So who will be at PAX Prime next weekend? (Or just in Seattle?)

Unfortunately, I've been so busy lately that I currently have absolutely nothing planned for DBO this year. That said, it's always possible I could throw something together at the last minute. :)

If you'll be in town and are interested, please take a minute to fill out this quick survey:

DBO at PAX Prime 2015 Survey

Thanks!

Looking forward to it!

I'll be there.

Was going to post "No DBO meetup this year?!!!"

If there's anything I can do to help, let me know.

I'll be there.

I'm still trying to figure out if it's worth trying to get my 3D-printed Hawkmoon past TSA...

Only if Cody shows up.

Check it in a with a bag. If you declare you have a firearm in a checked bag, the TSA is legally required to inspect the bag in front of you, then you are required to lock it, which they are not legally allowed to open, and the airline will make damn sure they don't lose your bag, because if they do they are in big shit.

Probably doesn't work with a fake gun, but a starter pistol counts, and you don't need a license for one.

I would prefer not to have to check any bags though.

I figure if I tell them I have plastic fake toy gun in my carryon, that technically shouldn't be a problem - but probably not worth the potential hassle.

Could you ship it via UPS to someone that already lives in Seattle?

Bummer. It's not really worth the $50+ fees for checked bags.

Thanks for the link though!

It's even more to check your hawkmoon privileges

Where all my homies at?

All the time and money you spent on the gun, you have to take it and show it off!

Actually though...

It's not really done yet. I could have it done in time for PAX if I really want to, but I don't know that it's worth rushing it. Especially since this is the first project I am doing on [my brother's] 3D printer, so we're still working out the kinks and trial and error and such. Not much money spent either! I bought a kilo of the printing material for $25, and that will be more than enough to print a gun or two.

Ahhh ok.

I havent messed with 3D printers myself but I have friends who have dabbled in them. General consensus is that they are very tedious machines.

Done? No. Functionally ready for PAX visitors? Yes.

(Three complete bathrooms, 2 complete kitchens, lots of beds.)

Wow, you have 2 kitchens? You must be rich!
He's just joking, nobody has two kitchens…

I might be around town on Friday...

I don't have time for all these young Johnny-come-lately Labor Day nerd conventions. There's Dragon con happening.

Also, it's like basically next door and what not instead of 5000 miles away.

WHO'S WITH ME?!

That sounds like a great way to add about 40 minutes to the front end of every airport experience I have.

That's the opposite of progress.
