CopenSteem is -unfortunately- CANCELED.

This is @meanmommy33 and I am very sad to announce that I have to cancel CopenSteem - or at least postpone it, so it doesn't sound that bad.

I feel really sad because I put A LOT of effort for the last 5 months, to create this account, to try and run it, to look for a venue, to get attention and participation and I am so disappointed that this didn't happen.

So, what did I do to make this happen?

I first created the @copensteem account and later on the Discord.
I got a date for it and started sharing the idea with everyone I knew who might have been interested, on and off Steemit.
I tried to find an affordable venue in case I had to cover the expenses myself.
I kept saying [asking, BEGGING] people to SHARE. Upvotes were never that important for that matter.
I kept researching into finding more people located in Denmark and Scandinavia and I also got help from fellow Steemsugar @soyrosa and former fellow OCD curator @jeanpi1908 to expand the invitation to Holland and Germany - nothing happened...Thank you though guys!

Why didn't it work then?

First of all, people who were supposed or promised to help me [and I'm not going to point fingers here], didn't. I am only ONE person, who also manages @steemsugars and a million other things on and off Steemit.
At the Nordic Blockchain Association [a group of 2500 people based in Copenhagen] they didn't seem to be interested at all - I think most of them don't even know Steemit. Sad but true.
Venues here are very expensive, which means that I needed to have a participation number in order to book anything or try to find something affordable that I could cover myself. I got some advice [again,not pointing fingers] that was the least useful : Since I am not a whale and I live in one of the most expensive countries in the world, clearly I wouldn't be able to cover expenses myself - I'm not a millionnaire. At least, not yet.
I guess there aren't many Steemians around (?)

I will try to do better next time. I will find other ways and insist more. But for now, for April 25th, the event is off.

Too bad that @redrica booked a trip from London to be here, so hopefully we can meet with some Danish based Steemians at least (?)
Open call to: @katharsisdrill, @arsenal49, @irreverent-dan and @rawbinhutt - maybe have a small gathering while @redrica is here? With @creutzy also of course.

I guess not all projects on Steemit end up being successful, and I already got one which is so I can't complain - much. But it does hurt because I did everything I could in my power to make this happen and unfortunately it didn't -and I highly doubt it will in the near future.

I am always available to talk though!
