I hope some TPL members can come to this show. It would be great to meet you in person and burn a bowl.

@Londy3 -- Sounds great! If I'm in Charlotte then I will try to make that happen. Looks like it's about a 3 hour drive to Raleigh from Charlotte.

Londy3

@jfreedy, that would be so awesome!!!

Danfriedman

Does anyone know of pipe events on the west coast?

@Londy3
Man, would I love to attend.  A bit too far for me though

riobrusa

Never been at one pipe show before, if possible for me I'll show up.

Londy3

I'd love to round up a bunch of guys to come out. This could be a blast!

If I lived closer, I would absolutely go to this. Sadly, I don’t think I’d be able to make it, as it’s a bit far for me. I wish I could, as it would be a blast to hang out with the east coast TPLers.

Londy3

@thebadgerpiper, yeah, I understand it's a hike from IL. 

Londy3

@RockyMountainBriar, I wish there was a way we can all meet somewhere.

@Londy3
If it were at a warmer time, a nice cycle ride would do me good🙂

Londy3

@RockyMountainBriar, It will be warm. We start planting our gardens end of February!!

@Londy3
Only problem is....starting from here there could be ice on the road...until  March-April-May?

Londy3

Eeek. I hope some people here can make it!

It's in the teens today on Friday (Wednesday was the warmest in recent times, all the way up to 30°F), and we're being told that both Monday and Tuesday coming will be sub-zero here in southern Maine.

Londy3

Ugh...too cold for this boy! Yuck

motie2

Northern NJ got a light dusting Thursday night, but we're supposed to get a blockbuster this weekend. We'll see.

@Londy3 -- In the meantime, if my SWMBO lets me smoke in front of the dual portable window fan ($30 on Amazon) set to exhaust, maybe yours would, too. Of course, I'm only smoking blends that have a pleasant room note (Barbados Plantation, Molto Dolce, Jolly Old Saint Nicholas, along with LANE VBC, BCA, and RLP-6). She has not complained, but rather  mentioned that it didn't stink like what I used to smoke, (in other words English/Latakia/Balkan blends).

Londy3

@motie2, I love RLP-6 and LL7 a lot, you should try it. I may consider getting the fan since my little man space does not have a door!

Leonard

Max Stokkebye or I (or both) will be there with plenty of tasty goodness to try.
