KEYCON!!

Quote from: HoffmanMyster on Thu, 28 April 2016, 14:47:16

KeyCon 2016 will take place in Chicago

If you are unfamiliar with KeyCon, check out KeyCon 2015 and previous events for reference.

Now let's make this happen! KeyCon is a load of fun.

Outdated info:

Location, date, and all other details are currently TBD. I have created this thread/board as a place to discuss potential options and ideas. It will be vital to have a local to the determined location take over planning and logistical responsibilities, so keep this in mind when choosing locations.

In the past we have had KeyCons in Chicago, San Jose, and Chicago.

Let`s do something in the southeast, if there are enough clackers this way. I'd love to attend. =)

EDIT: FLFisherman beat me to it.

jdcarpe · « **Reply #3 on:** Wed, 02 March 2016, 18:33:26 »

I nominate Austin, TX. There are several GH'ers local to there who would probably be willing to help organize.

Austin would also be a good excuse to come out to Texas again. PCPartPicker is from there too.

Last time I was there, I hung out a bit at the awesome Spiderhouse.

Agreed, there's a lot of people around the East Coast. There's a surprising amount of people in Pittsburgh to New York but don't know if anyone could organize.

piemancoder · « **Reply #8 on:** Wed, 02 March 2016, 18:40:40 »

I am 99% sure I won't be able to attend, but I will be waiting for pictures and videos.

Hoof you beat me to the punch. I definitely think a diff spot would be tight. TX sounds good. FL only if we all go to Harry Potter world after

I forget that people actually visit Florida just for the theme parks. That's a great suggestion!

nuclearsandwich · « **Reply #25 on:** Wed, 02 March 2016, 19:37:31 »

I'd be interested in returning to Austin, TX. The later in summer KeyCon happens the more likely I'll be able to attend. My summer is gonna be whack.

jbondeson · « **Reply #26 on:** Wed, 02 March 2016, 19:42:21 »

I would nominate Colorado but there's only a few of us out here (but we have the monopoly on crumpage with meeba).

Our weather is a whole lot less extreme than Texas though! Plus other more favorable laws

I'm throwing my vote in the ring for Nashville, TN. There's plenty of Clackers here and I'm near positive that Mashby and I could coordinate something on a large scale.
