Super-Duper, Mega, Mega, Mega Denver Vape Meet a
Boffo Success!
The long anticipated Denver Vape Meet was held this Sunday past and exceeded expectations of the wildest order. Authorities had prepared for a modest sized participation but were overwhelmed when more than 200,000 vapors showed up to share in the festivities. Emergency calls went out to all law enforcement agencies throughout the state of Colorado to help with traffic control and watch for potential looting of the hundreds of vendors tables and booths that had been set up to sell mods, juices and accessories. It is a credit to the vaping community that there were no reports of attempted thefts or unruliness by the vape meet participants.
Expecting burgers, chicken, beans, cole slaw and other typical barbecue fare the crowd was instead treated to a smorgasbord of Prime Rib, Lobster, Filet Mignon, King Crab Legs, Foie Gras, Oysters on the Half Shell and bushels upon bushels of Rocky Mounty Oysters... (not to be confused with the Oysters on the Half Shell. The scrumptious fare was all washed down with chilled Cristal Champagne and other adult beverages.
The National Meteorological Society issued a weather phenomenon alert when their sensors detected a never before seen cloud hovering over Denver in an otherwise cloudless sky. The alert was cancelled shortly after realizing that it was not the foreshadowing of an alien invasion but rather glorious clouds of multi-scented vapor.
Prior to being allowed entrance to the event Secret Service Agents, who were on hand to protect the priceless exhibit of Trippy Tips confiscated all cell phone cameras so as not to compromise Trippy Tip trade secrets. Fortunately several of our intrepid photo journalists were able to smuggle spy cameras disguised as ProVari's past their watchful eyes. (We are sorry to report that one of our reporters was discovered engaging in his First Amendment rights and was physically dragged away kicking and screaming. His portion of the meal was shared equally among others.)
Although space does not allow to share all of the photos, (especially the 5 Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders and their brass poles), nor relate all of the activities we shall post a small part of what transpired;
Sitting atop the Reo VV Grand is the newest technology in tactical Trippy Tips invented, and made by Pietro. When it was discretely pointed out to him that the tip was cattywhumpus he calmly explained that if the Navy Seals could have guns that shoot around corners he could have a Trippy Tip that could vape around corners. (It's rather sad that he's so proud of it... Bert, the Trippy Tip, Grand Poobah was not as elated.)
During the course of the festivities Bert, (the event host and resident artisan), brought out a selection of one of a kind, custom, museum quality Trippy Tips. The gasps of appreciation were deafening as he placed them on the podium for all to view... without touching.
All but Pietro abided by Bert's admonishment as to their pricelessness and not to physically touch them. As usual, Pietro couldn't follow orders and the priceless Trippy Tips now reside in a new home. (Other people may have been surprised... I wasn't.)
Midway through the vape meet the mansion had to be evacuated. Luckily one of our photo journalists was equipped with a telephoto lens and was able to capture this photo from long distance as Pietro attempts to disarm a bomb that he mistakenly constructed while attempting to wrap a new coil/wick. (The crowd was actually disappointed when he disarmed it without mishap.)
For those who have never had the pleasure of seeing the vape meet host, Bert, of world famous, Trippy Tips, we are pleased to present him to you. Unfortunately Pietro snuck into the photo... he has a nasty habit of doing such things.
Fortunately we have another picture of Bert without Pietro... unfortunately some unknown, homeless guy snuck in just as the picture was taken.
Another picture of Pietro. Thank God Bert and that elderly, homeless guy were able to rush in at the last moment.
Our review of the Denver Vape Meet would not be complete with out introducing our gracious and beautiful hostess, Bert's wife, Beata. (Pay no attention to the man on the left.)
As the Vape Meet of all vape meets came to a conclusion all were pleased that it had been sans any ugly incidents... until the sharp eyes of a Secret Service Agent noticed something out of order and Pietro was stopped while trying to sneak out the back door of the mansion. A search of his bag revealed that he was trying to abscond with a Reo VV Grand, a Reo Mini, a cell phone with charging cable, a specialized shipping bag filled with recently completed Trippy Tips and the severest insult of all... a container of left over Devil's Egg, Potato Salad. It boggles the mind as to how a fellow vapor could stoop so low. (The Secret Service Agent was kind enough to use a silencer so as not to upset Bert's dog when he shot Pietro... just a little.)
Except for the unfortunate incident at the end of the meet a wonderful time was had by all and our wholehearted thanks goes out to Bert and Beata for hosting such a glorious event.
