OK. I honestly gave it the best shot I could..... (meaning trying to catch up) IMPOSSIBLE!!!
So, I am just going to touch on a few things.........
1) Hello to all my friends (I would name all of you, but I will forget one and just flat out feel badly) I love you guys.
2) Did I read that people are grabbing Cucco? Is that allowed now in here
JK or course.
3) I cannot believe Sedge is a moderator. He may not remember this, but he and his beautiful wife were some of the very first vapors that I ever met in person. I was in PS and we had connected through this site. We met up at a coffee place ( I believe it was called Koffee) and I sat and tried to show them how easy it was to wrap a wire around a SS mesh wick. The funny part is that I was pretty darn good at it at that point, but struggled in front of the live audience
wongster was actually the very first person that I ever met in person. Anavidfan is a old friend and I am pretty sure I sold her the Ody that she is still using now
Thanks for all the kind words. That is pretty much all I can say about that
So I was in vegas this last weekend for the Vape Summit. Very interesting time and show. I had the pleasure of hanging out with a lot of really wonderful people. The group from SFATA is great, spent about a hour (as I normally do) talking to the provari team. They are so brilliant and I find them absolutely fascinating. I am pretty sure I have talked them into letting me drive up there and tour their factory and see how they do what they do.
My absolute favorite interaction (by a longshot) was one that I did not anticipate. I was sitting in some seats and watching the "cloud contests" (which make me personally crazy) and joking (sort of) about how I wanted to start a "anti-cloud" contest with this super nice guy. My contest would basically be a group of people and the person who blew the LEAST visible vapor would win. I was being a smart ... (so what is new?). Anyway, the woman next to me finally introduced me to the person who I had been hanging out with. Can you guess who it was??
It was the person who started and runs ECF. (names withheld for obvious reasons). I spent a significant amount of time talking to him. I have to say I am a huge fan of his.
I like to think I have some idea of what it takes to run a business and I think I generally appreciate the effort it takes to do so.
I was blown away by his kindness, passion and dedication for what he has done and what he is doing. He like many I respect (P you know I am talking to you
) really started and still feels very strongly that he wants to make a positive difference in peoples lives by helping them to quit smoking.
After spending time with him, I have even more respect for the tremendous responsibility, time and energy it takes to run this site. And on a personal level, he is a unbelievably nice person. I honestly wish more people had to opportunity I had because it was a real treat.
ps, no I am not saying this to get any special favors here. I did not ask for any and I am not now
I did harass him a tiny bit too, and he took it very well I might say
.
Oh I wish I had more time to be here and hang out. I sincerely miss so many of you. If Perseas would work on the project I want him to work on (MODifying the day so it had more than 24 hours. I mean if anyone can do it, you can right?)
than I would be able to just chat the day away. Some of you I get to see elsewhere, but it is not the same
oh, one last thing. I am throughly, absolutely 100% enjoying the Paps X TI that is in my hands at this moment. I have never, ever held a device in my hands that I loved as much as this beauty. And I am SOOO glad I do not have to F5 this time
ok, now I am just being bratty. Love you guys (my old friends) and welcome to all the new peeps. And Sedge, hello my old friend. Please say hello to your lovely wife for me as well
ps, Idaho, thanks for the twitter "hello"
