yes, i would like to come.
i could bring my custom buckling spring boards.

iMav · « **Reply #101 on:** Mon, 01 July 2013, 01:44:55 »

I would absolutely LOVE to be there. However, Aug 17th is the ONE Saturday I am unavailable. Any other weekend a I'd definitely be down there...

How set in stone is this date??

mkawa · « **Reply #102 on:** Mon, 01 July 2013, 06:57:44 »

the room at UIC is courtesy a good friend of mine. he has reserved the room already, so imav, please touch base with the scheduling thread and give chris a set of dates that you _can_ make it please! i don't think it would be acceptable to have THE KEYCON without you there! (i'll bring some raw beef larb from sd

)

Thimplum · « **Reply #103 on:** Mon, 01 July 2013, 09:26:49 »

*sigh* I'm in the same boat as iMav.

EDIT: Actually I can make the 17th.

EDIT 2: Actually I mgiht not. I'm tenitave.

Trent · « **Reply #104 on:** Mon, 01 July 2013, 11:23:46 »

Mark me as a maybe/tentative. I may be unable to attend.

CPTBadAss · « **Reply #105 on:** Mon, 01 July 2013, 11:39:03 »

Please don't move this back to the last week of August...I'm unavailable then

So both of you are coming by boat?

I'd imagine iMav isn't so bad to be stuck on a boat with.

Same here, I'll be moving near the end of August

Thimplum · « **Reply #109 on:** Mon, 01 July 2013, 13:37:51 »

yep. We're sailing down the Mississippi.

wcass · « **Reply #110 on:** Tue, 02 July 2013, 23:01:30 »

are we date positive? August 17 2013 - at what time? i need to buy airline tickets.

CPTBadAss · « **Reply #111 on:** Wed, 03 July 2013, 07:35:46 »

No, the date might be moving since I think we're trying to accommodate iMav.

Trent · « **Reply #112 on:** Wed, 03 July 2013, 11:59:53 »

So.... what's going on with the assigned day? Moving? Staying? Is there a consensus?

i3oilermaker · « **Reply #113 on:** Wed, 03 July 2013, 13:07:56 »

We're trying to work that out now...should have a final decision soon

Somebody in my town canoed down the Mississippi. It's doable.

Please do. Would like to schedule ahead of time hoping that I can attend

zoolzoo · « **Reply #117 on:** Sun, 07 July 2013, 06:32:24 »

Put me down as tentative actually. I might make it a mini vaca....Always wanted to check out Chicago, Ive only driven by it!

Sifo · « **Reply #118 on:** Sun, 07 July 2013, 12:16:27 »

Hopefully I can still attend :O

I think even if Halverson doesn't go which you know, he better go, I'll find a way to get there.

Thimplum · « **Reply #119 on:** Tue, 09 July 2013, 10:50:49 »

Do we have a date yet?

i3oilermaker · « **Reply #120 on:** Tue, 09 July 2013, 17:03:36 »

Sorry for all the confusion on the date - we wanted to try to include iMav, but it wont work this time around.

THE DATE STANDS AS THE 17th.

THIS IS FINAL - PLEASE ARRANGE YOUR TRANSPIRATION AND CONFIRM IF YOU CAN MAKE IT.

CPTBadAss · « **Reply #121 on:** Tue, 09 July 2013, 17:09:58 »

Noooooo, I wanted to meet the man himself! T_T

Sucks about iMav

Anyone mind picking me up at the train station? I was going to take the kenosha train in. Unless someone wouldn't mind picking me up around twin lakes, kenosha, burrlington or around that area.

SpAmRaY · « **Reply #123 on:** Tue, 09 July 2013, 17:26:49 »

I wonder if I could talk my wife into it, its about 5 hours either driving or by train....she has always wanted to ride the train....hmmmmmm

mkawa · « **Reply #124 on:** Tue, 09 July 2013, 17:37:39 »

what about time?

direct flight from FLL to ORD arrives at 2:25PM. unless someone wants to pick me up, i'll take the CTA and get to UIC and be there around 4ish. is that late or early for this party?

i3oilermaker · « **Reply #128 on:** Tue, 09 July 2013, 23:33:09 »

This is likely going to start late morning and go to late afternoon - 4 might be a bit late, but in sure people will be hanging around and going out to dinner.

CPTBadAss · « **Reply #129 on:** Wed, 10 July 2013, 07:39:56 »

I'm still in. And I'll be doing giveaways so people should show up just for that!

i3oilermaker · « **Reply #131 on:** Wed, 10 July 2013, 08:14:35 »

Give aways...I like that idea

I did give everyone free brushes at the last meet...

:: ponders ::

CPTBadAss · « **Reply #132 on:** Wed, 10 July 2013, 08:17:00 »

Last meet I gave away a bunch of key caps and a G84-4100. This meet I plan on giving away a wood wrist rest, more keycaps, and maybe a keyboard.

Those brushes were sweet i3oilermaker. I'm still using mine

mashby · « **Reply #133 on:** Wed, 10 July 2013, 13:57:08 »

Is there an agenda, or is this more of a meet-and-greet?

I've got a topic if we're doing presentations and what not.

i3oilermaker · « **Reply #134 on:** Wed, 10 July 2013, 14:17:47 »

I would like to do presentations, but also have plenty of time for meet and greet.

Agenda will be coming...

rarar · « **Reply #135 on:** Wed, 10 July 2013, 14:18:47 »

Will there be tables for people to set up their collections on?

Yep! and Vendors to sell goods

CPTBadAss · « **Reply #137 on:** Wed, 10 July 2013, 14:44:03 »

i3oilermaker even has this fancy Square device where he can swipe your debit card on his phone. No cash needed! Talk about a wallethack...

tipo33 · « **Reply #138 on:** Wed, 10 July 2013, 14:49:58 »

I can't make it

I do plan to attend Keycon '14.

I prolly can. I've gotta double check the date, I think I may be doing an all day cubs game thing (planned months ago).

Swing! That's great. I don't really feel like lugging all my stuff on the train!

But if Trent is driving through it might be easier for him (I pmed him)

CPTBadAss · « **Reply #142 on:** Wed, 10 July 2013, 22:06:26 »

Well let me know if he falls through. If I'm driving I don't mind coming to get you regardless of where you're at. I'm already driving 6 hours, a few extra minutes out of my way won't hurt

mashby · « **Reply #143 on:** Wed, 10 July 2013, 22:14:04 »

I plan to drive up as well. Finalizing the details now, so now you have yet another option. :-)

I'm coming up from Nashville, so I'll probably drive up that evening. Since the con starts in the morning, there just isn't enough time for me to get there if I drive.

Yeah that's a good 8-9 hour drive!

I don't know what I was thinking.

Glad you got it taken care of m8. My goal is to drive less, and given that I live about 10 minutes away from the event I think I'm doing a pretty good job lol.

CPTBadAss · « **Reply #148 on:** Thu, 11 July 2013, 14:20:47 »

News flash: I'm no longer driving so I can't pick you up The_Beast. TRENT, STOP BEING SO LAZY

Yes I'm still attending, I just won't be driving. ^__^

Melvang · « **Reply #149 on:** Thu, 11 July 2013, 16:11:30 »

Can we get an actual address for the place of the event for driving directions?
