Had a great time!

Thank you for allowing me the impromptu last second meetup. I had a great time with you all on Saturday and Sunday. I got the opportunity to meet many new faces in addition to re-visiting with some that I haven't seen in a while.

Sorry my camera didn't emerge but I look forward to seeing photos posted from many others.

Safe travels home to all, and have a great week ahead. Hope everyone has a wonderful 4th of July next week as well!
 
Photos of club meeting

Hello all, this is my first official post here. I've been lurking in the shadows for a while.

After 200+ postings about the club meeting in Pennsylvania, I'm pretty sure we're all waiting with great anticipation to see some photos. I hope some of the attendees will post some!

Felicitations and Salutations,

Brad Morris,

I got into PA sat night around midnight and stayed with Sam Addison, when I got to the hotel Sunday morning, I was greeted by a few people who were familiar to me. Sat down, had breakfast and some wonderful conversation before saying goodbye to some of the people leaving. Afterwards we went to Chathams vac shop. Chuck was by far the sweetest person I have ever met, as soon as we walked in he said, “ just about everything is for sale just ask” I walked out with some goodies that I have been wanting for a long time and although I no longer collect I figured I’d add these to what I’m keeping. Some of the people I met were, Kenny Loveland, Chad Cunningham, Phillip Muller, Maverick and his wife Jess , Bill Kirby (who was so kind), Chris Moore, and there were a few more. I don’t remember names that well sadly. Among some of the familiar faces, was Joe Kassock, John Long, Rob Shore, Luke Gebhart. For the short period of time I was there it was calm, cool, collective and it seemed like everyone got along well and had some fun. I might go to the next one but I’m not sure depending on some things that are in the works, but! I am planning on possibly going out to another convention in MO in September depending on the same situation!
Here are some photos of what came home with me from Chucks store.

Chuck's store was great! I came home with a few good purchases. No vacs but various parts for uprights and canisters in my collection and for friends.

In terms of a room John, I wouldn't know if the hotel had vacancies or not. I was given offers of places to stay by others so didn't need to look into that. Thanks so much Kenny, Chad, Sam and others.

I enjoyed meeting many new faces, Liam and his family, Mike Pletcher, Phil Muller, Brett and many more.

Sorry I didn't make it to John's on Friday but I'm glad I could make it to Joe's on Saturday. Thanks so much for sharing your collection and tons of delicious pizza.
 
Passive Agressive

Sorry I feel I must interject here.

John, the passive-agressiveness from you is so far off the scale, it's overtly obvious you lack some introspection on this matter, and it comes off as childish. If in fact you truly enjoyed seeing everyone as you claim you did, perhaps you would cease alienating certain members due to petty personal issues. We share the same interest which is a rarity in itself, so treat people, including fellow members as you wish to be treated, be respectful, wish people well, and if you have nothing nice to say, perhaps it's best left unsaid.

Or in vacuum terms, change out that years-old old bag for a fresh one.
