RE: Rocky Mountain Region STEEM/Steemit Accelerator Meetup: Gauging Interest Phase
A Community of Flesh and Blood Rather than Bits and Bytes
Spot on! I concur, and fully support your efforts in cultivating a strong Rocky Mountain Region Steemit meetup!
This blockchain exists to empower the physical communities it serves, as much as to empower the virtual ones. After all, everyone of us lives somewhere, and is a part of some place... Indeed, tis nearing time for Steem / Steemit to bubble over into the day to day.
I am one of the organizers of Steemit Minneapolis Meetup, along with @mada. Winter had its hibernating effect, and the group has remained dormant for some time... But Spring is upon us, and communities are just around the corner. It's time to begin planting seeds.
We will also have to expand our efforts and become a regional hub. (Although, we must beware of claiming the whole Midwest, lest we create a feud with Chicago. I suppose Madison, WI could be our Geneva.)
Anyhow, glad to read this post, agree in so many ways! I'll keep an eye out for your posts and try to stay in touch, we are natural allies. :) Cheers!
@lovejoy Thanks for taking the time to read and comment. I appreciate it.
The thought is something I've been kicking around for a bit, but I have to see what the appetite of the community here is. Thanks for the words of encouragement. If you happen to have anyone in your network from the Rocky Mountain region, please have them reach out to me. I will be putting together a meetup on Meetup.org in the next two days, so we shall see where it goes from there.
I will definitely send anyone I know your way! It will be good to begin forming a picture of who's organizing where, and begin sharing resources... but, one step at a time. ;)
