Howdy, I'm brand spankin' new here, first post and this caught my eye being that I live here in town (Saratoga Ave & 280 area). Been addicted ever since I can remember... Example- when I was 9yo, my bedroom window faced an open field, I saved up for one of those Qbeam BlackMax spotlights and rigged it up to a car battery. Spent hours at that window shinning that thing around (strange child :laughing: )

Anyway, is anyone welcome to this shindig? Or do I need a certain number of posts to qualify? ;)

Thanks!
Woody

Surefire E2D (Steve Ku drop-in) - LumaPower Trust2 - Maglight (Triple led) - DEFT edc (ordered 9/23/11)

:wave: welcome to the forums! :party:

also, I will be bringing a jetbeam RRT-0 to raffle off :)

Since I live 5 million miles away any food I make would turn cold.

Bring cold food - salad, chips and dip, caviar (Costco has some good stuff on sale for only $50 an ounce), etc.

Great! Thank you. I have come across CPF many times in the past... seems any time I google something flashlight / led related the forum in the top results. This thread got me to pull the trigger.

I'm working on the posts and if mods allow this one I'm 2/3's of the way there:sssh:
"If it is obvious that your posts are nothing more than an attempt to 'get your three posts out of the way', your posts will NOT be approved."
:eek:

I've got time and lots of questions, just need to take the time to read the rest of the rules, search, and all that jazz.

Thanks again for welcoming me.

Hey folks, I'm hoping to make it this weekend. I'm brining and Alpha prototype that makes 80K lux @ 1m and some home made cookies! I heard my light didn't "show" during the last thrower GTG. Hoping to remedy that :devil:
