I think you misread him a bit, Rab. What I believe he was saying is that stuff like Vendors and juice samples are nice, but the real reason he's attending is to hang out with other vapers. I don't believe he was knocking on the decision to invite vendors.
Our intention to invite local vendors to the meet isn't some nefarious attempt to drum up money for them. It's so that we all have a chance to get to meet and get to know our local vendors. Will some sales occur as a result of that? I'm quite sure that they will, but that's not the primary reason we've invited them to attend, or invited them to make donations for door prizes.

This is intended to be fun for all. A chance to meet other vapers, a chance to share systems and juices, a chance to meet local vendors, a chance to network with each other.

I'm excited - and I'm with MikenGA - I think we need to plan another planning committee meeting in January just to make sure we have all our t's crossed and i's dotted.......ok - we just need to have another meeting because February is too far off! :p

As far as the ATL Vapers Club, I'll start another thread on that soon. I've just got to get these two Finals out of the way. Sociology and Computer Concepts. Yay.

Got it!

Good luck with those finals!

Did you get a chance to call the venue yesterday?

Committee sounds the best, I was just joking with Chaos :) Maybe next committee meeting we could pick a quieter section, or location. It was a bit rowdy where we were sitting. right in front of the Big Screen LOL

And yes, go max those finals, Chaos :toast:

Did I not say "there is no such thing as a nice, quiet table at Sidelines", before we went? :p

You need help with either let me know. My undergrad was in Anthropology which borrows allot from sociology but dead and my masters was Geography/GIS with custom program of Computer Information Systems and Computer Science. Plus I work in code:)

I've actually got both of them aced. It's just polishing up, and then the teacher in Computer Concepts who didn't teach crap the entire time, gave BS quizzes, then announced that the Final is Comprehensive.

Haven't heard back from OTG. I'll call them again in a bit.

Sounds good, just thought I would offer. If you ever have questions about Peruvian pre-Incan or early trade networks in the South West I am your man. I was an archaeologist before I turned spatial programmer, and my Undergrad Thesis was in Trade Networks in the South West, specifcally Chaco Canyon into Casas Grandes and the surrounding regions. Cool thing is, one of my professors recently announced they discovered cacoa in the pottery at Chaco, really big deal!!!

I've read about the Chaco Canyon. I think it was in a Douglas Preston/Lincoln Childs book. Cool stuff. Bizarre how the Anasazi just suddenly disappeared.

Just talked to the manager at OTG. Apparently when they planned the meet back in May they promised him it would be a monthly event, and got him to waive the normal $150 fee. He's not willing to do that again since they didn't follow through on it. I think we can easily collect $150 from attending vendors if we just ask $25 a piece, and then maybe take a bit of the Raffle money to cover any shortfall. Where we stand now is we need a $150 deposit to book the room.

Even if we all throw in $5 to $10 as individuals, that would work as well. I'd be willing to pitch in $10.

Well, we need to get it figured out in the next 24 hours. I told the manager I'd be calling him back within 48 hours to solidify the date. If we can get the people that're interested right now to toss in some money to cover it, and then we'll just ask the vendors for $20 each. If that doesn't cover it totally we'll just use some of the raffle money.
