I’m organizing a meetup for r/flashlight and thought I’d post here too. It’ll be about a half hour north of Tyler, TX. Send me a message for specific time and location details!
We’ve had a blast at previous meetups and this time we’ve got a new location with even further distances and even darker skies!
At the previous meetups we’ve hung out, chatted about lights, compared collections, tested other users’ lights, and taken a lot of great photos. It’s been a blast the last couple of times we’ve done it.
Reminds me of the story where a rather boisterous cowboy-type was guffawing, “Yeap, everything’s bigger in Texas!”, and slapped his wife’s rather ample behind.
Then she wags her pinky at him and deadpans to the snickering onlookers, “No, not everything…”.
Unfortunately I’m a lot closer to Canada than I am to Texas. If I lived in the neighborhood I’d probably show up to test drive a bunch of lights. Sounds like a great way to try before buying!
