Idea: Who's up for a Steemit meet and greet in the Edmonton, Alberta area
I already know a number of people from around here that are on Steemit. Many of them are homesteaders which already means we have a lot in common. So I'm throwing the idea out onto the blockchain to see how many people would be interested in meeting up for a weekend this summer. Even if you are not from around here, you are welcome to fly in if you want to participate.
Provide your comments and let's see if we can make this work. If there is enough interest, then we can get into formal plans in another post.
Just like they used to do in the olden days! Picture c. 1940. My dad is the smallest boy in the front & middle.
I was so excited for this opportunity until I checked the travel expense and travel time. :-( Why do you live that far away? why? why?
hahaha. I could ask you the same question! I live that far away because this planet is large, yet so very small. She is beautiful beyond belief and we all have found a little patch of heaven upon which to be a Steward of Terra Mater. Because of that, we are confronted with great distances which we have bridged through the use of technology. If we all lived in one spot, it would be impossible to bear. So we went forth and explored!
I'm surprised you had to ask such a question, twice! hahaha
I really feeling missed to join you just because of physical boundaries so I can't join to you .but really good idea and I really would love to join if I residental near to you.thanks for post .keep it up.
I'm sure there will be lots of people blogging about it, sharing pictures, etc. :)
I am looking into to doing a meetup here in Toronto, if you know anybody in Toronto that I should be talking to here on steemit to make it happen, please let me know. I hope you have a good turnout. Steemit + Real-world Relationships = Great Content can't wait to hear about how it goes.
Let me know how that goes for you. The fact that you posted here means you have already spread the word! :)
If by Edmonton you meant Orlando Florida, count me in.
The weather is much warmer down here for a meet and greet.
We can do it up there in July.
😁
hahaha. July or August was what I was thinking. That way the people who have never experienced snow can attend if they want. They will still need a toque, winter coat and gloves as it only ranges between 20 and 35C here depending on whether we are having a heat wave or a down right scorcher of a summer.
I grew up in New York so I experienced snow...enough that I dont want to experience it again.
I love seeing all the pictures from those who are in it...while I am sitting down here in the tropics.
lol. You must have enjoyed my pictures from yesterday then as we dug out from the storm that dumped over a foot of snow in 24 hours.
Thanks brother @wwf this is a really great idea. I love traveling and getting to know each other better. There is no nicer than friendship. I wish everyone to plan something special. Thank you. And my brother's picture is really beautiful. I like to keep you full of memories.
This is great idea. @wwf, You always come up with something really good. I wish I could be part of it but I will have to wait until Steemit site comes in top 100 websites because I believe by then STEEM price will be on the moon.
Steem On!
I would, but flying across canada is wayyy expensive...
I would, but flying from Serbia to Canada is highwayyy expensive.
But, if you get a new, environmentally friendly LED municipal lighting installed over the next year of two, it will be partially thanks to the business plan that I've written for a local innovative Eco-friendly company (a bit bragging can not hurt). Cheers. ^_^
Or we can work on getting a star trek transporter working, that would resolve all kinds of travel issues! Lots of people will be blogging about it. I have no doubt.
Indeed it is. Start walking now and you will get here in time. lol. just kidding obviously. But if you do well with steemit, then a train ride would be the best ecological way to travel. Spectacular journey the train is.
That would be so cool, I've never taken the train! I have fam in bc and see them every couple of summers, so maybe if I don't make it THIS summer you'll do another get together and I'll make it there :)
Awesome idea! I would love to come but flying from Nicaragua is a royal pain! I hope that will be enough interest, then you can meet and post about it and I can attend vicariously!
I wish I was closer to Alberta!! This is a great idea <3
This is an awesome idea. I have been to Canada before so it isn't too far-fetched for me at all. It just depends on dates for me. I am wanting to travel more and meet people that I feel connected to. If it is later in the summer it will be easier for me to participate. I will for sure keep an eye on this and see where it goes. Thank you! 🌟
Thank you for letting me know. Mid August seems to be a good time for people.
I'll be heading to Edmonton sometime in August as well. If the timing works I would LOVE to attend! Might be able to bring some Cedarvillians with me too!
