Robo Fanboy Lunch
I had a delightful lunch today with xanadu and Gordon McComb down in Carlsbad. We chatted for nearly 4 hours about robots, toys, flying, and the human condition. I love hanging out with people smarter than me and both these gents are. I met Gordon once before but this was my first time meeting xanadu Jon. Gentlemen and scholars both. This was my biggest meeting with forum pals since Parallax's expo in 2012, with considerably less rain. ![:) :)](https://forums.parallax.com/resources/emoji/smile.png)
Ken, may I humbly suggest it's high time to have another such rockin' Rocklin party. Please say the word and make it happen, Cap'n. Parallax Peeps are the best!

I am planning a vacation in SOCAL in Jan any chance we could do another meet?

Thanks for lunch and the cool gear!
BTW: erco, where did you get the idea you had a face for radio? Good looking bunch of intellectuals, I still think I don't have a voice for tv or radio.
Love to, if schedule permits. I'm at CES and NYC in January. Got dates?
My schedule is not yet set send me your black out dates

I just went once to 'the mother ship', yet. It's like the Hadsh for Muslims (going to Mecca). Once in your live (at least) you have to go there. (Rocklin not Mecca)
I liked Parallax before I went there, mostly because of the unconventional P1 design and the fun I had playing with it. So I went to the last Parallax Expo. (was it really 2012?)
I went there open minded without any goal, I just felt I need some days off my usual work.
Somehow I was overwhelmed with it. Too much good.
I worked for small and big companies in my live but that place really hits it. Maybe because it is family owned, or because Ken and Chip are quite a pair of smart brothers, making the right decisions.
The building itself is a standard, ugly place in a usual commercial setting. But once you get in you feel like visiting friends at home.
Sadly my English is not good enough to find the right wording, but:
When is the next Expo, pretty please?
Enjoy!

Not until the P2 is out though. Then we can go crazy!

A scheduled event like this is a great motivator to finish projects to display. Now git crackin', DiverBob, you got a doozy!
