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.

Oooh Oooh Oooh!  I can help!  (I think you're still ride-less right now, correct?)  I'll be coming from the Fox Valley, so that's exactly on my way.  :)

Oh, and I'll be attending!  I only just saw this thread now.  This is so exciting.

Super sweet. I can meet you anywhere around the Kenosha area. Pm me with your deals closer to the meetup.

If you haven't been checking the attendance list (understandable), Smallfry's father has confirmed that he will be coming.

Sorry for the misleading location!  I'm currently in the fox cities for work, but I attend the UofM in MPLS, and since I've moved back and forth twice in the last 7 months I decided to put WI/MN as my location.

Again, I'm currently in east central WI, so carpooling with a Minnesotan wouldn't be beneficial, sorry.   :(  Wish I could help.

Okay @ CPT. And if you guys are interested in anything Halverson has, let me know or post in this thread so he knows to bring it... I have no idea what he has but his collection is pretty huge.

If anyone else has a GON case board you should bring it to show case it to everyone else and maybe convince them to get one. I'd bring mine but it's sitting naked until Miami is finished, and plus isn't anything special.

I'll bring all my keychains too!!

we will be at the UIC campus. not U of C (known internally as "The University", by the by; one side of my family is a U of C family.. long hilarious story i'm happy to share over PM).

sifo, all we want you to bring is pictures of yourself doing things.

I vote that we take no pictures except for pictures of Sifo doing things at Keycon.

Also I just booked my hotel room so I'm in for sure. Everyone should come meet me and fondle my KMAC. Just saying :P

So what else are folks bringing?  I'd bring some Model F goodness, but that is kind of pointless with wcass coming.  ;)  I'll probably bring the Phantom and a Poker with ergo-whites.  I also have a FC660C if no one else is bringing theirs.

I'll bring my Maltron, some vintage Apple boards, Ergodox, and maybe a board with Monterey blues.   And some stuff that I would like to sell.   Might have another keyboard is the next couple weeks.

Unfortunately, I stumbled upon this a bit too late. CM Storm will probably send some gear for this one as giveaway/prizes.

If there is another one of these and hopefully on a larger scale (Hearing SoCal!!).... CM Storm will be there in full force as we plan to grow with this community and gain feedback on current and future product.
