Emerging from behind the screen...

Tonight's going to be interesting, a journey into the unknown, or at least, the not-so-known. I am attending my first of the 'regular' steemit meet-ups as a proud member of @mallsballers in Adelaide. I say first however in actuality it's my second although the first meet-up I attended was not defined as a regular meet-up: It was the first one. So, this one is taking place at a pub called The Jade located on Flinders Street in the Adelaide CBD. I've not been there before however I hear it's a good spot. I say it'll be interesting as I have missed the first couple of regular catch-ups and the way I understand it there's a few additional members, or attendees, who were not present at the inaugural meet-up so I'll get to meet some new Adelaidian's who write on steemit tonight.

We talk about steemit being a community however it's one that resides behind computer and phone screens generally and a chance to meet up with some real people, like-minded in interests, is one too good to pass up. The initial meet-up arranged and hosted by @mattclarke was a great little event and I'm keen to see who fronts up tonight at The Jade.

I'm travelling to the UK and Finland in the middle of the year and am hoping to have the chance to meet some steemit users along the way. My brother @tarazkp lives in Finland and I know he's been on a recruiting drive so it's my hope to catch up with some of the people he's recruited and I follow also. I understand that many people prefer to have their device and the interweb between them and everyone else and the reasons behind it however there's nothing quite like face-to-face interaction with like-minded people over a beverage right? I think so anyway.

For those of you who happen to read this post and have not been to a meet-up it's worth doing and is a great way to engage. It's not that difficult to arrange either so if there's not one nearby put it out there on the interweb and see what happens.
