Deskthority Keyboard Party Invite for 2012 : 23 June!

[off]

So no chance the missus (and kids??) are going for a dinner at friends?

[Mrinterface]

Actually, they are coming home because our 8 year old needs to go to bed...

Fair enough. You heard it lads, drinking only till 6, and gtfo before the kids see your drunk face.

[Mrinterface]

Gonna log the whole day with stories and pictures in this thread. ( Might even twitter it )

I wonder what the neighborhood will think : lot's of foreign cars with weird looking people stepping out and pushing in trolleys loaded with keyboards...

... and the family sent away for that time so they can't witness what happens ...

[CeeSA]

maybe we can evacuate the entire quarter

No fear, I am totally harmless!

[Mrinterface]

I'm also thinking to continue the party after 6 in EIndhoven. European championship soccer quarter finals will be playing on big screens in many bars. Not that I am that much of a soccer fan, but the atmosphere will be nice.

That way the party can last a LOT longer and my family can get their sleep

What do you guys think about this proposal?

We could even check out this great shoarma place in Eindhoven for dinner....

[Icarium]

Hm...works for me but since I intend to catch a ride with CeeSA it's up to him whether we stay for soccer or not.

[Ascaii]

Allright, Im coming!

Lots of thanks to 7bit for taking me along on Friday!

[Vax]

Okay, I did not know that the party is actually at MrInterfaces House. That's of course a totally different thing then. Well, as already mentioned we can always change the location after all the testing/trading/selling has finished and just grab a drink at a nice local bar or something (MrInterface is a local so he should know a good place).

I will be driving through the whole Ruhrpott to get there so if anyone needs a ride I got 2 open spaces in my car. The costs for the Diesel should be really low if we all share.

[dirge]

I've got some items to send over, fingers crossed they make it to MrInterface's in time!

[Mrinterface]

Contemplating a (eyes-closed) keyswitch contest from the first new switch sampler bag( more than 22 keyswitches! ). The person who guesses most keyswitches right will get to keep it

Hah, that's cool! But give the newbies a chance to win it too! So let them test all the switches on other boards first

[Acanthophis]

Thinking about joining the party.
What's the nearest "coffeshop" to your house?

[Icarium]

Sorry, you can't operate machinery under influence.

[Acanthophis]

There is a difference between can and not allowed to...
Also, what machinery are we talking about anyway?

[Icarium]

Well, keyboards of course!

[Acanthophis]

@all participants: No beer for Icarium!

There is nobody from Berlin area who goes by car and has a spare seat for me?
7bit is full :/

[GS88]

Are there any Rotterdammers going? I'm thinking of going this saturday.

[Vax]

Can someone bring ergo clears? I'm eager to test them.

[Ascaii]

I will have my 1800 with ergo clears along.

[Mrinterface]

Getting close!

Anybody who is coming and needs the address , PM me.

[CeeSA]

have we somebody from uk?

[fossala]

have we somebody from uk?

I wish I could but work means I can't.

[Icarium]

I thought sixty is coming. Isn't he currently UK based?

[webwit]

I'll be there for the main event, but I had already made different plans for the evening.
No more requests? I have a Logitech rubber dome, I can take it with me.

[Icarium]

Well, the space cadet would be nice to see and some other weird switch stuff of course. If you (or anybody else, of course) have some keyboards with similar switches but very different feel due to caps/build quality/housing that would be very interesting imho.

Sorry for not being able to make more precise requests. Just a moment...

EDIT: looking at your collection I find the ergo stuff very interesting, too

• safetype
• touchstream
• m15
• cherry 5k

in order of preference

[Icarium]

As mentioned earlier one of those rare mouseboards would be interesting...and some ergonomic mice maybe...

and yeah...the uTron would be interesting as well, I admit.

I'm also thinking of taking rubberdomes. They are way lighter than those bloody mechanicals!
