Oh I forgot to mention. Remember to leave a bit earlier than usual since there might be more traffic due to Pan Am Games.

Otherwise I'll see everyone tomorrow!!!

HOV lane ftw! carpoolers unite.

i feel sorry for those using gardiner/dvp though.

LOL I have to use gardiner/dvp tomorrow failllll. BUT I'll be going opposite direction of where the traffic's coming in so I might be ok.

Oh yeah I forgot to update you guys on that.

Basically the plan is that we'll arrive between 12:30 to 1:00, at 1:00 they'll start serving pizza.

1:00 ~ 2:00 is social and pizza time.

2:00 is when the main event starts. Then they'll give us presentation/tour .... etc like how it was last time, and after the presentation/tour portion is done then everyone can bust out their keyboard we geek out until whatever time we want.

I'm assuming maybe 3 hours or so then after we can head out for drink/dinner.

EDIT:

Here is e-mail from Steve. Basically it just means tomorrow will be super amazing and they're the bestest ever that is all.

=========================================================

Hi Andre,

We’re excited too!

I’ve gone ahead and ordered the pizzas. As you know, doors open at 12:30 p.m., and I’ve scheduled the pizzas to arrive at 1:00 p.m.

I’ve ordered 6 large and/or party size pizzas, of various types, so we should have enough pizza for 20 people. In addition, there is pop, water, and various snacks.

If you think there will be more than 20 people coming, let me know, and I’ll order more food.

We’ll have some empty counters/tables set up for people to bring their own cool keyboards and display them, and Edgar will be showing some prototype keyboards and getting some opinions from the group, to influence our R&D direction.

Best Regards,

Steve

If anyone wants to see the boards I'm bringing (I recall someone asking about the novatouch specifically), I can haul them out during the social time. I unfortunately won't be able to stay for the tour because I'm going out in the afternoon in celebration of my mom's 50th birthday.

If you're going so soon then don't bother bringing the ssk.
I am bringing mine in so I wouldn't want you to lug it out here if it is a hassle.

slip84 · « **Reply #255 on:** Sat, 11 July 2015, 07:30:50 »

Changed the boards I'm bringing a bit. I got rid of a set of caps I had on there! Oh no! And acquired a Korean custom. Yay!

Ergo and stock clears and greens still best for me... but I really loved user18's Novatouch. It was like Saul on the road to Damascus. If only they made 55g...

I really liked his Novatouch. Don't judge me...

I actually like the clack on the upstroke. He left before a lot of us had a chance to try it, he had Toxic non yellow mods on it.

The Leopold had great Topre as well. HHKB is good too, but the Nova and Leo impressed me the most.

It was... Various things.
I had Novatouch domes, realforce 55g and fc660c.
All solid boards. The hhkb isn't that much different to be honest.

Though guessing what switches were in a keyboard was a bit tricky, next time I'll do name tag + keyboard tag so we know what we're looking at.

Oh though I have to say NovaTouch impressed me too. It wasn't as bad as people claimed.

Also I'll put pictures up tomorrow, too sleepy tonight lol.

Steve & I really enjoyed meeting you all and hearing / discussing your opinions about keyboards (especially the more controversial ones). :-)

Sorry we missed the dinner. Our post-event chat went longer than we expected.

Looking forward to doing this again when our 60% is done... :-)
