That was fun. Thanks all for organizing and taking the trip out. It was awesome meeting you all. :thumb:

It was great having Katzen and Dodgy in the place; they both make some pretty rad keycaps. I'm going to have my friend that I dragged along with to make an account and post some pics. He has two of Dodgy's caps on his Logitech board at home, and they look awesome. Light up brainz FTW!

Definitely need to have a Keycon East '16, bare minimum.

We should probably start organizing that now :cool:

I was stoked to show Sniping some legendary good eats in NJ. We hit up White Mana right before we dropped him off at the train station. I haven't had White Mana in yeeeeeeeears, and it's still so good. If anyone rides through northern NJ close to NYC, hit up White Mana in Jersey City, or White Manna in Hackensack. Legendary eats.

This looks like it was fun! I'm sad I missed it. I've been thinking about the possibility of organizing a meet up sometime this winter in the Northeast though, and this only makes me more excited to do so! Is this something people would be interested in? I was thinking perhaps Boston as a possible location, but Montreal also wouldn't be out of the question.

Boston would be cool, I'd really like to visit sometime. Winter might be a bit crazy though :p

Thanks so much for organizing this hwood!
Had a great time, and getting to chat with all of you was so fun I'll have to finally stop lurking.

I wanted to make this so bad D:

Katz got the whole crew pumped up to meet you Binge, really sad you couldn't make it! Keycon 2016...?

You rang?  Where in Florida?

Destination is Sanibel, for a family reunion.  :)  I'm currently planning to drive and would be taking a route that makes sense from WI to there.  :D  And I'm more than willing (hoping, in fact ;) ) to go out of the way on the way back to meet some GHers.

I couldn't make it. I wanted to.
My gf would have been with me.
At least one female would have been there.
Something came up at the last minute.

It's a sad excuse.
But, I really wanted to meet fellow keyboard enthusiasts who understand the love of keyboards. It's usually hard to explain my keyboards to the layman.

Plane tickets usually are cheapest for Jan/Feb flights, fyi, if you plan on having a Keycon in the wintertime.
