The Results are in - The Minneapolis / St. Paul Meetup was a Success :)
This past Friday, we hosted the "Steem Meetup" event in Minneapolis / St. Paul. Twenty-one people attended, and it was a lot of fun!
We started out at Davanni's Pizza in Edina, Minnesota. Everyone hung out there for a few hours, talked (mostly about Steemit) and ate lots of food.
We had everyone clearly print their username on a "sign in" sheet, so that we could tell who all was there.
- Back Row: @raizel, @elderfinancial, @dogguy, @mada, @greatdabu, @lovejoy, @preparedwombat, @ducksaplenty, @knowtheropes, @intothewild, @artist1989

Of course, no group photo is complete without a "silly" shot =)
After Davanni's, we headed over to Dave and Buster's and played video games!
The event was tons of fun!!

Special thanks to @artist1989 for designing the t-shirts that we handed out, and for putting all the photographs together!
I hope to see you all again at the next meetup =)
I don't think I could have had a better time @timcliff ! Except for maybe being able to stay a little longer at D&B, but tis the life with wife and kids. Hope to see you and everyone else at the next one. Or even better, just walking down the street :)
It was so great to meet you! I'm glad you had a good time :)
i want to enjoy it
I feel jealous to have such beautiful gathering
wow very cool.. I think there should be steemit meet up all around the world.. and we should have rewards for helping new people get on boarding/
I've seen a lot of meetups around the world. It's pretty cool :) There is also SteemFest later this year!
Best of times @timcliff! Thank you for hosting such a wonderful Meetup! We had a blast!
It was a lot of fun! I really enjoyed talking to you. Glad you were there :)
Well, that was worth a full power UV just now LOL!
Awesome!!!!
I love seeing stuff like this.
Hey man, where did you get those sweet Steemit shirts some of you have on???
Can you send me one LOL!!!!
I will send you SBD and it is nice to get stuff that is not a bill lol
Good work everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was hoping to see @lauralemons and @ericvancewalton in there!
Our original plan was to have @artist1989 provide the image file for people to use, and instructions on how to print them off from Zazzle, but I found out after we made them that we technically weren't supposed to use "Steemit", since Steemit, Inc. reserves the rights to that..
I've seen some noise on that issue.
is this REALLY a thing?
We are all here together building this, right?
Does @ned really have an issue with this?
I would think not.... we need family, unity and commUNITY here for mass name recognition and adoption.
I cannot honestly imagine why this would really be an issue........... I have seen some of the stuff in cursory on this lately and just honestly SMH at it.
They are OK with us using the Steem name + logo, just not "Steemit". I'm pretty sure that it gets into a slippery slope - if they say 'yes' to one, then it opens the door for more. They want to reserve the rights to their company/brand.
Sigh.
I understand of course.
As a new person in steemit I also really like this shirt
@siren7
Agreed. @opheliafu has an online store also, I am headin there now.
Thanks again for putting this all together, @timcliff! I had a blast, and now know that 4-person air hockey is a thing: )
It was so much fun. Thanks for being there! :)
@TimCliff - awesome job on the event. I've been to quite a few different bitcoin/altcoin related events over the last 5 years and this was at the top of my list for both fun & interactive. A+ job! :)
Thanks!
@timcliff Thank you for being a fantastic host! I had a lot of fun and it was great to meet new faces. :)
I had a lot of fun with you guys. I don't normally get out that much, but i'm glad I did. Thank you for setting up this awesome get together.
Welcome - I'm really glad you were there :)
Thanks again @timcliff for hosting such a fun evening! I really enjoyed meeting so many local Steemians and look forward to the next get together.
Yes, I had fun meeting you as well!
Thank you @timclff! It was a great opportunity to learn and have a blast! I can't wait for the next "meet up" or maybe just full on party and get to know everyone better :)
Me too :)
