A Portland Meet-up!!
This meet-up has been about 6 months in the making and I'm pleased to say it's on the calendar. Thank you @nickh725 and @doctorcyrpto.
Saturday, Feb. 24th 3pm at Hopworks Urban Brewery on N. Williams, http://hopworksbeer.com/eat/bikebar/ (thank you HUB for the header photo)
Connecting face-to-face is makes this platform even more meaningful, so I'm really looking forward to this. So far it's the 3 of us plus @emilyrose, @greyhawk and I'm hoping some friends who I gave a brief steemit orientation to on Saturday will also join.
@haphazard-hstead and @alexbeyman are you local? @crystalize and @reddragonfly any chance you are willing and able to come down from the Seattle area? I know it's a long trip but consider it anyway.
Please spread this news around, I'm fairly sure there are many more of us here in the Willamette Valley!
RSVP in the comments if you will come so that I know how large a table to grab. Partners, friends, those mildly interested in Steemit are all welcome.
See you all then and in the meantime I'll see some more steemit friends in NYC next week, some of whom I met for the first time exactly a year ago :-))!
2 great friends and @greyhawk (Rob) at our place on Saturday for a steemit orientation to help them started
How fun! I'll come up from the other end of the Willamette Valley. It's on my calendar now. :D :D
YAY!!! So glad to hear it, that's great news!!!!
I hope this goes well for you. I'm jealous as it would be lovely to do a meetup. I saw you were going to be in NYC which is sort of in 'my neck of the woods' well a 4 hour car drive. Too bad you aren't doing a meet up in Boston.
I hope all who attend have a wonderful time and looking forward to more posts of your work process in the future. I think of you every day that I am considering my little print studio set up this Summer, your studio post really lit a fire. :)
Have fun all!
Consider initiating a meet-up in Boston or wherever is close to you, it's as easy as meeting people for coffee! I'm here in NY and just met up with a few steemians, it's something I wish I could do more regularly....some really great people here on the platform!
I'm so glad to hear that you have plans to get your print set up going and that your fire has been lit ;-)) By the way, where are you located?
I will be there! I believe @correctdrop and @bmillz are also Portlanders.
Join us!
Thanks dude, I would be there, But sadly now I have to work weekends now for the next few months. You guys will have a great time though for sure.
Sorry to hear you can't come, maybe next time we can do it on a weekday
Excellent, so glad and do you know them? Can you tell them? If not lmk and I'll see if I can contact them
I don't know them. I am bringing my brother though. He is @fronttowardenemy. Also my son might come he is @skunkybum.
Perfect!! We'll have a great group!
I left a note for @connectdrop but @bmillz must be spelled differently since it doesn't open.
@daniphotography and I left Portland for New Orleans about a year ago but we're with y'all in in spirit!
New Orleans is wonderful, hope life is good for you there! Good place to organize a meet-up too. Thanks for your good wishes
I'm so glad this is coming together! :) Very excited!
me too :-))))
I'll be showing up with @doctorcrypto. Looking forward to meeting everyone!
Great, so glad to hear it!!
Hi @natureofbeing! Woot, I love this. I'm scheduled to be in California that week but I think I can get the weekend free. Let me see what I can do. Love this idea!
YAY!!!!! I SO hope you can come, thanks for sticking this process out, you've been great.
That would be cool. I grew up in Forest Grove and lived in Portland.
Oh Portlandia!
Lol, indeed
are you local?
actually I see you are not at all local ;-))
No, I'm from a far off land, but after watching the TV show I think it's the perfect place for a geek like me. ;)
It is, trust me I have lived here all of my life pretty much so far. And most people here are way into tech, cryptocurrency, legal weed, and also coffee and beer!!! Oh also the show has really captured us well, like scary spot on!
Yeah, we Keep-Portland-Weirdian is/are pretty nerdy.
White and Nerdy like a Weird Al song.
It is white and nerdy, you've nailed it LOL! Are you coming?
:-), a misfit like me too
"Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes..."
What?!?!? This is awesome. I’m filming some videos for a campaign I’m running for a theatre on Saturday or else I would definitely want to go to this (I live in Seattle). Are there going to be more? My bf is also very into steemit so both of us would probably be into coming to one of these. :)
I SO wish you and your bf could come, I would really really love to meet you in person!! This is the first one here but we'll have to do more. I tried to set one up in Seattle last fall but just coudn't get enough momentum to warrant a trip up there. I am completely willing however to come up for one in Seattle. Let's set one up for next month or something! Pick a few dates that work for you and let me know. Then we can put together posts and make it happen.
Oh, I’d be into that. Last weekend of March or first weekend of April are looking pretty good! I get the sense there are quite a few PNW’ers on steemit, it would be cool to gather them even more. Any other peops I should definitely be on the lookout for?
P.S. I have a lot of friends down in PDX (I went to college at University of Portland) so I never mind an excuse to visit folks. :)
we can do one in seattle AND you can come down for another one here ;-)
I'm going to reach out to @reddragonfly to see which he and his wife are available. Out of curiosity, are weekdays possible for you if so, give me a few and I'll offer these as well.
Typically Mondays and Fridays are great for me (although I am unavailable Fri, April 6). :)
ok great...give me a little time and I'll circle around to this again xo
Steemians UNITED !!!! :D
Cheers to that!!
So cool , I wish we have here too soon ! 😀
you can initiate one in your area!!
Wow... This looks like a lot of fun already...
Too bad I'm in another continent... Africa...
Would've so loved to be a part of this....
:-)!! Maybe you can set up one in your area?
Oh yes yes...
I'm seriously working towards that...
So cool that you can meet like-minded people.
Yes, last year I met up with some steemians in new york and it was so powerful to meet face to face with people I'd known on the platform. Really made what we're doing here come alive for me.
This looks like so much fun! If it were warmer (and I had a campervan) I'd consider driving down from BC to join in! Have a fabulous time. Hooray for community! :)
thank you @katrina-ariel :-) and I love that you even considered it for a moment!
Road trips can be fun.
Oh, I would love to live closer so that I could meet you guys; sounds like so much fun!
I wish that too, would be great to meet you!
I could be talked into it.
playing hard to get are you ;-)?
Have fun! just love hearing that steemians meetup everywhere.. so amazing!
ah .. I wish I was not so much in a distant country: /
perhaps you can meet up with some people where you are!
Hey Ruth, I'm Oatmeal Joey from Forest Grove, Oregon, and this is awesome. Do you know Free Geeks who may come to this Portland PDX Steem Meet Up?
For those who do not know, Free Geek Computers is a place I used to volunteer at in PDX for some years since 2007 where I learned how to build computers. We learned about Linux, specifically Ubuntu operating systems (OS). I'm using Ubuntu Mate on my computer laptop right now. We learned a lot of things computer related and I volunteered there helping with recycling stuff and in building computers and they had great snacks there and great people I met there.

I hope Free Geek people can come if they want to the Steem Meet in PDX. I'm in Shelton near Seattle, so I may not make it to PDX. But I am happy for Steem, Linux, Bitcoin, Free Geek, Bit Torrent, blockchain technology, natural remedies, etc.
I've used freegeek many times and anyone interested in steemit is certainly welcome! Will you be coming?
