Wondering if there would be a way to have a petition for everyone to sign at the meet up and/or electronically (for those who can't attend) about the proposed smoking ban in DeKalb Co that would include ecigs. Even for those that don't live in DeKalb, if you conduct business, visit or spend your money there, seems reason enough to me to be able to contribute a signature. Maybe this could help pool our resources so ecigs won't be included in the proposed ban (if it passes). Possible?

If you want to set up the "signing sheet" and ask people to sign it, I see no problem with that. I wonder, however, if not being a "DeKalb" resident will diminish the significance to those in the that county making the decisions.

I mentioned to several of the waitresses at Olde Towne that if there are any patrons who are interested in knowing more about vaping to tell them to come on up to our gathering and any of us would be willing to give them information and that there will be suppliers available also. One of the waitresses said her husband smokes and is trying to quit. He bought a "mall brand" and found it didn't work well. She said she was going to encourge him to stop by.

Unfortunately, I'm not able to attend, since the location is not wheelchair accessible (how I wish I could - have been looking forward to a meet up - next time, hopefully). I'm sure a DeKalb resident might have more significance, but your decision to patron a DeKalb Co business may be influenced by their ban. With government needing all the revenue it can collect, alienating potential patrons from DeKalb Co. businesses, I think might influence their decision. Although with the way government seems to work, representatives seem to have forgotten what a representative is supposed to do - represent the members of their constituency - instead, they pander to who can write them the largest check for their reelection campaign.

I'm putting one together and will be bringing it with me. :)

Just wanted to say that Dekalb is a HUGE county - there's lots of entertainment venues, restaurants, etc, within the county. A lot of the county's revenue comes from non-county residents, as Cat said above.

It will only take a minute or two for people to sign their name and since I am a resident, I'll be turning it in on Monday.

I also suggest that if you have friends or family who support your vaping and they/you spend money here, that they also contact the county and explain that it would limit whether or not you/they would choose to spend money in the county. :D

Odd request - any burly, strong men attending this meet up? Would anyone be willing to carry a gal in her chair up the stairs? (about 160# - me and my chair. Would take 2 ppl - 1 on each side). I really want to go, but the stairs are an obstacle I can't negotiate. :( Piggy back rides accepted :) Oh... and you have to get me back downstairs, too :) But, I'll leave when you do. I'd be happy to attend for even a short while.

I am absolutely positive that we can get you up and down those stairs, so don't let them stop you from having a fun night with the rest of us.
