Sharing Kansas City Steemit Summer Party Experience and Links
Great time meeting & interacting with Steemit users and sharing links of projects related to people I met in person!

With my recent experience I want to take the time to share links related to Steemit, people and projects I have had the opportunity to interact with and sometimes lend my assistance. So much has changed since last summer with my catapulted involvement in so many places with lots of fun to be had and many challenges and even more rewarding experiences.
Will be talking on BeyondBitcoin of this recent experience to explore how we may work on and help others with community events related to steem(it) & other crypto as we work together to spread the use and usability. You may vote on my comment to have me speak earlier HERE: RE: [Guest Signups] Beyond Bitcoin Hangout #213 - 6/30/17. You're invited to check out other projects presented this Friday at 10 AM including: @mrwang's News, Entertainment & Marketing Team, A WangChange Project, and @thekyle's AskSteem Updates/OpenSteem.org.
Backtracking to last summer for a moment when I started interacting with people I found myself working with @sykochica on her founded idea of Steemprentice which we hope to bring back to life more in the near future. As I little mention @steemprentice is now set to vote current members with 10% votes which may be noticed today onward. Will do a post explaining more in the near future. Was great to meet after all this time.

Steemit Photo Challenge: Entry 2 - Post Steemit Meetup Breakfast!
Great time having breakfast with @sykochica & @jacobts where we talked about many ideas. Look forward to seeing some ideas implemented and working with these two in the future!
Steemit Business Cards : Download > Print > Share 100% Free! by @steempowerpics
#SteemGigs: I'm in need of a Graphic Designer to make a Business Card
Great to see the response for this idea! Would love to see other things like pens and pads of paper that I mentioned at some point. These would be great at meetups to spread the word and as tools for people to be ready to take notes. Unused tools such as these could be given / shown to current and potential steem(it) users.

My first EVER Steemit Meetup! What an Amazing time at the Steemy Summer Party in Kansas City!
I was also really excited to be able to meat the non-virtual @VirtualGrowth who I've worked with for so long dating back all the way to the beginning of the Steemprentice mentor group. ~ @sykochica
After the Party I got to have dinner with @sykochica & @jacobts both of whom I had a great time chatting with for many hours over the course of the weekend.
Thank you to @jacobts for two nights of a place to sleep and great hospitality who I have offered to help anyway I may and look forward to working with and meeting again some day! Originally bought a round trip ticket but decided to stay longer and ride with them back to St. Louis to spend more time together and extend my trip which resulted in another (one way) plane ticket back to Las Vegas. We also stopped at a Russell Stovers Store where I got some dark chocolate. :)
Breakfast for Champions in KC MO
Was delighted to make this tasty breakfast for friends and steemit champions, @Sykochica and @VirtualGrowth... ~ @jacobts
The Kansas City Steemit Summer Party Stories
Buddy. It's been an honor getting to hang with you. Thanks for stopping by the Show Me State on your Freedom Flow. And just so everyone knows, thanks for all the generosity you share with everyone. ~ @jacobts
Thank you for the great time at KC Summer Steem Party!
Kansas City's First Steem Party 2017 Was A Success! Check Out The Video
Initially I was only thinking of going with my reply, "50% chance of attending as I would like to, but not near by but traveling around I may stop by for this. Will better figure out my travels as this gets closer."
Then I read some replies thatvalued my visit from @jacobts, "It would be a humble honor to meet you and the other pillars of power here in person." & @stellabelle, "it would be so cool if you could come. I know we would have a lot to discuss, especially the Steemgigs stuff....which I am going to focus on more now... plus you're such a cool person. Please?"
How could I not go along with the chance of meeting many people I would love to meet!? Thank you to everyone for the amazing experience!
VG Spotted at KC Summer Steem Party with Early Responders Links!
Was great to meet @jessamynorchard and see and hear her perform for us as well recording a few songs which you may check out here:
♫Jessamyn Orchard - Live at KC Steemit Summer Party and Steemit Local Music Society! ♬
Also sent her a surprise 100 SBD tip in a great appreciation of her showing up to perform along with looking for ward to her work with starting the Steemit Local Music society.
Normally set out a tip jar when I perform live, but am considering a virtual tip jar (i.e. You like it? Tip me in Steem or SBD transfer for this performance in lieu of (or maybe in addition to?) the jar.
Seems my STEEM found the virtual tip jar from my virtual being ... and was then powered up! :)

