DFW Vape Meet - 3/23 SUCCESS!! Boomerjack's Arlington

[christhomaswynn]

So I joined this group thinking I was going to get to talk to all of my North Texas vaping peeps and all I hear is the sound of cricket chirps. Let's get this group hopping again. I for one would love to see everybody come together in here so we can get a vape meet planned soon. That's only going to be possible if people get in here and participate. LET"S GO TEXAS VAPERS!

Heya chris - welcome to the forum! Yes, please help to get the traffic here. I'd love to get this rolling. While you're here, please answer the poll in the sticky threads, and leave comments as to your opinions.

Be sure to visit the thread regarding local B&M locations, and let us know if you visit one and how your experience was! Let us know if you find others as well!

Have a great day!

I already voted and I chose Dallas...I didn't start a thread on the B&M stores but I did leave a lengthy comment on the latest thread explaining all of my experiences with the stores I've been to so far. I'm not really sure what else I can do to get this group livened up...Any other suggestions?

 

[christhomaswynn]

Actually that comment on the stores was on the discussion section on the groups page. I will copy and paste it into the thread soon.

I was wondering why I couldn't find it!

As far as helping to drum up conversation in here, I think it's just a matter of posting and mentioning it to fellow Texans when you notice them in other threads. Also, you may want to change your location to Texas to help attract other Texans, but that may not have any effect...just a thought.

Texas is big, y'all, and most of us'ns country folk. We don't like to hoof it into the big D if'n we don't gotta.
It's the land of a thousand trucks... and one parking space.

Suggestion: a series of small meets in various cities that are sponsored and/or organized by the same group at the same time on the same day. Simulcast via a G+ hangout or other meeting technology in order to allow for interaction. This allows for an organic buildup of eventual group cohesion and possible coalescence at a central point at a future time should there be the interest to do so.
Just my $.02.

We have too many Texas forums.

The only problem with this idea is it would cost a lot of money over time. I think sticking with one location like Dallas is a good medium and a cheaper option for everybody that actually lives in North Texas. I've never done a meet before but unless someone is willing to donate their home and time I think you would have to rent a building and that's not cheap.

 

[christhomaswynn]

Thank you Ann Marie...You're awesome too. And I want to thank everybody for voicing their opinions. It means a lot to me and to North Texas Vapers. Let's do the damn thing!

We wouldn't have to rent a building - a lot of restaurants have "back rooms" we'd just need to contact them to find one that would allow us to hold a meet there Joe's crab shack, Betos, Cantina Laredo, Texas Land & Cattle, Some buffalo wild wings. And, at that - if you contact restaurants and just find out if they would allow vaping there, for a small group you wouldn't need a separate area.

 

[Ann_Marie]

We hold informal "vape meets" more of a get-to-gether w/ a lot of our N Texas Vapey type people We usually meet at Bamboos in Arlington and take up a large section of the restaurant

 

[Ann_Marie]

We could even do what Windy City and White Rose do and have monthly planned meetings.... I say if we build it they will come...

I'm a pretty anti social person, but my GF isn't. We make a great team. You're still allowed to smoke in the Mid-Cities area, so finding a place to vape would be easy.

 

[Ann_Marie]

We went here the other day - now granted we were the only people there, but we vaped (after we asked the staff if they minded)

And, this restaurant has a back area that is a smoking section, when the owner saw I was vaping he told me I should have stayed in the front section of the restaurant

We've known this place since it was out of an old Taco Bell on HWY 10

Witten's Bar & Grill in Hurst is "non smoking" But they'll let you vape. I also know the owners.

Sounds like someone likes italian food! Ever been to Cafe Sacilia in Bedford?

I like Savianos but I haven't been since I started going to Cafe Sicilia

I don't know if they allow vaping or not.

 

[Ann_Marie]

Can't say I have - and yea, my hubby and I both enjoy Italian

Just a heads up if you decide to try it. It's BYOB so feel free to take a bottle (or two) of wine with you.
