Not only do you have two days of awesome exhibits, talks, and lots of old computers (and keyboards), but there's also going to be a keyboard-specific meeting on the first day.

Come out and play

Some Atlanta ppl will be very happy. I contacted one of the sponsors and he is going to see about picking up the kbds from the Atlanta warehouse that I set aside last year. NIB green Alps and other things.

Got something in there for me?

I'm in dire need of F barrels and flippers if you have a stash of them

He has no more model Fs, sorry. Actually, he has 1/2 gaylord of F122s but they are lost somewhere in the warehouse. Next time I go down, I will seek them out.

Thank you Mrs. Elecplus (or are you a man? I remember someone said you are one of the few female members here, but I may be wrong)! I wish I could buy things from you, but I'm in the EU.

Hah! I'm happy to trawl his yard for them some on Saturday if you want. My local recycler is southernresources.com and they're good peoples too.

Damn, I would love to come to this but it's like an 8 hour drive one way

still tempting though but I dont think it's gonna happen on such short notice

seebart · 19 Apr 2018, 18:52

I'd like to see some pictures of that event in the future.

Nothing is stopping you from buying stuff from her, she offers intl shipping.

I'd love to go as well but the drive would be too far.

That's a loooong drive, I used to drive from D.C. to Miami down i95to see my folks, usually took me over one day.

Blaise170 · 19 Apr 2018, 19:42

Yeah even if I still lived in KY it would still be too far (about 6 hours) for me.

No, that would be manageable and worth the drive.

JP! · 19 Apr 2018, 20:20

Yeah you would be better off flying and renting a car from the airport. It's at least 8 hours for me.

I wouldn't have a problem driving 6 hours, but I still wouldn't want to drive that far just for a keyboard meetup. I doubt I'll even make it to the one in Cambridge which is only 20 minutes from my place.

mike52787 · 19 Apr 2018, 20:41

Not as bad as blaise... but still unlikely I can make it

I have no prob shipping to the EU. I ship to ScottC and Wodan pretty often!

This is why I hate living in flyover country. Hope you guys have fun.

Me too, but lot_lizard's project vacuumed up a big portion of the supply.

I went to the event last year but it was pretty under-whelming, keyboard-wise.

FXT · 20 Apr 2018, 00:31

Not as far as I thought it'd be. Shame I have plans this Saturday.

Felice · 20 Apr 2018, 00:51

Very, very interesting meetup. I wish you good and nice days !!! I'd would like to be there with you, but I'm a bit far !!! Have a good time !!!
