Two New Event Ideas For The Global Block Builders Conference - Steemian Music Studio Jam Session & Thrifting Training Session(s)
My goals at the Global Block Builders' conference are to build relationships, create opportunities and have fun.
Here are two things I'm passionate about that I'm happy to organize as events for whoever's interested:
Steemian Music Studio Jam Session
- Hands down, it'd be amazing.
- A great way to make friends and bond.
- Would @ned join us? (Don't make me beg, Ned.)
- A backline setup with keys, a full drum set, microphones, and amps for guitars, etc., will be included.
- Instruments you can't travel with can often be rented there for a reasonable hourly rate.
- We can plan a few covers ahead of time to record.
- Anyone can come to play, sing along, tap a cowbell, or just enjoy the good vibes with some beer.
- I can improv or play almost any genre on the drums for as long as the group wants.
Thrift Store Training Session(s)
- From my posts and SteemFest chats, many Steemians would like to learn how to thrift for profit.
- Several good places are clustered in Austin to hunt in with expert advice.
- I'll help you become a homing missile for identifying profit, while avoiding pitfalls.
- Snipe your own gems and I'll help you sell them when you get back.
- I'll aim for things to flip and ship before the trip is over to lead by example.
- I can take several trips if anyone wants to hustle around during the week.
Latest thrifting post with 7 examples I bought for $55 and sold for $3,538.
This is the first flier since timing will need to be worked out with @steemcafe's team to avoid conflicts. It's open right now. I.J.'s on board and also promised to dust off his 80's rock keytar.
If you're coming to Austin, please let me know if you'd be interested in either.
If you were on the fence and this motivated you to take the leap of faith, that's even better.
My discord is my Steemit name or #9927.
Thanks,
@steemmatt
Loving the ideas coming from the Steem community. Adding community value to the Global Block Builders conference!
I'd love to pick up a guitar or bass with some Steemians. Learning your thrifting secrets would be awesome too.

Yes please to both events!!! @maryjaney and I always talk about how we want to come visit you so we can learn from the thrifting master himself. Now we might have a chance in Austin!
As for a jam session, you know I’m in!
Great ideas. Awesome @steemmatt. Maybe find a bar with open mic. And have a jam session. Tons of places in Austin. Maybe get local musicians to join you. Thrift shop Safari in Austin. Amazing. You have to video tape that. Contact Matt on discord @steemmatt#9927 or me @steemcafe#9459. Let's get this done. Let's spread the word. @coruscate @larrymorrison @jongolson @kenmelendez @nathanmars @daveonarrival. -resteemed-
Some of the larger music studio rooms can fit a lot of people comfortably. Some even host small promo gigs. We'll see what type of musicians/instruments are interested to see what makes the most sense. Can't wait to see you on that badass keytar you always tell me about from your glory days in that big hair band.
I checked out the thrift store landscape and there are plenty of notable spots. I'll have to apologize to the city of Austin for pillaging their stores, and need video coverage to prove I'm actually buying the steals I'll hopefully find.

English text? Maybe your posts are too eloquent that they crash the bot. It's meant for more crude language like mine where the audio makes it more bearable.
Great to hear this. I would also would have love to come but due to financial isuue, i guess i just need to forget about it
I don't like being on camera much, but we'll take plenty of video to share to let you feel like you were there.
Oh. Thank you very much for that
I actually have not been to a global conference before. Never knew how it may feel.
One way to find out.
