Yes! Would love to see some photos.

Pretty disappointed I wasn't able to make it, just built a keyboard last week as well  :(

Hopefully there'll be another  ;D

Would be good to see your new board numpy. I've been wanting to build a board myself for a while but too scared i'll screw it up and waste the kit.

Chancer, dats a good drink I am jelly.

Also censor out the lady before tp sees and gets all stalky/rapey.

Edit: after today's episode of who is the hottest piece of male meat on gh, it may be a good idea to censor out the gentlemen also.

Oh **** I forgot about that. It seemed to be a lucky charm for Kekman though. Did the highest on the typing test with that licked board  :cool:

By the way Kekman that board was licked by a pug (??). This message might get to you too late though.

either a pug or a bulldog, some sort of stubby-ass dog

the dog saliva on the keys might have dried up to create a more textured surface, allowing kekman to type more accurately

I checked r/mk for any Sydney meetups and I didn't see any. I should've checked GH as well.

I'm actually planning one right now and I found a venue next to Central station that would be the perfect spot. I spoke with the guys at The Nerd Cave and they said if there was less than 38 people, we wouldn't need to book/pay for the venue, just turning up would be fine.

Have you settled on a date? 27th of March is during mid-semester break for some university students.

If anyone needs a delivery from the states(California) that is not too huge I might be able to make it happen.

I'll be in town March 18-21st.  :)

We can accommodate for our American friend if we set the date to the 19th or 20th. What do you think?
