So Who's going to VapeStock!

[Iken]

Hey guys!
We're all booked up, closing up shop and going to VapeStock! (well delivery will be on hold anyway) As some of you know, it's a 3-day event, but we're going to have to stretch it to 5! I mean, it's Clearwater! That's where Val and I had spent our Honeymoon and besides Pete54 is pretty cool guy haha he's a great one! and can't wait to meet him! He will be our host of the gorgeous meet.

Here's some excerpts from the home site Vapestock 2011

The fun starts on Friday evening with a meet and greet beginning at 7:00pm at the Iguana Bar. This unique two sided bar allows you to either sit inside Jimmy's Fish House restaurant or head outside to the Tiki bar, overlooking the Gulf of Mexico while you listen to live entertainment and vape to your hearts content!

Saturday the fun continues........

Soak in the sun and relax at our two private Cabanas on the lower pool. This area is outside and will offer you views of the Gulf of Mexico, plenty of room to mingle or just relax. Food and beverages will be served to you from the Poolside Tiki Bar.

I mean the Gulf of Mexico clear water for only 139 a night!? How do you beat that!?
seriously though, who is going? I'm working on getting a nice big banner with a few stand outs and what not. I don't want to spend too much time behind a table so it would be kinda like how we have frivolous inventory management for online purposes Just kidding of course

WTG Isaac enjoy your time in the sun. Too bad it is so late in the year as you could have launched the Iguana at the Iguana Bar

Hey Isaac. Thanks for the shout out. Just a brief history of this event. We started a small vaping group here in the Tampa/St.Pete area almost two years ago. Actually, I didn't start it, I just kinda jumped in. I remember going to meetings with as few as six people. every month it just got bigger and bigger so we decided to have a mini "Vapestock". Well, Drew, Cisco and Mamacat flew down and we ended up with about 55 people and had a great time! Then I opened my big mouth (as I've yet to learn silence is golden) and said "Why don't we just have a big party, with no politics and no agendas. Just a much bigger version of what we already do every month. Well the girls (the real brains behind this) held my feet to the fire and Vapestock was born. Since we had such an active, growing group, we decided that if we saved up all the money donated at our meet ups, we could perhaps pay for this thing. Well after a year, we not only raised enough to pay for the banquet room, but for a private pool-side area with cabana's to party all day Saturday and give out memento's to all who attend. All we asked of the vendors attending is to donate gifts for the raffle on Saturday night. Raffle tickets will be given out free to everyone attending as part of the welcome package we will hand out. The response has been pretty overwhelming so far. We have several great, cutting edge vendors, like Ikenvape, attending and folks flying in from around the country. This is truly a great group of people who are ready to show everyone some southern hospitality! It's a group effort and everyone has stepped up and helped so let's get ready to party!!!!
Special thanks go to Linda, Laurel, Jenn and Dereck who have worked so hard to make this happen.
For those looking for more info, there is a link in my signature to the cheesy website I made.

Havent been to Clearwater in over 20 years. Beautiful beach!! Stayed at the HI where VS will be held. The only thing I didnt like about it was you have to walk a few blocks to get to the beach. Im going to try to make it but its not looking good. We will see.

Isaac, everyone is so excited to meet you. Pete's already explained how this came about so I can't add anything to that except that, believe me, we girls didn't have to hold his feet over a fire.

I started a new thread this morning to keep everyone up-to-date as the time draws near: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...-june-10-11-2011-event-peace-love-vaping.html

capt where have you been! We keep asking about you at our meet ups but nobody seems to know what happened to you. I hope you can make it to some of our meet ups and I look forward to seeing you at Vapestock. By the way, our meet ups are alternating between Tampa and St. Pete every other month.

Man, I'm trying to convince the better half (are you the boss?!?!?) that visiting her parents that week in FL would be great for both of us. Lots of cool folks I'd love to put a face to who have helped me on my journey in the vaping world and probably better weather than the Vapefest in St. Louis!

C-ya'll soon!!!!!

 

[alldayvape]

Just made Reservations... You guys better hurry, the King Gulffront Rooms were all already taken.. Had to 'settle' for the 2 Queen Gulffront Rooms..

 

[Pete54]

Anyone who has any issue getting the room they want, please let me know. I'll see what I can do to "splain" it to the Hotel!
PS. you won't be spending much time in your room so don't worry about looking out the window!!! Just come downstairs and meet me at the outside bar and feel the ocean breeze!!!

I just emailed the Hotel and asked them to add as many rooms to all categories as they can. Oh Lordy .....what have we created!!!!

 

[medic123]

We will be there!!!

 

[Chelseafn]

I might be able to go. Can someone tell me how I would get from Tampa airport to the beach? Thanks for any info!
