More photos of North Texas Mini-Meet Here's a shot of Kenny who drove all the way from Tulsa with Chad to enjoy the pleasures of vacuuming with highly vintage Sunbeam Dual Deluxe with optional Turbine brush. As you can tell he was impressed with it's cleaning ability.

Exclusive Mini-Meet coverage... Jay brought this beautiful Royal 880 upright from the collection of Terry Lattz. We can see Chad enjoying the simplicity of it's design and operation.

Modern vacuums at Seans? To contradict the notion that vacuums manufactured after 1974 are not operated at my house, Will is seen operating the most modern of Electrolux's, the Guardian Platinum, a new acquisition by Jay.

First time at a mini-meet... At his first mini-meet, Jess is heard whispering..."does this Hoover Slimline make me look slimmer?" or "New in town, what to see my Kirby Classic?".

No flu shots, but there are clinics... Will is seen servicing the cordreel on his Electrolux Silverado. The tension was high in the room as we watched him extract the cordreel from the aft section of the vacuum with the skill of a large animal veterinarian.

KIrby on the operating table... After Will's successful work on the Electrolux he fixed the handle spring on Jess's Kirby Classic III. After this success the gathered townfolk cheered and enjoyed light afternoon beverages before heading to a Ft Worth vacuum cleaner shop.

mini-meet
“catnip for most of us” I love it because that’s exactly what it was. Brian letting us rummage through his storeroom was fantastic. I pulled out a blue Kenmore twin fan and an attachment set for the gray Electrolux upright that matches the Silverado. The conversation and food were excellent. Sean was funny as always! I’m still laughing thinking about some of the things he said this weekend. For those of you who attend the conventions you know what happens when Sean and John Long get together with their jokes! The laughter never stops! Sean is always so quick with come backs it leaves people like me in the dust.
Seriously, Thank you Sean for putting together such a wonderful mini-meet. Thanks to both you and Jay for providing the meals. Looking forward to the next one. Kenny | ||

I've come to the conclusion. What happens at the conventions stays at the conventions!

Ask Bobby Deregious (spelled wron, I'm sure, sorry)
Joe Kassock, Bobby and I were almost thrown out of a hotel. Morgan almost needed a defribillator.
"Cheetos, anyone?" Everyone start singing, "Conjunction Junction, what's your function? Morgan, may I call you Morgan? Remember The Mall of America? Dropping caskets in snowy cemeteries, nuns and bisexual morticians? Just your average run of the mill conversations. Sean did have a whopper of a time at the table at Stark's Museum. other than that...................................... | ||

You and Sean almost took the table with you! Childs play? That was a cute picture. I forgot about that one. Yes, It's true I did vacuum the downstairs lobby with a 69. Those hotel carpets did needed a good Hoover beating.
Yes what happens at all the above. Stays there! Although I will remember to put my house keys in a safe place! Sometimes, I've been known to let the cat out of the bag! | ||

Yes, Kenny!
There was poor Sean, flat on his back with his legs up in the air..... WHAT A DISPLAY!! I'm sure those lobby carpets were never as clean. I, of course maintained my composure throughout the entire episode .... elitist snob, I mean, professional that I am. Because I do. (Well, becauase i USUALLY do). better?

I’m by no means an expert, but…….
The Lewyt had the electricity running through its wands. They connected by a line running through the center of the wand. This is why some people were electrocuted. The power nozzle was way ahead of its time because it had no belt, just gears. I’m sure ‘others’ know more than I do.
John and Sean sitting at the kids table was a sight to see. I know the both of you were on your best behavior that day! | ||

What a nice time!
Sean once again proved to be a terrific host and made for a memorable time for us all.
It does all start with the people, as all were there just to enjoy each other's company and just have some fun. I do enjoy the fact that the conversations start with vacuum-cleaners but do run the gamut which makes these meets all the more engaging. And thanks Jay for hosting lunch! I'm still tingling... I wonder why? It did take me two cans of Final-Net to get my hair back into place after vacuuming with that Lewyt. However I can now do tricks like lighting fluorescent tubes with my nose. | ||

So very bummed I had to miss this mini-meet this year. Looks like fun was had by all. Knowing a few of the faces in the pictures and of course Sean well, I know I missed out on some great conversation, both about vacuums and umm ….. well you know!! | ||
