Time isn't the problem, money for said vacation is.^^

Consider all the money you will spare because you won't have to pay for shipping keyboards to The Netherlands ;-)

I'll do a short writeup of the meeting once it happens. Might even tweet it :-)

Maybe we can travel together. Then, it is only 300km.

It will be quite a strange but pleasant experience: talking to people about keyboards without getting that look of disbelieve followed by some ironic comments.

If we get 20 people to join I will bring a special gift for everyone! ;-)

I'd love to come, however I have some questions:

a) I'm currently quite a newb when it comes to keyboards and mainly looking for advice on what I should want to order. Is that fine?

b) Where is this? Maybe I'm just missing things, but I can't see. EDIT: nvm, saw it. Blindness...

Hope you can help me:)

I'll be there, would be great to be able to feel a few switches and talk with some likeminded folks :)

Being a newb is fine. Great chance to try all those different keyboards on 1 day.

It's a pity somebody did not organize this when I started collecting, could have saved me a small fortune :-)

Well, I thought that 20:00 would be a decent wrap-up time. After 20:00 my family will be given a chance to return home and go to bed :-)

Yeah would be nice to responsibly enjoy some cold beverages with my fellow Keyboard nerds before we all head back home. But I guess we could also just do that in the afternoon. ;)

Updated OP :
on 23 June 2012 the first Dutch Deskthority Keyboard Party will take place.

I would like everybody who voted for that day to notify me so I can add him ( I guess there will be no hers ) to the attendance list.

Regards.

Well, I'm in Karlsruhe and intend to come. Haven't checked the map yet but it might make sense to team up.

This is in the far future, but I plan to be there unless I'm dead, in prison, or on vacation.

Noted in my calendar. I'll be there unless being held back by the things webwit mentioned.

I'm also going to have a lot to trade on that day :

Thinking of offering :
Used Ibm model M13 ( BS )
NIB Avant Prime ( White alps )
NIB Siig Minitouch ( White alps )
Used Das keyboard professional ( Mx blue )
NIB Topre Realforce 103UUW
...And who knows what I might pick up in the mean time

Looking for :
Extremely cheap sources of keyswitches of all variants( BS/ MX/ Alps/ Monterey/ Omron). Here is your chance to get rid of all your un-sellable/un-wanted keyboards! :-)

On that day, no euros will be handed over during a trade, only keyboards/keycaps!

HNNNNG! I feel like a steel ball bearing near an electromagnet!
I would LOVE to have do "keyboard trading party", I have so many interesting things I know people would love to see or have. Is anyone from Berlin or Brandenburg area driving over for this event? Perhaps we can work out a car sharing agreement or something.

I was going to post a few things from my collection for sale soon due to my move...but showing them off in person would rock!
