1st CoVapE Meetup -- Kick Some Ideas Around -- October 9th, in Castle Rock

[Whistle_Pig]

Before the snow flies, maybe we can get a little meetup going. I know settling on a location might be a bit problematic, considering we're kind of spread out here.

But let's kick some ideas around.

Castle Rock?

Update: We seem to be settling on October 9th, in Castle Rock. Specific location and time still TBD.

More updatey: It's all official. Please see the Announcement and RSVP thread for details.

Count me in!

What if we all post where we are in addition to thoughts on a spot. Might give us a better idea of what would be central to the most people. Castle Rock would be great for me, but what if most of us are from Fort Collins?

I'm southwest of Denver and *ahem* up in the hills.

 

[Whistle_Pig]

I haven't noticed anyone from Ft. Collins. I do know there are peeps in Co. Springs.

Castle Rock works for me, I am in CoS

I don't know where most of us are from. Aren't you up North, Whistle?

Never mind, I think that was Bahnzo.

[Upinthehills]

Uh, oh yeah. I knew that.

It was Bahnzo, I think he might be in Loveland? Something like that.

I'm in FoCo as well. Meetup sounds fun.

We had fun in St Louis last weekend for Midwest Vapefest...until I was driving home and hit a deer in Hays, KS...now I'm waiting for my truck to be repaired so I can drive back there and get it.

I'm near Golden. Please PM me if you schedule a meeting. I'm sure glad to be a part of this group. I 'discovered' the ecig at Smoker Friendly last Sept and think it saved my life. Then I went online and discovered the ECF forum. From there I found David from 'Rocky Mountain Vapor' in Breckenridge who very kindly spent about 1.5 hours with me teaching me all sorts of stuff. I bought some Joye 510 and 901 kits and ejuice for myself and other family members from him.
The last cig I had was last Sept 7th driving to Breckenridge.

David is one super nice young fellow. He and his wife had to move out of state to help his mother who became ill but I'm glad to say he's still in business. Just to put a plug in for him, he has great ejuice prices and no shipping charges for orders over $14.

Again, it's nice to be a part of this group!

Hope you have someone hanging it in a freezer for you, or it's going to be pretty ripe!

Hi, thewomenfolk. Welcome to the group! I won't promise a PM -- my organizational skills are almost non-existent.

Woot! A Colorado group..too cool!

I'm in Parker so Castle Rock works just fine for me. I'd love to meet you all.

Ft. Fun, eh? Okay, might have to redefine "central location". Here's a map. The 2 circles, centered on Ft. Collins and Co. Springs, are the same diameter.

So the further question is, how far are people willing to drive?

Unfortunately, getting the deer off I-70 and 300+ miles back home would have been quite impossible with my truck immovable. Besides, I actually ran it over, it took out my radiator, serpentine, and tranny lines...I am quite sure it was too bruised to eat Then, I had to drive past it the next morning to get home...I felt awful

 

[Whistle_Pig]

Oh, you're having to drive back to get your truck, not the deer.

 

[Upinthehills]

It's really awful when you hit a deer, isn't it Ms? I've hit one twice in my canyon. First about fifteen years ago and the last about six months ago. That one was just a fawn. I still feel bad about that one.

How'd you get home from Hays?

 

[msroulette]

Insurance co paid for a rental, so instead of my lifted Durango, I'm driving a POS cobalt...I want my truck back...right...now!

This is the 4th deer I've hit, two have survived, two have not. Living in northern MI for 8 years got me 3 deer. This is the worst damage they've done to my vehicle though, the first one popped a lens cover off the turn signal of my dad's LTD station wagon, the second and third were two weeks apart, on the same highway in the UP, both walked away, and neither did any damage...this time...$3500.00 to fix. I still feel worse for the deer, though.

I am indeed in the Valentine City. Dunno if I could make a meetup, I don't drive very well (long story).

Well, once we get the details worked out, we can start a carpool request thread.
