Pa meetup july 31

[Jturse]

OK then sounds good....

NNNOOOOOO!!!!!!! Anything but the American Cancer Society!

They have a hardline anti-ecig stance, as does the American Lung Association, and the AMA. They've filed friend of the court briefs in the FDA case, and they are 100% Not on our side.

In fact, The ALA has been sending hitmen to various states to try to get PVs banned. They were behind the ban attempts in New York and Illinois, and I'm sure others. I know that in Illinois, they basically wrote the legislation and put it in the representative's hand. That bill came close to passing! I refuse to support any group that tries to ban PVs by making false arguments and withholding facts.

Didn't mean to get all militant on ya, but I spend a lot of time looking at the e-cig news and campaigning sections. Those guys are trouble, and they sure aren't on our side.

Jeff
What is the parking situation? Do they have a lot?

Is there anything you need help with? I am only about 20 minutes away.

 

[Jturse]

street parking available

 

[Stephra]

I just posted a final announcement in the general forum. I don't think we'll have many, if any, latecomers, but you never know.

Feel free to bump if you like:

[Stephra]

I don't know if this is something you want to do Jeff... but have you considered contacting a local newspaper about the meet? If they have advance notice, they may be interested in doing a "local color" piece about the event. It could be a chance to get ecigs out in front of the public a little.

If nothing else, they might be able to print it as an upcoming event blurb. Just a thought...

 

[Jturse]

The bar owners daughter is a reporter and she will be there. Hahahahaha. Already thought of that.

I'm about 2 hours away.

It's so tempting... I would like to meet some people and buy some stuff, too (or at least look at it first hand), but... 2 hours.

I'm very tempted, but won't know for sure until it gets closer. Is there a deadline for RSVPing?

 

[AaronB]

Awe come on two hours isn't that bad... Okay I'm used to commuting an hour an a half everyday with traffic.

 

[Stephra]

Yeah, I've got an hour and a half at least, and I'm making it a day trip (ie. not staying over in a hotel). And I have work the next day, too.

Besides, there will be goodies to sample and chance to win a spanking new PV. Remember, the more the merrier!

Yeah, just come. I have a little over a 2 hour drive too. It's not that far. You can stay at a hotel like I'm doing if you don't want to drive back that night.

 

[maureengill]

Aww crap...it just so happens that it's the same day as one of the most fun volleyball tournaments of the year...

Battle on the Brandywine...

Philadelphia Social - Battle On The Brandywine Grass Volleyball Tournament II

But since I was injured I don't know if i have a team yet...so if I can't find a team...I might still make it.

 

[AaronB]

See you already know which to choose as the team isn't confirmed. Did you ever get any hits off others in your area commuting up with you? Is transportation a problem?

 

[maureengill]

I haven't heard from anyone regarding a possible carpool. Transportation wouldn't be an issue, other than driving back after hanging out at a bar all night (although I guess you didn't see that part of the tournament fee includes Free Picnic: FREE BEER, Hamburgers, Hot Dogs, Soda, Dessert, More FREE BEER!)

Well all that would be great if this was the PA beer fest but we are talking PV and juice baby!!!!

The possibility of me showing up has increased greatly...I need a new air intake + housing (the bolts on mine won't come off so I can't change the air filter) for my car and that huge junkyard in hazleton would be a great excuse to come down there.

As long as you guys don't mind me being a little dirty when I get there!

 

[Stephra]

I for one welcome all the dirty vapers!

I can't speak for anyone else though. Anyone have a problem with a dirty Keveck?

Yeah but the tournament fee is $120.00 - in this part of Pa. that equals about:
120 draft beers.
40 or so bottles.
60 quarts of Yuengling.

I will even buy you a beer so add 1 to any of the above.

Back in the 90s Rich and I took a trip down to D.C. for the weekend. We saw bars selling Yuengling at import prices! It was sort of a laugh, especially since he grew up a few blocks away from the brewery.

 

[keveck]

60 quarts of Yuengling LAGER.

Fixed.

 

[thibbit]

any one near bradford (16701) want to carpool? I would like to go depending on the babysitter situation so it's still a maybe for me.
