While I'm pretty stoked to attend steemit meetup type events (coming from someone who doesn't usually like bigger crowds or interacting with a bunch of strangers) it may take me a bit, having limited funds and being in the heart of the midwest US.

Maybe I can video in on skype, or if you have the ability to stream some of it live :) It's probably be cool to have a community chat room that can interact with people there. Let those your introducing connect with existing members.

Just a thought, I still love it though :)
