Beast]

Bad timing because I have quite a few projects/assignments to do before finals + it's ~5 hours away from Platteville
