Oh sike I guess I won't be going after all. I tried buying a Amtrak ticket like 30 mins before departure and the one way cost was $180.

Have fun everyone! I'll probably just find something to do in Philadelphia for the weekend RIP

Edit 2: I think I'll be able to make it actually
You better :mad:

I'll be showing up around 11:30 or 12:00 (haven't even showered yet, but I'm pretty close to JFK).

Is anyone bringing drinks or snacks? Because it might be a good idea to do that... It's also something I can do, if needed.

Got to meet some awesome, nice people; see actual Clacks and KBK/KWK's in person; see a dope 456 case, SoWaRe, a KMAC, GMK Red Alert, Filco Camo, the list goes on; and dat Kishsaver... omg, greatest thing I've ever typed on, I really ****ing need one now. We also talked general keyboard facts, drama, etc. All in all: 10/10, excellent day, would do again (despite taking Ubers to get to and fro).

Extra props to Dodgy and Katzen for giving me some cool new caps (pics tomorrow, like 'Stache)!

We should definitely try to do this again sometime. Bare minimum, Keycon East '16 needs to happen.