@virtualgrowth ultimate thanks. For everything.
Not just for the support of my content and ideas, but for all you do for the platform as a whole and your literal wealth of wisdom and practical knowledge.
It sounds so sentimentally-sappy, but honestly, I can't even express how privileged I felt to finally meet and talk to you. I'm still processing everything I took in while I was there. All my Steemit love to you, my friend. Thank you for making it to hang out with us.
All love. <3 ~ @jessamynorchard
Most ultimately welcome!

Geat to meet and chat with @fungusmonk, who helped us clean up, & @sylviategan who I chatted with some between listening to and recording @jessamynorchard.
It was really great to meet you @virtual growth! Enjoyed speaking with you!! A fair amount of what you were talking about was almost like a foreign language... But I love to learn!! I am going to get a bitshare account & will let you know my bitshares name! :) Thanks!! ~ @sylviategan

KC STEEMY SUMMER PARTY - THE OFFICIAL RECAP FROM PAPA-PEPPER by @papa-pepper
But where are you? Never saw one photo of you! ~ @surpassinggoogle
I almost got a great photo of you myself in this selfie...
Not sure what happened. Your face was totally there a minute ago. ~ @papa-pepper
@virtualgrowth has metaphysical powers which allow his face to disappear or magically be covered by an icon. He's a wizard. :) ~ @jessamynorchard
Last I remembered, @virtualgrowth had been in Florida, so when I found out that @virtualgrowth was going to be at the party, I really wanted to come. It was great to meet @virtualgrowth and I was impressed with the technical knowledge that @virtualgrowth has, since I am not so techy. Though you may see the body in some of the meetup posts, you will not be seeing the face of @virtualgrowth. That's one of the cool things about steemit too; even when someone wants to remain anonymous online, they might still come out to meet you face to face! ~ @papa-pepper

Seems @virtualgrowth has to try to get to more meetups to catch you with this Steem-tastic four year old! ~ @virtualgrowth

Ten Reasons to go to a Steemup, Steemfest, Steem Party or other Community Meetup by @reedracer
After this great experience I am thinking of dedicating more of my time & energy to meetups of various kinds & places.
Thank you to everyone in the steemit community that has helped make sch a thing possible and more to come!
Best,
These meetups are a great idea!
Looks like you had a good time there and thanks for sharing the links to the various projects :)
Yes and welcome!
So nice meeting you as well. I'm up patching servers like a mercury-addled hatter! Thanks for the resourcefulness or this record!
Have fun & welcome!
@virtualgrowth Wonderful post! Upvoted
On a sidenote, may I have a word with you in private on Discord? PM me when you have time, I'd like to ask you something please.
Thank you
Thanks & of course.
lol wow so cool! I was literally just in Kansas city I wish I would have known about this
Maybe next time!
I really hope to see more of these meet ups happen and to attend as many as possible! Last weekend in Kansas City was an incredible learning experience for me. I'm so grateful for all of the knowledge that everyone was more than eager/happy to share with me! Thanks for being a part of it, @virtualgrowth!
Great to here. Me too, so may be concentrating more of my time on such ideas & events. You are most welcome!
So great!! Thanks for the mention!!
Most welcome!
Damn.... would love to join the meet up , sadly i m in malaysia . The steemit community aint big over here, its not very well known
Wait. So there is no party coming up? I live in kc. This got me super excited for a minute
Last weekend, so the next one won't be too soon.
Awwwww. How do you find out about this type of thing?
By learning who is in your area. I suggest following the people that attended to find out this type of thing.
I'm really excited for when Steemit becomes a great community where I live! So we can also start having parties like this :D
Feel free to check out my value-driven entrepreneurial content. Would love to know what you think!
