If you don't mind me asking, just exactly HOW was John Long coming off as passive aggressive in his postings on this thread? The way I read them, he was coming across as civil and polite. Nothing at all negative. And btw, last time I checked, just because we share the same hobby does NOT mean we have to befriend everyone....if John did have personal issues with another member here and chose to "alienate" them, as you put it, he is certainly entitled to it.
Furthermore, you are BRAND NEW on this site, and your first post is to criticize a long standing member and one helping run the VCCC? I know John actually, and he is extremely nice to talk to. Maybe you should learn to wait and get to know someone and their character before you pass judgment.
I think the one coming across as passive aggressive here is YOU. I have to question your true motives....you say you're from Ohio, yet your email address in your profile ends in .de, indicating your email was set up with a German service provider. Very suspicious indeed! I would be careful who you set up alliances with in this community. With comments like that, you're literally walking into a minefield and begging to make enemies.

Those are some terrific finds for your collection! That Electrolux Model T in particular....damn is that ever a find! Very mint condition.
If you don't mind me asking, how are you liking the new Riccar 25 upright? It looks nice, but there certainly has been a mixed bag of opinions on it and whether it's worth the money compared to some other makes, like Sebo.

John is very nice, no one denies this. He's an awesome dude from what I hear. I have collector friends as well. Bear in mind I just came here to look at photos which aren't up as of yet.
The comments about the hotel to the other member reek of passive aggressiveness. "Fortunate to have that generosity"? As if people aren't de facto generous? "I had nothing to do with your impromptu participation?" As if one needs prior permission? "You were lucky they had a vacant room for you" as opposed to"I'm happy to hear you found a place to stay?" These are all a bit snarky. Everyone is a tad passive aggressive, but this is off the charts. Why not be kind.....
And I've viewed this forum for over 7 years, and only recently decided to create an account. I do much appreciate all the knowledge I've gained from here over the years.

Well, there is a lot you are unaware of.
This is not going to be the place for me to name names. I will not want to go there or give more attention to some (more than 1) who'd crave the attention.
That hotel stuff only concerns a few people.
Yes, I, too, have aright to be upset when people say things about me. some not true.
Was I 'snarky'? Probably, yes. Am I perfect? No. I know my faults as, I hang out with myself a lot.
If you were not at the convention, you do not know the whole story. OR the backstory leading up to my 'snarkiness'.
For the record, Rob Shore and I have messaged each other. We have a very clear picture of our future.
This forum will not be the place to discuss. And, yes, although others took photos too, I have not gotten the time (for legit reasons) to post mine. Also, I will not be bullied/shamed into posting on a certain timeline. There are several nasty/snarky/mean-spirited comments from a few aimed at me. I'm not crying "poor victim". But, I may not be the pr**k I'm portrayed to be. If anyone would care to speak personally, live, feel free to phone me.
The next thread will be back on task.
Thanks, everyone.

well anyway....
I very much enjoyed my first visit to a VCCC convention, Everyone was very kind and welcoming. Also bonus points because I got to use a Eureka Victory for the first time in 10 years!

Photos / Videos
I uploaded some pictures and videos captured by myself and other members to the club's website. I've read the comments on here and I feel these should be shared. It was a fun convention. We had about 35 members/guests a few members were only able to attend on Saturday.
It was great to meet you Matthew! See you next year in New Mexico.

Pictures?
It would be great if the Scranton convention attendees would post a few pictures. In any event, if you wait too long, people lose interest. If the Vccc wants to spark an interest with its members attending future conventions, like next year’s New Mexico convention, pictures of this past weekend‘s event should be posted in a timely manner.
This is the first convention I have missed, in 24 years.

Here are but a few.
A group shot outside my home, a pic at Joe Kassock's, and, of course, the 'staircase'.

sorry

trying to post some pics of the dinner
at my home.
They'll arrive.
But, the menu was: (3) macaroni salad, cranberry sauce, Italian chicken (not parm), fresh fruit salad (with a home made glaze), chocolate cake (my great aunt's 100 yr old recipe), pepper cookies, water, sodas, and iced tea. Everything was home made. I am hearing everyone enjoyed it. a few asked for recipes.

Some maynot have known, but
a 6 person crew came and documented everything for an upcoming documentary.
Thant should be interesting.
When they saw Mike Pletcher's 12foot tall Hoover vacuum model, his mouth dropped. "Oh my gosh. I've never seen anything like this before".
That, the 2 (different model Os) and the HOOVER Balloon (loaned to me by Tom Anderson), made quite a spectacle.
Was fun. I told you there were a few surprises.
Some enjoyed the Anthracite Heritage Museum, the Lackawanna Station, The Coney Island Hot Dogs, Steamtown (train and trolley museum).
Lots to see, do, eat, enjoy!
