Summers are so quiet on the forums...

[Kent Brooks]

...get out and enjoy this weather my friends! As much as I enjoy your company, it would be a travesty not to get off the computer and do something truly nutty!

So - I've been reflecting on this trip out East...

For those of you that are unaware... 2 weeks ago...

I left Omaha, headed for Chicago for the SFATA Conference. 3 days and 2 nights in Chicago. Took off from Chicago and spent a day and a night in Toledo OH, a day and a night in Cleveland OH, a night in Pittsburg, 2 days and 2 nights in Hamburg PA for the Pennsylvania vape Expo, one day and one night in Philly, 2 days and 1 night in Baltimore with my cousin and his lovely girlfriend, one early morning totally canvassing Columbus OH, and one afternoon - evening in Dayton OH with probably one of the best vape shops I have been in yet... WOW. Yea, I said it - you have to get to Ohio NOW and rally because there's some wild suggestions about taxing eliquid there. Ouch!

...to be continued...

Welcome back, Clark and glad you had such a great time! I enjoyed following your progress on the FB page. Hope it was a successful trip . Ohio isn't the only state getting ready for that. Even here in Texas, one of the last bastions of anti-big government, passed some vaping related handbills that will open the door for just such a thing. I guess BT/BP's big money and influence can even corrupt such a conservative and independent state as Texas!

When states have borrowed large sums of money from BT in anticipation of future taxes derived from tobacco sales people quitting smoking hurts them as the states are in hock to BT....they owe the devil and we have to pay.

I feel for you northern folks. Must get crazy when you are snowbound. So, in a move to make you feel better I just want to say I spent Christmas day swimming at the beach.

Of course I was hanging out at the tiki bar vaping and drinking.

Hamburg PA for the Pennsylvania Vape Expo

How did I miss this?!? That's only 20 minutes from me.
Damn, I wish I saw your travel post sooner!

You poop. What happened to stopping in Cincinnati? I was going to buy you a meal and a beer or something.

Clark, related question to your trip but watching your travels via FB I'm wondering if you ever wear a shirt? I'm all for being comfy so I'm fine with either shirt or no shirt just curious.

I ran out of gas, needed to get home - and - I dumped a ton of liquid in Dayton, OH.

Shirts are overrated I do garb up if I go in the lab obviously - but - if I am just chillin' in my home office, usually no shirt

I don't like the beach and love the snow don't feel for me...The liberal northeast is my gigs

Although - may as well have been swimming this christmas...50 degrees and flooding rains...wacky

It was a smaller show. We didn't really advertise that much - it was a spur of the moment thing. We ARE going to be in Miami - and - we are going to be in Pittsburg. I still haven't decided on Jersey. ECC is a no brainer.

We're talking about having a live artist on site making some sick, one of a kind live art... all while people taste the liquid... pretty cool.

He's from Iowa. Dudes from Iowa only wear shirts on Sundays.

Does wearing a jacket without a shirt in the winter count?

I'd argue it does....because I stepped outside once when it was -20, nekkid...and um, that's just not a good idea...

Regulation played a large role in my trip East. Advocacy is probably a better word. Getting a gimpse of what B&M's are going through was helpful. I passed straight through Indianna - OMG, Casino Style Security? Really? If anyone wants the liquid so bad as to bust down the door and steal da jooose, just ask for a free bottle... sounds like you need a job
