Anyone in the NY/NJ area planning on going? I'm thinking about it, but It would be nice to travel with someone else. Travelling alone is boring.

This is why it is important to have imaginary friends, even deep into adulthood.

True.
I'm seeing If I can get a few of my IRL friends to come with me. None of them are particularly interested in keyboards, but they can do something else the two days I'm at keycon.

[Sifo]

$600 for me to fly to san jose directly from Toronto (costs more if I go to Buffalo first lol)

Dunno if I can budget for that since I'm going to PAX later.

Halvy roadtrip T_T

[HipsterPunks]

The gf and I have been looking to plan a trip to Disneyland, this may work out nicely 

Although since shes not a member she'll have to wait outside right?

Ohh no.  My wife came to Keycon 2013 and even though she isn't a keyboard geek, she had a surprising amount of fun.

Were planning on going to Chicago sometime this year. Too bad this isnt there again! 

[CPTBadAss]

Were planning on going to Chicago sometime this year. Too bad this isnt there again! 

There will a KeyCon 2014 in the Midwest....in the early stages of planning.

Hopefully the Chicagoland Keycon will still happen in the fall. If not, I think I'm going to try and do an NYC meetup (maybe) and a Nashville meetup (definitely, more of a matter of when, not if) as well. And I think HoffmanMyster is doing a post-graduation GH roadtrip .

Might have to cancel the roadtrip...      My car isn't reliable enough.

Unfortunately, this is also true.

So who is organizing the Midwest party bus to make the drive all the way to California.  I'll chip in for some gas.

[HoffmanMyster]

Hmm. This is an intriguing idea.  But the trip will take a minimum of 31 hours (from Chicago), according to google maps, and that would mean people would almost certainly have to take off work and whatnot.  So for me that means I'm out of that idea, and will have to fly most likely.

[Smasher816]

I have to be out there for my college's orientation day weekend. They offered me a choice of weekend in July and I chose the one that lined up with KEYCON. Such a geek

If I wasn't flying then a midwest road trip sounds fun. Good luck setting it up.

Yea, good point, screw that.  What about a rolling Amtrak party all the way to San Fran?!  California Zephyr, baby!

fyi, tickets from norcal to disneyland are actually really cheap. flying SJO or OAK into john wayne is basically door to door and flying into john wayne is generally cheap as chips.

another option if you have a whole family to cart down is to rent a van and drive. it's about a 7 hour drive from san jose to anaheim. again, you can fly directly out of john wayne back home; no need to drive back up to norcal or even up to LAX

[tjcaustin]

I may need to host a "get klaxon to West Side Story" auction or something.  Must remember to start saving.

I can't even lie...I'd take a train to chicago to meet up and carpool haha.

FOLKS!

i've been talking with boilermaker about scheduling and other issues surrounding boilermaker, and he has two major complicating (but very happy!!) issues. the first is that boilermaker is expecting his first child this fall WOOHOO!

the second is that it's going to be way too close to keycon west.

unfortunately that means we're going to have to cancel keycon chicago this year. expect it to run Spring 2015 instead.

anyway, back to the shorty! please join me in congratulating boilermaker and his wife on their incoming first child! yaaaaa!!!!

[i3oilermaker]

Its all true - I'm still trying to swing attending KeyCon West - but it might be tricky.

I think a Fall KeyCon in midwest is way too soon, so lets get pumped for a Spring 2015 KeyCon!


Either way Project Ravello needs to be unveiled at KeyCon west even if i have to Skype in to do it!!!

[boxfulofsanity]

When/where is KeyCon Midwest?

You can't tell me what to do. If I want to organize a Chicagoland meetup, I'm going to!

It's not, but you can drink brews on the train.

So the real question is, for those who are traveling in, what keyboards do we bring? I can't bring more than 2 I don't think .

[Smasher816]

Luckily I only own two (for now...)

[HaaTa]

Check in bags are generally limited to 50 lbs each.
2x Beam Spring no problem

[RabRhee]

Just send me your Kingsaver, then you can take two other keyboards with you. Then if I decide to go, I might bring my Kingsaver for you to see. Or maybe just send you a photo of it.

Ship some out before you arrive.

[CPTBadAss]

RabRhee, what a bro! I'll get right on that  )

And that's not a bad idea prdlm2009. But I don't like my boards traveling without me...I like them in my carryon.

I hear you there CPT.  Granted I drove myself last year but I brought my entire PC.  Case, moniter, keyboard, modded orbweaver, and mouse.  Though in my defense that was the only way to really show off the mods I did to the keyboard.

When I got out of the service, the Navy had a service pack up all my stuff to move for me.  They didn't touch any of my electronics.  I moved that all myself from FL to IA.  Including both PC's all the home entertainment components, and the TV.

So is keycon a trade show now? Why is it in geekhackers vendor subforum? Don't we have an Event subforum??

[mkawa]

a trade show is typically defined as a showing or convention for members of the trade, so i'm not sure what you're referring to.

the thread is here right now because we don't have an events subforum, and the convention _is_ being put on by Geekhackers.org and 724support.com

it's not in off-topic because a) it's not off-topic and b) i prefer that it not be competing with threads such as "climate change: fact or fiction?".

[Krogenar]

I wish I could go to this. 

[mkawa]

you'll be there in spirit!!
