I think it's time we start having Steemit meetups everywhere, to build this awesome community, while getting to know eachother!

PLEASE let us know if you would be willing to join us in Colorado Springs, for this awesome Steemit Meetup in this beautiful city!

It is ok if you are late to the event, just please let us know if you will be able to make it πŸ˜„β€οΈπŸ’―

You have a week to think about it, so keep us posted! This will definitely be fun, and we will have time to introduce each other, what we're passionate about, what we like to post on Steemit, what we think the future may hold, and whatever else may come to our minds!

Who knows, maybe we can even go on a hike or something after! The potentials in this city seem limitless πŸ˜„

So if you live anywhere near Colorado, consider making the beautiful drive out to Colorado Springs, to one of the coolest (and relevantly-named) cafes, URBAN STEAM! Be a part of history! This is the first Steemit Meetup in Colorado, and you don't want to miss this... 😏

We will see you there!

Thank you for organizing the meetup and mentioning it in upvotable 34! I am adding it to upvotable 35 along with a tip!

this is actually the 2nd Colorado Meetup - the first one was August 4 https://www.meetup.com/STEEMIT-Denver/ - I will post yours on the Meetup group. I can't make it though unfortunately cuz I have to work.

I like to have the notoriety of first to town, but it's all about spreading the word. Thanks for looking out ;)

Ok lol sorry bout that, I didn’t know there already was one! We’ll call it the first Colorado Springs meetup πŸ˜„πŸ’―β™¨οΈ

And thanks for posting it there!

hey have a great time!

Thanks πŸ˜„ we’ll have to do the next one in Denver again! Let’s plan it in advance so that it works with peoples’ schedules. 🐠🐠🐠🐬🐬

Hey from Denver! ^_^ I might be down for that. Have been speaking to another steemian here in Denver about doing one up this way, too.

I'm going to do my best to make it down for coffee! I'm interested in buying Steemit dollars πŸ’΅ in cash! Please don't transfer your Steem to Steem power, give me a chance to give you cash!

I followed you - I am in Denver

What exactly is the idea behind buying Steem Dollars with cash? Do you anticipate the price of Steem Dollars to skyrocket or something? I'd recommend getting more Steem Power instead! Also, you may want to let your Voting Power recharge, because your upvote dropped below $0.01! Check your Voting Power at www.steemnow.com and type your username in. Try to have 100% voting power for the event when you come!

Thanks for the info, I will let my vote recharge for the next few days! See you Saturday!

I have some you can buy, I really don't want to sell any but I'll sell you what I can at the meet up if you want

That is so awesome! You should both come!! Not too far away πŸ˜„ Let's do the first one here in Colorado Springs and then the next one in Denver 😏

hey amvanaken. not sure if i can make co springs meetup, might be very last minute and dependent on weather. bit of a drive for me as i'm north of boulder. but please keep me on your list for a general CO group!

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ (edited)

It’s alright @torico ! Please feel free to show up fashionably-late or just let me know if you 100% won’t be able to make it (which is okay). Also, the weather here has been beeeaaaautiful the past few days
πŸ˜„β€οΈβ›°
Also, yesss, I will keep you in mind for future meetups! Maybe the next one can be more central Colorado like Boulder or Dillon?πŸ€”

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

forecast is for cold and rain all weekend here. thunderstorms where you are. unless weather changes drastically i am down for not attending/another time. boulder area is doable for me. dillon not so much.

Ok wow I didn’t know that. Well, we will see how it goes, and keep you in mind for the next meetup! πŸ˜„ What about Denver, would that be accessible for you?

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

sorry i missed this. yes, depending on day time. gotta work around irl things :)

No worries (: How do you feel about Wednesday’s?

Hi - I just followed you - Iam in Denver

Yeah, great to meet you here!

Friday night, I'm out of town and may be very late so I'm not sure how that would flow for me to leave early and be in the springs by 10. Shoot!

It's ok if you show up fashionably late πŸ˜„
I said 10 just to have a beginning time but you can show up late if you can 😏 Better late than not at all! I think it'll be really fun.

I'm sure it will be.

Fri is a new moon and I am getting into something with musicians I hardly ever get to hang out with.

I'm planning to head down to meet up with you tho, man. I wouldn't want to miss it. (Will need the coffee when I get there, I'm sure! hah)

Where you going on Friday? Just curious. And the coffee there is amazing, and the conversations will be even more amazing πŸ˜„ So I'm happy you're thinking you're still gonna make it there!

Some of my woo-woo buddies in Boulder are doing a jam session. I just haven't seen them in forever. New moon energy out of Mercury retrograde, so it should be a kickass time to wail.

And yeah man, looking forward to meeting up with you and whoever shows up. I shared your post with my new steem buddy who lives in Denver but not sure if she can make it or not.

Looking forward to convo and amazing coffee. Let's see what we can get into.

