As long as it's not too loud to talk, then it sounds good to me!

The Mudhouse is generally very quiet. It usually has a lot of couples and quiet social gatherings. Springfield Brewing Company is fine downstairs in the dining area, but can get loud upstairs were the live music is hosted. I figured we would be conducting our meetings downstairs as it is more accommodating to our needs.

Good food, atmosphere, PV's and beer! What's not to like?

Ill see if I can get some of my Joplin followers to come out to the meeting. We will see, good work on finding a venue kds121s

I'll definitely be there. I think Springfield Brewing Company would probably be good. Let's see what everybody else thinks though. I really hope to meet vapers from all around the region, from Joplin, Bolivar, Branson, Lebanon, etc.

As I have been up to my eyeballs with college and work, I forgot to mention that the next meeting would not be held untill June. I feel that this will allow everyone plenty of time to deliberate the details of where and when the monthly meetings will be held. Just thought that I would mention that, so that there was no confusion (we have plenty of time to get this all ironed out). I look forward to hearing from everyone and have a great weekend.
