Yesterday's meetup in Kansas City has my heart overflowing. It was awesome to see some Steemian friends I hadn't seen since the Springfield meetup ( @stellabelle & @papa-pepper) or when I was on @steemittalk ( @sykochica ), and get to have some great conversation...meaningful conversation.
Stella even graced us all with a truly generous Steem it Forward initiative in the form of a special token with a few rules and some pretty big power. I can't wait to use mine and then pass it on. Such a great idea.
Stella's efforts to make this event happen was a really big deal. She cooked for all of us. She even made delicious Steemit cupcakes!!
Having experience booking shows, planning events, and planning meetups, I know they can be a logistical nightmare, and I really appreciate the efforts of @stellabelle in all the hard work I know she put into this. It doesn't go unnoticed, Stella. Thank you so much.
I knew @pierrefilms looked familiar, but I couldn't place from where, until I learned that I actually saw him on YouTube a while back from this video. We have the best people involved in our community here, guys.
I told myself that for this meetup, I was going to be sure to take pics on my phone...but yet again, that didn't really happen. This is literally the only picture I took, so I'm incredibly thankful that @melodyrussell and @jasonrussell were there to make sure the event was documented, and I can't wait to see the photos they took. I was too busy listening, talking, and playing music. :)
Special thanks to new Steemit user, intelligently beautiful soul, and another great friend of mine from home, @sylviategan, for giving me permission to use one of her images for the cover image of ths post Check out her recap here!.
I also can't wait to see all of what Jason and Mel captured for us. I had a bit of sneak peek after we got back to Springfield, and am really excited for you guys to see some of these great moments captured, they worked hard at various angles the entire time, shooting the event and networking too. Talk about multi-tasking!
Thank you to those who were there, for letting me share my original music with you, for bearing with my questions and the occasional blither, and while I didn't get to have in-depth conversations with everyone, it was so nice to just spend time with you all and share in this amazing platform we all now all call home.

Make it happen! Steem work = team work! You won't regret the regional-feel of the experience, and I'm sure you'll have surprise visitors from who knows where around the country/world!

That sucks you weren't able to come hang out, but I totally understand the being tied up with obligations while the fun stuff is going on at the same time. I'm sure we will be doing something fun again sooner than later! :)

So much love @jessamynorchard! This was such an incredible experience and @jasonrussell and I have you to thank for introducing us to the wonderful world of Steemit!
This was an amazing learning and networking experience and I can't thank you enough for letting us tag along. Not to mention that we always love seeing you perform!
I'm so excited to share some photos as soon as possible! I've been picking through them and will try to post tonight. Now as for jason, well.. he's pretty tuckered out after such a fun weekend, haha 😊
Also, I wanted to mention that we unfortunately weren't able to get a good video. (Class of '97 was blowing up the background sound lol) I noticed @fungusmonk and @virtualgrowth taking some video, so I'm sure one of them would be kind enough to share if they captured a good one!
It was so nice to catch up and spend some time with you and Jene. Thank you for your hospitality, the deeply meaningful conversation, and all of the laughs! Good times, friend. Good times :)

Yes. All of this. Spending this weekend with you guys and sharing this event with you, all of us in our element (even if a bit out of it from an anxiety point of view), but also outside of MV...or a "local" thing.
Those local events are SO of the utmost importance, but to have this experience with you guys, a couple of my longest and best friends...was just beyond words. An incredibly amazing time.
I loved our road trip. I hadn't been on a road trip with friends in a long time, and this one definitely went in the books as one of my favorites.
It kinda blew my mind that we were so immersed in conversation all the way up and back that we didn't really even listen start sharing music with each other in the car until we got to Clinton, because we were just engaged in deep conversation and processing the amazingness of the day.
@melodyrussell, you and @jasonrussell are really amazing to watch work together. Watching you guys working together capturing the event from its various angles and emotional standpoints is just like watching a couple dance together.
Love you both. Thank you for spending the time with us. I hope it can happen sooner than later. Jene and I have talked about it all day how much we enjoyed having you guys here last night and just hanging out and having kickass conversation.
Again. Love. So. So much. I'm so glad you're here.

@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

Hey @mero! Thanks for checking my page out.
Just a helpful hint, typically the follow-for-follow and vote asking in comments doesn't always work super well. Just make sure you promote your posts on steemit.chat in the apppropriate rooms, read the pinned posts, and promo that content so people can see it...and keep that content high-quality and the followers and community will rally behind you. :)
