First Steemit Meetup in Aachen
Dear friends and followers,
yesterday I attended the first Steemit-Meetup in Aachen. The event was hosted (and perfectly organized) by @detlev, who also offered us his office.
I know @detlev from Steemfest², where he did a great talk about his #beersaturday challenge and even organized a beer ralley, that took us to some fine drinking-venues in Lisbon.
Besides @detlev and me (@shortcut), there were six more users at the meetup:
@arcange - a witness from Belgium, who also developed SteemSQL, SteemitBoard, Steem.NET and SteemToolbar
@asperger-kids - a digital nomad and writer, who also creates wonderful dolls and figures
@neuewegegehen - a new user, who wants to find and go new paths and share the process with her readers
@ooschmann - a workmate of @detlev, who is also into electrical engineering and informatics
@cryptonik - a web developer, who currently lives in New Zealand and is also into Philosophy, Guitar-playing and Free Speech
@jedigeiss - an IT manger and musician, who is the brain and marketer behind the first MMORP on the Steem blockchain called Steempunk.net
Here is @jedigeiss giving us a very interesting talk about Steempunk.net and the ideas behind it. We were also looking at some useful tools like Steemworld.org, Steemreports.com and SteemitBoard.
Then there were some special guests, that @asperger-kids brought to the meeting. Those are all hand-made models of a Steem-mascot called "Roby", she crafted after seeing one of my sketches.
You can read more about those funny guys here and here.
To my greatest surprise and joy, @asperger-kids gave me the first two Roby figures as a gift. I felt so lucky and blessed. Thank you again! That really made my day :-)
It was way time to drink one of the fine Belgian beers, that @detlev has bought for all of us, payed with the rewards of the Meetup-announcement posts.
Later some of us went to a nice pub called "Hotel Europa"...
.. where we had some more chilling conversations...
... and even some more beer.
Thanks to everybody who made this Meetup a success and an inspiration with his/her presence.
And much thanks again to @detlev, who was a perfect host!
See you all pretty soon at the next meetup!
@shortcut - art, photography and more
Yes, the game @Jedigeiss has created (with others) is really heading places! I wish I could have been there to hear what he was saying! (not that I would have understood a word of it....)
@asperger-kids those models you made are looking great! Looking forward to your next chapter!
You would have understood him, because he was talking in English, so that @arcange was able to follow his talk. Maybe next time. And yes, I also love the small robots of @asperger-kids :-)
Immer mehr lokale Steemit Kreise entstehen. Das ist doch wunderbar, oder?
Ich finde es auch total cool zu sehen, dass es auf den Treffen immer wieder neue Gesichter gibt. Und so ein lokales Treffen ist eine super Möglichkeit, sich besser kennenzulernen und zu vernetzen.
Damn! Those people sure know how to smile! Everybody is so happy haha! What a great thing for you all to meet up. Such creative f9lks, I just love to be at such meeting someday!

Haha, yes! Especially @detlev is very good in smiling :-) There are some fine Steemians in the Netherlands already. For example @roelandp is the guy, that organized the international Steemfests on such a perfect level, that I'm sure it would be easy to do a local meetup.
Oww that is just great! I hope to meet him sometime! =D either digitally or indeed locally. I am always up for great an inspiration folks to get to know.
Thanks for the help you have bene offering me. It's been a breeze!

As beeing on stage as a speaker - it is something I love - I mean smiling and action pictures.....
Super Post, danke @shortcut für den tollen Bericht.
Ich war bis So. Abend off uns sehe das eben erst.
War ein toller Event und der nächste wird die Tage angekündigt.
Auf jeden Fall! War super organisiert, sehr informativ und hat viel Spaß gemacht.
Bis zum nächsten Mal ;-)
Love the roborts by @asperger-kids and your photos captured the cozy atmosphere!
Thanks :-) I also love those little guys and especially the idea of collaborating behind it.
Tolles Treffen. Resteemed :-)
Vielen Dank! Deine Resteems sind immer sehr willkommen ;-)
Meine gute, das ging ja voll ab bei euch ;-))) Super zu sehen dass ihr euch getroffen habt. Everytime i read that there was a meetup, i feel sad, that i cannot be there....
Haha, das liegt an der Energie, die entsteht, wenn sich ein paar Steemians im Real-Life treffen. Ist auf jeden Fall immer sehr inspirierend. Im Zweifel müsst ihr einfach selbst mal ein Treffen organisieren ;-)
wow. that was great,
indeed a wonderful time to meet brilliant steemians,
and for the future of all steemians,
Yes, those kind of meetups prove the impact of Steemit in real-life. There is always a real positive energy around, when Steemians meet ;-)
Oh... a little bit far away :-( ... but I can host you guys here in Switzerland... if you are not afraid of mannequins ;-)
Big plastic-hug
Steemitri The Mannequin
Haha, we‘re certainly not afraid of plastic mannequins :-) I know some fine Steemians from Switzerland and will tell them, that you’re interested in a meetup!
Haha, thanks a lot @shortcut ;-)
och verdammisch nochemal ... da hab ich ja richtig was verpasst :(
Hoffe Ihr hattet alle ein gute Zeit?
LG
Die hatten wir auf jeden Fall :-) Habe gehört, dass du beim nächsten Treffen etwas GentleGin vorbeischicken willst ;-) Vielleicht organisiert ihr ja auch mal ein Treffen im Osten? Das wär doch was!
Glaube, dass @homeartpictures so was in der Art schon in der Planung hat.
... alternativ werde ich versuchen beim nächsten Meetup vielleicht dabei zu sein
Cool! Das klingt doch gut :-) Cheers!
Dann machen wir eine Gin-Runde....
