Wish I could attend!

There is a local facebook keyboard group also that I'm part of but I'm not sure if I should share this meetup info.

(...)Whereas back then I wrote about the tyranny of the majority, today I'd combine that with the tyranny of the minorities. These days, you have to be careful of both. They both want to control you. The first group, by making you do the same thing over and over again. The second group is indicated by the letters I get from the Vassar girls who want me to put more women's lib in The Martian Chronicles, or from blacks who want more black people in Dandelion Wine.
I say to both bunches, Whether you're a majority or minority, bug off! To hell with anybody who wants to tell me what to write. Their society breaks down into subsections of minorities who then, in effect, burn books by banning them. All this political correctness that's rampant on campuses is b.s.

Just got home! XD It was a fun mini meet. Thanks for the right angled mini usb connector infiniti :3 makes my life easier. TBH I want that switch tester with all mx blues that lights up when you press it, it's like a stress reliever that's better than bubble wrap.

I had a funny encounter with a street beggar. I was lining up to ride a FX and was at the front row of the line. I was holding my fare, 20 php and it was so damn hot and humid outside I was sweating a lot so I was wiping myself with my handkerchief. This street kid slowly came in front of me then picked something up then ran as fast as he could. I then noticed it dropped my fare and he was running away with it. :)) Gadammet!

So was this a meet or a date? I'm confused.

@Infiniti, Hit me up via PM, I haven't had a look at the case thread for a while so I don't remember what was left. I think it was mostly done though.

BTW, did you get some eyeballs staring at you with all the flashy keyboards on the table and no computers to use it with :P

@zennasyndroxx

It's from the juice brand "Vaporetto" I dunno if they're famous overseas but as far as I know they make the best juices in the philippines(best in terms of quality, some people rank "best" in terms of price :v). You gotta try their ranchero @ 12mg nic then you'll understand why "Throat hit" is on the shirt. XD

@MOZ

Didn't really notice all the stares if there was any, was too busy asking noob questions to infiniti :3 So yeah, I'm pretty sure it's a brodate.

=====

I also found out yesterday why CC are all the rave XD Now not sure if I'll be ever able to get one for my HHKB :( Do want solid red only for my esc.

MINI MEET!  He came late and didn't buy me a meal. He didn't even notice my hair! hmph.

PM'd you. :cool:

I was immersed talking shop (and trying not to appreciate Topre...wallet saved!) and didn't notice the other people.  At least the Gong Cha staff were cool that we hung out there for so long.
