WISCONSIN STEEMIT MEETUP TONIGHT!

in #meetup7 years ago

FRIDAY - FRIDAY - FRIDAY - ONE DAY ONLY!!!


After an incredibly labor-intensive day getting ready for our departure and a few (3) hours of sleep, @papa-pepper and family made the trek from Arkansas to Wisconsin yesterday, showing up at the house of @grandpa-pepper in time to grab a late dinner. Among the other reasons for this trip is the WISCONSIN STEEMIT MEETUP tonight in the center of the state, provided by @provider.

STEEMIT MEETUPS

Time and time again when I see posts about the steemit meetups going on, I wish that I had been there. The ones in the US (like recently ones in Austin, TX and Florida) are a little more realistic for me, but I miss the ones that I see going on around the world as well. Just the fact that steemians are putting forth the effort to gather together and meet one another offline is incredibly.

Being able to attend the ones that I have been able to has been a huge blessing. I have a few ideas for the future as well to take things a little further, but I'll share more on that later.

WISCONSIN AREA MEETUP TONIGHT

The event tonight was the idea of @provider. He figured, "How can you let @papa-pepper pass through without trying to rally the steemians in the area?" Conveniently, he even secured a meetup location in the direct center of the state, which isn't all that far from some places in Illinois, Iowa, and Minnesota either.

FRIDAY - August 18th - 4pm - 9pm


It'll be an interesting time tonight, and I'll finally get the chance to meet some people from my old home state that I never knew when I lived in Wisconsin, because steemit did not exist then. I'll even try to interview a few for my interview series so that you all can get to know a little more about some of our fellow steemians. Here are a few of my interviews so far.

ARE YOU COMING?

If anyone is interested in coming, please let us know. You can find out more info at my promo post by clicking here.

Whether you can make it or not, I'm sure that a few recap posts will be put out by some who attend, so at least you won't have to miss out on the memories.


As always, I'm @papa-pepper and here's the proof:

Thanks @bien! It would be nice to meet you one day too!

You can made it @papa-pepper ,it would be my greatest honor to meet people like you on this community..

Great job explaining.

Bravo steemit

I wish I still worked for Trane Airconditioning, could have gone to Wisconsin, if only to attend this meeting ;-).

Been there a few times, love it.

Enjoy and keep us posted.

@steemdev; we need a streaming video functionality.

I'm in Wisconsin, too! Wish I could be there tonight. Have a great time!!

Cool, maybe next time. Which area are you in?

South Central....About 30 miles from the IL state line.

Have an extraordinary time tonight @papa-pepper! Be sure to post about it. I'm just a wee bit jealous. I would love to get together with other steemians, but where we live there is not one really close by. For me to attend one would necessitate traveling to other countries which is not bad in itself but the costs become prohibitive quickly.
