VIP August Meeting Discussion

[Hellen A. Handbasket]

Howdy Gang!
Thought we'd start a thread discussing the next SUNDAY Monthly meeting to get some ideas going.

We can discuss the monthly Wednesday (week-day) meeting issues in another thread... anyone else wanna lead that one? Ferris? Ferris Bueller?

Jerry (RadioKaos) has kindly offered to do a tutorial class on making battery Mods. I've sent him some questions (to find out his schedule, thoughts, supply lists, cost per person, etc.) and addressed some things we need to think about while trying to plan this and do it in a public place. I'll post what he says when I get an email back and if/when I get an ok from Hazelwoods.

So, here is my 2 cents (and everyone please post your thoughts and spare change ):

I didn't know if you guys want to do one more low key meet up. This will give everyone who didn't get to go last time a chance to just relax and get to know everyone. I know there were several people I didn't get to sit down and really chat with that were there! I thought Gswan (Gary) was a PHXSmokeless rep. for the first hour I was there, ha. (sorry Gary, I'll make sure to pay more attention to ya this time!). I won't be so harried and hurried this time either! Nice...

Also at this meeting (if we aren't doing Mods) maybe we could have Chad Green give a talk about what the ECA is about and fill us in on their current activities for a few minutes? Would you all have an interest in learning more about this organization?

We could do this next meet in August (Sunday dates would be the 9th, 16th, 23rd or 30th??) and if the schedule works for Jerry - the Mod tutorial in September (which would give us some time to really plan it well and get permission from the location owners). I'll let you know as soon as I hear from Jerry.

Please post your thoughts and ideas and concerns. All of the above is to just get the ball rolling, fill you in on some of the ideas brought up at the last meet and encourage you to get your great ideas out there.

If you have schedule issues in either of those months, post NOW please so we can try to get everyone there.

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone again, and getting to meet the people who couldn't make it on the 12th.

For me, my busy season is over so I can do pretty much anything I want.

The first three August dates are going to be rough for me since my son will be visiting from Long Island. I could make any Sunday meeting but wouldn't be able to stay quite so long unless it's the 30th, he flies back the 29th.

I guess what I'm saying is that if we were going to do mods I'd prefer it to be the 30th so I can invest the time, if it's going to just another meet & greet any Sunday will work as long as you don't mind me just popping in for an hour or two.

I think the main thing is we just keep the ball rolling. We had such a nice group show up last time.

You know me by now...food, vapor...some discussion, I'm good.

I'm open to whatever. I thought we had a great first meeting. Everyone was cool and I'd gladly have a pint with any of ya again. I'm free on weekends, and Sundays work out fine.

And now I've got my own kits, so I won't have to borrow this time!

Looking forward to the next go round Hellen. Name the time and place and I will be there. Let me know if you need anything or help putting things together.

Do I gotta do a Poll to get you guys to say what you wanna do at the next meeting? LOL

Don't make me pull out the Poll...

I already said it...eat and vape.

Okay, I would like a good source of Juice to be there. I'm thinking of bringing some cash this time for juice. So...juice is a definite.

As far as activities...battery mod sounds interesting but I'm really not into the technical side of these things...I deal with enough technical crap at work.

Bring local suppliers with cards and codes, and some products to demo. Any new products coming out that a supplier would like to demo to the group? It's really "Hey, we're a group who likes to vape. If you would like to sell to us, swing on by. Got a new product? Stop in. Got some good juice? Stop in. Got some treats for the group (not necessary)? Stop in."

I personally don't mind no "freebies" being around. Having a place to eat and vape without worry is a nice thing in my eyes.

I'm with DisMan on this one.

I would be very interested in the battery mod deal. Matter of fact if you could find out what the project is in advance then maybe we could pick up the parts required to do the mod and bring them to the class so that the actual mod can be made by those interested.

Also, if you are going to have give aways, why not turn it into a raffle and charge 5 or 10 bucks per ticket with proceeds going to wherever it is deemed appropriate to help with the legal cause of our addiction. Just some thoughts...
