Tossing the idea around...

[rainkeltoia]

We were tossing the idea around in another thread about a Vapestocky thing in Vermont area... thinking near Ben & Jerrys /drool. So this is a feeler I guess to see what/who we got thinkin that it might be something they are interested in and when would be a good time.

maybe, sounds good, where abouts is ben & jerry's in vermont

 

[rainkeltoia]

Its in Waterbury, VT Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream - Ben & Jerry's - Factory Tours - Directions

 

[Brewlady]

I'm definitely interested! I'll post a link to this on the New England Vapers Facebook page.

Also posted on The vaping Community page.

Great idea! I'd definitely be interested.

There's also Vermont Vapor in Castleton, VT.

 

[rainkeltoia]

Awesome TY upStomp how far is Castleton from Waterbury?

Thats right...theres Vermont Vapor & Burlington has a great airport for those coming from out of town...we want a vapefest that will also include several Vapor peeps called snails & jokers...could be huge...a location for the gathering should be thought about also..maybe somewhat close to the airport...IMO

oops also an idea of when we could have this!

Good call. Also, I'd advise against having it in the Fall. While the leaves are pretty (or so I've been told - I grew up here and don't even notice them except when raking), hotels will be tough to book and the rates will no doubt skyrocket. Same for ski season.

I was thinking in the spring??? Gives everyone a chance to chime in with ideas & stuff

 

[whiskey]

We'd also need a couple of people who would attack the details, like finding a place to host it at & some one to invite venders too...I offer to be there for starters with BWB

 

[rainkeltoia]

I don't know a ton about vermont but I can look into areas that we could use? I've never even been to a vapestock/vapemeet so i'm not sure how to tackle one.

PS Like idea for late spring

 

[whiskey]

Late spring sounds good...I know little as well except I have been to the airport there & they have loads of big hotels there..maybe someone in the vermont area will help out ...I know of one member that I think can help out...I will look him up~

 

[whiskey]

Okay...It seems that Rutland has also got an Amtrac that comes up from NYC so folks from that way could have a great train ride as well...what we need now are some people to step up & be willing to call some places & see where we could hold this..holiday inn etc..I can take care of the Vender part of things...so lets now hear from you folks out there~

 

[dragonlover]

i would def. be interested in going! I live in mass near Karen and Santo. Late spring sounds great too- def. plenty of time to put in a request for some vacation time from work! ( i need to give a 3 week notice so have missed out on the last two in my area

 

[whiskey]

Well then we need to set a time...I need more feed back from you all if we are going to start setting dates on this thing...round up some members & lets dig into this

 

[Brewlady]

Count me in. I don't mind trying to locate and/or negotiate with a hotel. I just started working full time (after 20+ years of part-time) so I don't have tons of spare time, but we should be able to pull together enough vapers to make the first New England Vapers convention a success.

I went to University of Vermont for a bit. It is so pretty up there!!

 

[rainkeltoia]

Hopefully we don't have a rough spring -- it'd be nice for it to not be freezing when we do it! Probably May-ish? Anyone else got any suggestions?