Oh...and if you're on discord or steemit chat, I'm on there with the same nick as here.

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ (edited)

Sounds awesome man! At first @broncnutz and I thought it might be just us but it's sounding like more people are gonna show up πŸ˜„ And yes please, share with as many people as possible! And if it's an issue, we could find a way to carpool and give your friend(s) a ride. Looking forward to it for sure!! And yeah I'm on Steemit Chat with the same username as well, feel free to message

Very COOL! Looking forward to making future meetups.
Love the name of the Cafe... Perhaps the first order of business will be to get Urban Steam to also be an Urban STEEM and accept Steem payments. Someone should probably show the owners how to build an account.
Best of wishes folks. Hope to see you all at future events.

Highest regards.

I followed you I am in Denver.

Yeahhhhhhh for real LOL @broncnutz and I were talking about the best place to have the meetup at, and it just made the most sense to host it at a place with "Steam" in the name :D
And yeah I think tomorrow I will show all of them how dope STEEMIT is. I think it will be more impressive if they see that we all came to meetup via the app itself, showing that the community is strong.

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ (edited)

Oh no! I'm just seeing this! I hadn't been in chat in several days.... Thanks @intuitivejakob for sending me the link.

The hubs is managing the dispensary this weekend so we can't make it. (Seeing how it's CURRENTLY happening as I type.)

We'd love to hit the next one in Colorado- wherever that may be.

Note: We live in the middle of literally nothing. While it's probably the most beautiful place on earth, it doesn't have many amenities suitable for a meetup... Eventually, we would LOVE to host a meetup here, just to show off. 😎

Have a fabulous time!

It's actually tomorrow (saturday), not today!
But it's understandable if it's not gonna work for yall.
What about maybe Denver or Boulder, would that be a better place to meet up for you, for next time? Lots of people are saying Denver would be better, and I want to get everybody's opinion so we can go ahead and start planning the next one! (:

Lol! I totally woke up today thinking it was Saturday. The beauty of working from home. 😍

Hubs works all weekend. Check out his "High On Dispensaries" series, if you're bored and stuff. @chrisroberts
😎

Re: Location: We really like Co. Springs, but are cool with Denver too. 😊

I added him to my SteemVoter already and soon I will add you too! We will have to collaborate on a future date that works with everybody!

I followed you - I am in Denver.

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

I'll spread the word and try to make it. Just a bit of a drive from Denver. Happy to share suggestions / advice as I hosted something similar a few months ago: https://steemit.com/steemit/@tayken/steemit-meetup-denver-co

Much ❀️

I appreciate that! And also, it’s ok if you’re late! We will most likely be chilling for a long time there. Next time, we’ll do it in Denver again! 🐠

Wish I could make it, sounds awesome! Gotta work though!

Next time we’ll organize it in a way that is accessible via everybody’s schedule! ♨️

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Oh my gosh!! A Colorado Steemit meetup!!! This is so exciting! I'm up in Boulder but I'll see if I can make it down there this Saturday :)

Yesssss, please do! And tell all your friends in Colorado to come! πŸŽ‰β™¨οΈβ€οΈ

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

hi @mrslauren and @jayjayjeffery also up for something closer to Boulder. please keep me in the loop. i'll follow both of you :)

I'm in Boulder too... maybe a Boulder Steemit party will be in order (;

yes!!

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

I'd be in board for a Boulder meetup. I can likely secure space at Galvanize but prbly don't have bandwidth to organize.

Hi! I followed you I am in Denver.

This looks good. I'll re Steem this and post about it soon.

Thanks @broncnutz ! I'm really looking forward to the event! I've been sharing it with lots of people via Steemit Chat and I will also be sharing it on other apps too.

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Hello from Denver as well. I will see if I can make it to this meetup.

I am also set to check out the interview with @kennyskitchen in Journeys for Conscious Living in Arvada, CO on September 25. Maybe we can get a group from Steemit to meetup there as well?

I'm going to do my best to make it down for coffee! I'm interested in buying Steemit dollars πŸ’΅ in cash! Please don't transfer your Steem to Steem power, give me a chance to give you cash!

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

@briandenver are you looking for STEEM or STEEM Based Dollars (SBDs)?

I have 5 $20 USD bills πŸ’΅ I would like to physically give a human in exchange for Steem dollars πŸ’΅ or Steemit dollars πŸ’΅ or ??? I don't even have a cryptocurrencies wallet set up yet πŸ€‘

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

@briandenver good news is you do have a wallet through Steemit for both liquid STEEM and SBDs and it's already set up for you to both send and receive those cryptos. Looks like you already have some crypto (just over 10 SBDs in your wallet).

See you at the Meetup.

