edited September 2009 in PAX Archive
Ok so!, last year was kind of odd we did smoke hookah but it wasnt as organized, so this year i plan on setting a solid time for each night when i (and most likely leaf) will have our hookahs up and running! anyone who want to contribute to making this little sub-event even better, post here and PM me with suggestions! i have more than one hookah this year and i am most likely going to have one more by then! also im going to make this clear since we had issues on the forum last year

1: PLEASE dont post about adding green plant matter to the shisha, it wont happen and its not worth posting.
2: YES i am aware of washington state tobacco laws, and smoking in freeway park is OK... ive done it like 3-4 years in a row.
3: For those who dont know what a hookah is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hookah
4: Bringing shisha would be awesome if you cant bring a hookah.
5: you MUST be 18 to smoke, its the law kids!

now. lets make this happen! YAY PAX

    cool man, yeah we just encourage anyone who wants to to bring em, if you have twitter it will be a good idea to follow the hookah page at least when it gets close to the event itself, glad to have you on board! also.

    i heard you like equations so i put a derivative inside your derivative so you can derive while you derive!

    might be a good idea to make updates private on that twitter, though. don't want too many people showing up, your call, though.

    the point is that we WANT anyone and everyone to show up, even if you dont have a hookah, ill have disposable mouth pieces and such, and plenty of shisha, im hoping that before PAX well have a bunch of people offering to bring hookahs, last year we had a few people, bu had trouble coordinating the whole thing so this year im going to stay on top of it.

    leaf isn't bringing himself this year either, let alone the hookah :\

    Haven't been able to find work for the last few months, so I've had to cancel every damn vacation I had planned for this summer.

    Mines working fine though, mostly by using plumbing tape to shore up that weird weak connection the stem and base were making. It's been fine ever since. Two hose deal that's been at pax almost every single year.

    It's too bad, I really haven't been able to figure out any way of getting there. I even bought the ticket beforehand back when I had spending money too.

    Hahaha, that's a great idea. I smoked a ton of shisha when I was in Egypt and brought back a bunch. Too bad It's not legal for me to do it here, as I'm 16 and I wouldn't want to make it awkward.

    yes, arrests = bad at pax (especially). the police are cool there, but if they get a reason to be bothering people, that would make bad times for all involved.

    I have never had the chance to smoke a hookah before... would love to give it a try. I would like to contribute some shisha... can I get it from most smoke shops? Any type that is better?

    This event needs to be much more organized this year. Last year Romulas sucked at communication :P I'll be bringing my hookah, sheesha, coals and a torch for those who dont have self-lited coals. That would be tight if some of the key-hookah'ers wanna share a hotel room- I'd be down.

    I'd love to help contribute to the event, but anyone have any idea if it'd be an issue getting shisha on a plane?

    I dont think it would be any different than bringing a pack of cigarettes on board.

    hmm, maybe- I know they're kinda touchy about liquids and the like so I was unsure if that would be an issue- but I guess we'll see.

    Yeah it's not the canadians fault our phones get fucked by ridiculous american carrier charges while down there, so updating anything via sms was impossible. And have fun and smoke a pack of djarums or camel crushes for me out there too.
