In Adelaide, South Australia, for the last year and a half, on the last Thursday of every month, we have had Steem meets with at least half a dozen steemians attend.

We had one last night.

We're a passionate bunch, and you're right - the only thing that makes a place better is the people in it having a willingness to improve their surroundings.

The steemtorch is a pretty idea, sure - but there's something that's been better than that.

Rustle

I wrote about Rustle's purpose and journeys in a recent post:

Essentially, he's a mascot that attends various Steem meets, and has been all over the world.

What purpose does he serve? He builds a human connection between everyone who has interacted with him. He builds the community by giving them something to gather around. He's a physical torch, and has been so far around the world since departing from our humble little city here in South Australia.