I’d recommend buying Steem Power instead of Steem Dollars. There’s no incentive or gain with holding Steem Dollars, however, there are massive rewards to be had with holding Steem Power!! ♨️

Hey! Also in Denver here (lived in Arvada for some time, too). Would love to check out what you're doing. Was looking into helping coordinate a Denver meet up here as well.

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

@intuitivejakob love to catch up with you both at either event (or both). The event in Arvada is something @kennyskitchen spoke with me about during a podcast interview I did with him a couple of weeks back.

I've been looking to pull together a Steemit accelerator here in Denver, but I paused when I did not see an real interest put forward during my initial post looking for any interested parties. Maybe I should reconsider?

Can you give us some more details about the other event?

I also think that you should reconsider because this area is FULL of really open-minded people, and I think that's a huge requirement for a potential Steemit-User. Many people are too narrow-minded to leave their other social medias, and I think that this area has A LOT of potential! I think it would be cool to do the next meetup in Denver so we should plan the next one out soon too! I hope yall will be able to make it (: And who knows maybe we could videochat with people who cant make it to the event lol

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

@amvanaken about five months ago, I was looking into creating a Steemit accelerator in the Denver area, and I wanted to see:

  1. If there were other Steemit users in the Rocky Mountain region in sizable numbers.
  2. Would they be willing to Meetup at a regular Steemit meetup in the Denver metro area?
  3. Could it grow large enough to potentially host a STEEMFest-type event? Turns out there is a ton of interest in Denver as a location for a major event. I'd be happy to pull together the event because I used to have business doing that in Florida.

My original post Rocky Mountain Region STEEM/Steemit Accelerator Meetup: Gauging Interest Phase received a ton of support from others in other states, but I didn't see sufficient numbers to move the needle and convince me there was a community to support this accelerator idea. I had a location settled and everything. I also have two newbies who are very interested.

I'm looking forward to this Saturday at Urban Steam. We can talk more about it there. I am also trying to get @kennyskitchen to attend as well. He will be in town until (I think) the end of September, and he has some pretty deep connections with other Steemit users in the Denver area as well and the anarchy community on Steemit.

I'm all about this. Already have a few steemians in the somewhat local arena who I'm talking to about this. One of whom is planning to attend in CoSpgs on Sat with us!

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

I should be there around 10:30 AM today. See you then.

Great! Im running about that same time myself. Just about to get out the door as soon as i pack up my laptop and feed the quadrupeds.

Looking forward to meeting you guys!!

Wow @lpfaust it’s looking like the future is looking bright for Steemit πŸ˜„ I think this will be a hotspot area for Steemians soon, and it’s cool to be able to help make that happen! Also, I am looking forward to Saturday as well! Please keep me posted with any updates for this event or the interview you’re talking about!

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

@amvanaken see you on Saturday at Urban Steam.

Awesome, we will see you there!

Hey man! I would love that! I would also be willing to help! Im on discord and steemit chat w this same nick.

Lets connect and plan⚑

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

@intuitivejakob let's discuss it this Saturday. See you at Urban Steam.

Sounds like a plan!

Hi - I followed you I am in Denver too.

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

@in2itiveart thanks for the follow. I appreciate it.

I am currently working with @intuitivejakob to get a Denver meetup squared away tentatively for Wednesday October 4. I will be posting the details in a few days.

Word em up!

Super stoked on this and ready to do whatever needs to be done to get something regular happening so that our community is being served.

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ (edited)

Well I really hope you make it to both πŸ˜„ I will probably go to that other event also if it's open to all Steemians 😏 But you should definitely come to the Colorado Springs Meetup too!

I'm super bummed that I'm out in Philly and so far, from reaching out a bit, I haven't had much interest in one of the largest cities in the US!?!
Anyway, super jealous but I wish you luck and a great turn out. I can't wait to see these evolve, than hubs... Oh the possibilities of Steemit. Keep up the good work gentlemen!

Yeah honestly you shouldn't get disappointed when people give you "the Fluoride Stare" when you bring this up with them LOL I think one of the best methods could be just printing out small cards that say something like " @Steemit: Come for the rewards, stay for the community" which I think is the offical slogan of Steemit. I feel like when I tell people about Steemit many of them think I'm trying to sell them Steem or something... It also takes a LONG time to fully grasp the whole concept and all the variables, so the average conversation on the street is just not gonna be long enough probably.

I'm from Denver! Sorry I couldn't make it today- do you think you might video some of the event?

No worries (: Not sure if we will be making a video, but we will definitely be posting about it! Let us know what day would work for you for a future meetup!

I followed you - in Denver too!

Awesome! Maybe a weekend in a couple of weeks? I'm excited for all of us to get together!

It was great meeting you at coffee today! Next meet ups in Denver!

Drive a Yukon XL ! Let's carpool! We can meet at Park Meadows Mall!

You’re saying that’s what you drive? Also, I’m not sure where that is. I’ve been in Colorado Springs / Old Colorado City area for a while.
