[IC] Northeastern US January/February 2016 meetup!
« on: Wed, 12 August 2015, 08:30:33 »
There's been some talk on the keycon east thread about possible having another northeastern meetup in early 2016. Right now the tentative location is Boston, and we're looking sometime in the January/February range. Let everyone know when you're around!
For those interested, Reddit thread.

I'm interested!  If it's in calendar year 2016 I will have some fresh vacay days to burn through, so I'll be golden.  Also interested in meeting/picking up other GHers along the way.  :thumb:

Find a way to get out here, bring the Wyfe. We party. Everyone deserves a vacation day or two. :) Philly isn't that far...it'd be a nice train ride...

If I can figure out how to escape school or if this is during my winter break I'd be down for a road trip to Boston.
People in the 1980s, in general, were clearly just better than we are now in every measurable way.

When is your winter break? It would be good to schedule this around peoples breaks.

Dec. 18th to Jan. 11

But as long as it doesn't happen during any midterms I can probably make it.

I was originally thinking sometime early January, but it sounds like maybe early December would work better for people.

Just gonna float this out there. Please try and secure a venue ASAP. Not having a venue set is the biggest deterrent for people who may be coming in out of the area. I may be able to go depending on when it is but it's probably not likely. Which is a bummer since I'm interested :(.

If it's in Boston there is a 99% chance I will be there. Won't be able to bring my full keyboard collection though, because I only have 2 with me at my dorm.

Boston is a bit of a trip for me only because of my work schedule, but if I can make it you bet I'll be there  :thumb:

I'm interested.  I live less than an hour from Boston.

Personally I'd prefer after December (when I'm hoping my ErgoDox EZ will arrive) and after the holidays (i.e. no earlier than Jan 3).

It probably goes without saying, but a snowstorm which could make travel difficult is a possibility anytime between Halloween and tax day in Boston.

I'm going to be in Boston today, so I'll be scouting out some potential locations. Once I figure out a definitive space, we should be able to get working on some specific date possibilities. Stay tuned for more updates!
