First, Official, Thursday, Mallsballers, Steemit Meetup at The Jade in Adelaide.
@mattclarke, our unofficial, mallsballers, fearless leader, has set up the last Thursday of each month as a meetup date for Radelaide. Yesterday was the premier. Could the mallsballers keep the Steemit Capital of Australia title? No problem! The turn out consisted of, starting with the black back and going clockwise:
@mattclarke, @nerdfury, @dblstr, @julienghost, @holoz0r / @holozaps, @ursa, @alannapendragon, @lordnigel, @exploreadelaide / @timmm, @realtreebivvy, @thevillan, @o07 / @o07life and me, @minismallholding, behind the camera.
@realtreebivvy and I arrived at The Jade unsure if we'd recognise anyone. So, to the bar and grab a drink, then when no one inside looked familiar (I was looking or for @mattckarke, but photos can be deceiving), we headed outside. I needn't have worried, hubby's chrome dome was instantly recognised and he said, “We're being waved at!”
@holoz0r put the fear into a few people by threatening live stream interviews. It seems his laptop liked the sun about as much as he did though, because it overheated mid @o07 interview. @exploreadelaide / @timmm came prepared with his 360° camera.
It was a great chance to put names to faces and what a friendly bunch everyone was. I urge all the mallsballers who might be reticent about coming to give next months meetup a go. If nothing else you'll get to touch the Steemit silver coin that Matt may or may not have rubbed on his nipples!
It was fantastic to meet you both in person :)
Maybe you can drag the girls out from under the aircon when the weather gets sensible again.
I came home to homemade, giant, double choc cookies! Not sure if I can turn that down!
Can someone please tell me what a mallsballer is?? Can't find a straight answer. Lol weirest term ever.
Cheerio!

Lol! You're not the first to ask! In Adelaide city centre on a street called Rundle Mall there is a statue consisting of giant silver balls. So @mattclarke has dubbed those who live in and around Adelaide, mallsballers.
Very good you post
